Tracy Spencer: When my son was entering kindergarten, I didn't know what to do in terms of his afterschool care. Two colleagues of mine, both had their sons enrolled in Hanmi's Afterschool Program. I reached out to the studio and scheduled a meeting with Grand Master Brown. I remember my initial hesitation prior to meeting with her.I am VERY happen to say, my family has been PROUD members for many years.

I'm so happy they offer their after school program as I don't think we would have discovered them otherwise. Thank you to everyone at Hanmi, you are doing amazing things for the community and it's kids.

But if you slack off you'll regret it haha I'm just fooling around but this place I sugest you go here.

Shawn Whitney: Coming from someone with over 15 years of training David Staples has great skill and very knowledgeable in the details of American Kenpo.

Julie Terna: Premier Sport TaekWonDo is The Best Martial Art School and The Best Coaches, They Really Know how to work with Kids !!! My Kids Love Master Kim and Master Rachael !!! ❤️❤️

Jeong Lee: Sport Taekwondo has been such a big part of my children's lives since they were 5 so the first thing we did when we moved to MA was to look for the best Taekwondo school. We immediately fell in love with Premier Sport Taekwondo after the trial classes and it has now been about 10 months. Master Kim and Master Rachael are very enthusiastic about developing the students as both martial artists and athletes. I love their modernized training methods and dedication to the students. Thanks to these wonderful masters, my children have matured so much physically, technically and mentally since joining Premier Sport Taekwondo. I strongly recommend Premier Sport Taekwondo!

Danica Fiore: Truly a life saver, great classes and a fantastic community. It's a great way to be active in a fun way, besides, who doesn't want to end a stressful day by kicking and punching something?? Such a positive learning environment filled with people who inspire you to always do your best. I can't recommend it enough.

Beth Densmore: .An exceptional program. Congrats to Master Rachael and Master Kim on an amazing tournament. Everyone works hard and still they have funThe individual attention is amazing. Each child is recognized for theiraccomplishments at every level.

Doug Kennedy: Great instructors who help you grow physically and mentally. Especially Ed Burch, he is extremely personable and engaging. Ed runs a really chill class but still pushes us to be our best. I can’t imagine where I’d be if I hadn’t joined this school!

Allison LeMay: My son started at PSTKD in Dec 2021 and absolutely loves his time in class. He looks forward to each class and even started to earn stripes to reach the next belt level. The schedule of classes offers many opportunities for my son to continue to develop his skills. Masters Kim and Rachel are very passionate about their work and I highly recommend this TKD school.

Melissa Clark: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityMy daughter loves it! I have watched her grow & her confidence is soaring. Master Kim & Master Rachel go above & beyond for their students. They're so helpful & hard working.

Gustavo Galvez: Excellent teaching. Highly recommend it for everyone.

Shiroma Herath: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueMy 5 year old daughter loves this places from the day one. Nice and professional staff. I love how they teach discipline to kids and the way they keep the place very clean. Also they always try to maintain good communication with parents. Master Kim does an amazing job!

Dennis Doherty: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueMy daughter loves Acro class!! Ed is great with the kids and teaches not only the technical skills but also a can do attitude. I would recommend this class to anyone looking for acro skills.

Evolve Tutoring: Our son has been a member at PSTKD since October of 2020. In that time Tanner has not only improved so much in terms of belts, his coordination, balance, confidence, and love for the sport have grown as well. We are parents who let him choose what he wants to do when it comes to activities and he loves it so much he doesn't want to do any other sport at the moment because he doesn't want to miss any of his classes, which he attends 3 to 4 of each week! Master Kim is a tremendous teacher, with just the right combination of firmness, humor, and encouragement. Master Rachel is also great, always there to answer questions and also to genuinely encourage the kids. The words that they teach the students; humility, respect, discipline, perseverance and integrity aren't just catch phrases, they are truly taught to the kids and they mean something. I also like that students are not only rewarded, but at times they are penalized for bad behavior as well. While it's always done respectfully, it is also firm and clear. I like that they are teaching them that there are consequences for negative behavior. We also love the Acro classes with Ed. Our son is still learning to move his body in certain ways, and Acro is not only effective, but Ed keeps it so fun for the kids as they run around, tumble, and push themselves to take risks. Ed has a great way with them, and our son always has a blast. This place is the real deal, and we feel fortunate to live in town and be able to have our son be part of this community for a long time to come.

Rebecca Dagostino: Our girls have been coming to Premier Sport Taekwondo for several years now. They have attended summer camp, belt classes and Acro with Ed. The kids are so happy with new skills they learn from Ed in Acro and when the earn stripes in class. During the pandemic, we were so happy with their protocols and great communication. We highly recommend this place to anyone interested in Taekwondo or Acro.

