The Martial Arts developed in Asia over 5,000 years ago, which then developed and evolved into something beautiful, harmonious and powerful. Over the last few years, however, a cloud has come over this original beauty: cage fighting, blood soaked video arcade games and point obsessed trophy-tournaments, too many people are losing sight of the original vision. My hope is that I can help the student understand the true meaning of Martial Arts...Mr. Smith

“Mr. Smith is the real deal; My Daughter and I have recently started training with him and he is great. He is very patient and it is apparent how much he loves to teach his students. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wishes to learn the martial arts if they have never done so. If you have train previously he also would be a great instructor to start training again”

"After searching out several studios in our area we found the one that we liked best. Mr. Smith had recently opened up his studio. We enrolled our 4-year old son in May 2018, since then we have seen him grow in many positive ways. Mr. Smith emphasizes Discipline, Respect and Physical conditioning while still balancing it all with fun. We've been able to meet and bond with other like-minded families. Recently we joined as a family and found it very rewarding. We consider Mr. Smith to be an excellent role model and mentor to our son as well as to the other students. We would highly recommend anyone considering martial arts or just a disciplined regimen that instills confidence to check out Smith TKD studio.

"Mr. Smith's Taekwondo is a very special place for kids and adults to learn taekwondo in the Simi/Thousand Oaks/Moorpark area. Our daughter has developed amazing skills in a very short time and is always excited to go to her trianing! Mr. Smith and his wife are dedicated to outstanding teaching and provide wonderful encouragement to kids to develop leadership skills and that winning spirit! Highly recommend!

My 9-year-old son has been learning taekwondo from Mr. Smith for 4-month's now and he absolutely loves it. As parents, my wife and I are happy to see him persue excellence in something but we mostly appreciate the charactor building life lessons Mr. Smith teaches.
