"K-Top is such a wonderful environment. On our first visit, other parents of K-Top students told me how much we would love it here, and K-Top has exceeded expectations. It is immediately evident that Master Jo, Jenny and Anna care about each student and helping them reach their full potential. Every student gets exactly the amount of individual attention and support they need. The expectations are high, but Master Jo makes sure to meet my child exactly where he is. K-Top goes above and beyond. They make you feel welcome, and are truly invested in their students well being. The growth in my son, both physically, and with focus and self control has been amazing to witness. I have so much appreciation for the patience and hard work of K-Top Taekwondo and Martial Arts."