Maria Adamo: We LOVE PSTKD! I have a very outgoing 7 y/o boy and a very shy 5 y/o girl and I am so impressed by how engaged and excited they both are going here. Master Kim really does an amazing job really trying to understand where each kid struggles and strives, and works on accentuating their talents and encouraging growth in weaker areas. Particularly for shy, introverted children I recommend this to everyone who will listen.Communication with parents is great, I am new to TKD and all of my emailed questions about belts, testing, schedule etc are answers quickly and concisely.

Dena O'Leary: I have 5 of my children taking classes at Premier Sport. They absolutely love it! Master Kim and Master Rachel are great with the kids. They keep it fun and interesting, while teaching form and skills. I have one child with learning differences, and they work with her to make sure she always feels successful in class. My kids have ALL gained incredible confidence and invaluable life skills through this program. I can't recommend PSTK enough!!!!

man vas: My kid loves to go there

Aimee Healy: PSTKD has changed our lives. Master Kim and Master Rachael are the real deal! The opportunities they provide for their students are endless.

Treva Howard: Positive:ProfessionalismMy son just started back and he loves it. He enjoys interacting with Master Kim and Master Rachael. They are the best!

Heather K. Nadeau: So, have you ever found something so perfect that you worry that it is too good to be true and/or it will go away? No, just me and my crazy brain? Anyway, THAT is PSTK. We just started this summer with a camp and this is now one of my son's favorite places to be. And, it is one of my favorite places for him. Master Kim and Master Rachael are amazing with my 6 son with autism; patient, kind, understanding, and caring. They have been amazingly responsive and helpful with me as we discussed the best class options for him. And they really have taken the time to get to know him and our family. Is 6 stars an option? ❤️

Jader Rodrigues: A great place to develop your child's skills and discipline.

Philip Bianchi: My daughter loves it,awesome teacher highly recommend 👌

D2y: I’m loyal members of TaeKwonDo. My 2 sons went there. I had been TaeKwonDo 6 or 7 years. I took adult class in morning for my kids. I Never have any problem. But until last testing We didn’t finish because we got Monday issued with them. I paid and they said they didn’t get it. No markdown and couldn’t find my application form. I freaked out.They rare super friendly and polite, but grandmaster really like high five, shake hand, touch my hand and standing very close to me, next to me. Couple times I didn’t feel anything, but again and again, through this pandemic, felt so weird. I don’t feel comfortable. It just didn’t feel right. We refused to go and discontinue.I don’t recommend and no suggestion for anyone to go.

Jamie Rotman: We love USTC best place to learn Tae Kwon Do

Kavita Babu: Bringing kids here for years. The instructors are tremendous.

Ram Mohan: I don't suggest this place for anybody. My kids have been going there for an year, now we are relocating to some other place and wanted to discontinue as it might take time for me to settle down in new place and workout logistics to send my kids again. We went at least 10times to give the notice that we're discontinuing, they always say that we need to talk to master and I waited for him more than an hr once, finally he comes and say that we'll talk later about this and never gives an appointment but continues to charge my credit card. Now finally we were able to give a written notice but receives a form from them that I need to provide them the new address that I am relocating to and it's mandatory for my daughters to join there if they find a center within 25 miles range otherwise they continue to charge my credit card and my credit score will be impacted- I am really surprised with this situation. Any suggestions? This is literally cheating and planning to fight legally.

John Boelke: A friendly and knowledge staff that always offers encouragement. They never push you beyond your limits.My entire family earned our black belts here and I am in better physical shape then when I was 20.

Annony Mous: The center is like any other martial Arts center, but lacks the most critical and basic soft skills that Martial artists should stand out for: Ethics and Integrity and it is sad that this center or the owner does not lead by example.I had enrolled my son and paid upfront for an annual membership. Unfortunately, we had to move after about 3 and 1/2 months and I gave at least 1 month advance notice to the owner about the move and closing my son's account. I was assured that I just need to provide my new address after I move and the details and balance amount check from account closure would be mailed out. But nothing happened after I contacted the center with my new address and followed up with multiple emails, and even called and spoke to the owner. After multiple excuses, a check was finally mailed back (2 months after I contacted) with almost half of the amount deducted and no paperwork or explanations given. Request for paperwork has been ignored.A martial arts teacher should lead by example of the values s/he wants instill in the students, but this is not the center to do that. I am reporting this center to BBB and will start proceedings to retrieve my money. I thought of sharing this experience, so other are forewarned and forearmed.
