My husband has been coming her for years, and he loves TaeKwonDo. Global is a part of the ITF– International TaeKwonDo Federation– which always makes me think of the Star Trek federation, but is actually quite different. Master Howard leads the classes in patterns, sparring, and board breaking, from beginner to advanced. Master Howard is a seventh degree black belt(out of a possible nine) and has a wealth of knowledge for any level of TKDer. No one is too young or old to TKD. From age 5 to 105, there are all ages, genders, physical backgrounds, and professions that participate. TKD is a great work out and self defense training. I’ve taken a few beginner classes, but TKD just isn’t my cup of tea. The students that come here are very energetic, ready to learn, and train hard. They have regular belt-testing and bi-yearly black belt testing, so if you work hard you can advance fairly quickly. They have several students that compete on a national and international level, so if you’re looking for motivation to get in shape, they’ll do it. Seating is limited, so if you’re here to observe a class or belt testing, be sure to arrive a bit early and bring a blanket — they keep the dojo quite cold, so that the students don’t get too hot.
