Charleston Taekwondo

Charleston Taekwondo provides structure in a fun environment. It’s amazing to see the confidence that these kids gain from working with Master Rider and Mr. Manquen.
I would highly recommend Charleston Taekwondo for anyone looking for a great extracurricular activity for their kids!

I am active duty military and my son has been involved with Taekwondo since first grade. As we have moved around the country he previously studied at 2 other places. This is his third program and by far the best. Master Rider really nows how to push the kids to succeed. The sport aspect of the program is awesome, but he does not sacrifice discipline or structure. Highly recommend it

This is an amazing program that has helped to transform my extremely hyper son to a more focused athlete. The instructors are very patient with the children and have enthusiasm for the sport of taekwondo. By far, the best martial arts program in Charleston!

Charleston Taekwondo is an awesome martial arts school that offers every child the opportunity to learn the art of taekwondo from a former Olympian athlete! The opportunities at charleston taekwondo are endless! Children become stronger mentally and physically through Master Rider’s teaching technique! Highly recommended!

Master Rider and all of the staff are truly as good as it gets. Some are born teachers and some are gifted at a skill; Master Rider is a rare example of someone who is both.
My son earned his 1^st degree black belt at a traditional school, his 2^nd degree at a sport school, and is working on his 3^rd degree at Charleston TKD which is the best of both worlds. We drive 30+ minutes each way for this school even though there are others 5 minutes from the house!
If you are looking for an activity that not only gives you or your child a workout, but also teaches discipline and self-​confidence, this is the place. Whether you are completely new to the sport or are working toward an advanced rank, there is no better school in the tri-​county area. As an added bonus, Master Rider is certified in Cross Fit, Kid Fit, and Weightlifting (I’m sure I’m forgetting something). Don’t take my word for it, go check it out. The introductory offer is awesome. I rarely gush, but they deserve it!
