When my son was 4, we learned that he had a delay in fine-motor skills and problems with coordination. He began training at United Tae Kwon Do a year ago. Today his occupational therapist recorded phenomenal progress between assessments in January and August 2007, which she attributes to frequent, intense training at United TKD.

In January he had the bilateral coordination skills of a boy who was 5 years and 5 months. At the end of August, he had the skills of a child who is 7 years and 11 months, according to her standardized assessment. He is 6 years 8 months old! We’ve also seen changes in confidence and resilience in day-to-day life.

Thanks to Mr. Cadiente, Master Douglas and the many black and color belt teachers and students who help and encourage my son. You have given him a tremendous boost. Our family is very grateful.

Dear Master Partridge & Master Douglas,
Just a quick note to say Thanks for making me feel so welcome at your school. It's never easy making changes but I've really enjoyed taking classes and meeting new friends! Your school is truly "Top Notch" and I'm glad to be part of it. Thanks again!!!

Regards,
Sherry Weiss

Dear Master Partridge,

Thank you for being such a great, fun, cool, Master. TKD has been so much fun ever since I was a White Belt + now I'm almost a Black Belt. You don't know how much I talk about you and Master D. at school because you are both so much fun!

Thank you 4 being such a great Master.

Love always, your TKD student,
Rebekah Averett

Master Partridge & Master Douglas,

I went through a lot of behavioral problems with Jordan his first year of school, and his teachers INSISTED that I put him on medicine. I didn't want to go that route with him so a friend recommended your school to me, and I am so very glad I checked into it. It has been one and one half years since I enrolled him, and not only has he made a 200% turn around with his attitude towards school, but also at home. He looks forward to your classes and learning new moves. I can't tell you how grateful I am for all you both (and your team of leaders) have done for my sons confidence level, and for being a positive role model in his life.

From the bottom of my heart....THANK YOU

Sincerely
Jennifer Karels

Dear Master Partridge,

I just wanted to thank you for all the work you are doing with Julia. She is loving your class and gaining not only Tae Kwon Do skills, but probably more importantly, life lessons that will stay with her.

Your support and positively towards her are great. You are an extremely gifted teacher.

I feel like I can truly say that because - although I am a concert pianist - doing only performing and recording now, for 20 years I was a teacher. The last 10 years, as a professor in the music department at Wake Forest . So, I've seen a ton of teachers - in all fields - some good, many bad - for few truly exceptional ones. You, Master Partridge, are one of those! So, we know what an honor it is for Julia to be in your studio. You have a completely natural gift - combine that with your personal talent at Tae Kwon Do and your desire to do some good - and you are truly a master.

Thanks again for all you're doing for Julia. It is a pleasure to watch you work.

Sincerely,
Pam Howland
