Hello, my name is Dien Nguyen and I am a 7th Dan and Master Instructor in Taekwondo. My school is affiliated with the Kukkiwon and WTA (World Taekwondo Academy). My school supports good family values and bringing your family is encouraged. We feel that families that participate together stay together. Through participation, students are instilled with good personal values such as respect for elders, respect for parents and respect for teachers as well as the art. We teach our students to work hard to achieve their goals. This allows our students to progress physically, mentally, and socially.
