I cant say enough wonderful things about Killearn Lakes TaeKwonDo . My son has been a student there for 3 years and we have only had positive experiences and interactions. Every person there enjoys their job and treats every student and parent with kindness, respect, and professionalism. They always go above and beyond for their clients.When the pandemic hit, they immediately put plans into place to continue offering their services safely. As recommendations changed, Killearn Lakes TaeKwonDo rolled with it and made changes smoothly, all while clearly and effectively communicating these changes.Killearn Lakes TaeKwonDo is run by an experienced and professional family that makes you feel like family. Not only did my son gain TaeKwonDo skills, but he also gained confidence, friends, and a strong community. You cant go wrong with this business.
Our child begane she was four years old. She was a shy little girl who had little confidence. Oàver the lfrrrast four years we have watched her grow into a confident young girl. Killearn Lakes TaeKwonDo teaches their students the skills needed to succeed in lífe, not simply martial arts. You also become part of a family who truly care about your child. Our child has truly enjoyed being here and we look forward toany more years here. You cannot go wrong enrolling your child or the entire family (they have programs for all ages). The owners and instructors are highly qualified and know how to make TarKwonDo fun too. So, look no further if you are looking for the best place in Tallahassee!
This is hands-down the absolute best dojo in Tallahassee. Ray, Betty, and Blaine, as well as all the instructors, are second to none.I watched my daughter come in as a beginner and turn into a confident young woman over the last three years. Though she is moving on, I’m so thankful for the discipline, confidence, and self-respect the Markys I have helped instill in her.Affordable and flexible, they treat everyone like family. Your child will love it here!
I have my 2 boys in Taekwondo, and both of them absolutely love it! They are so gracious with the kids and the kids are learning so much. The owners and instructors are so great and make everyone feel welcome. They have worked hard to make sure everyone is safe during the pandemic.
The entire Marky family is caring and dedicated to their business and the people they serve. I wish all businesses were run with as much attention to detail and intentional kindness as Killearn Lakes Taekwondo. My children truly love being there. Betty and Ray go to great efforts to make everyone feel welcome and respected while teaching invaluable life lessons through Taekwondo.
We joined the Killearn Lakes TaeKwonDo family more than a decade ago. Our son was about four or five years old and we wanted to get him into something organized for the camaraderie and to give an another opportunity to socialize (not that he has ever had a problem socializing). Over the next ten years, he really flourished with the Marky family and classmates. I dont think there is a more kind, gracious, lovely small business in all of Florida. The Markys are amazing people that will protect your children, help them to become better people and offer great classes. There is no better option for martial arts and children in the Big Bend. Killearn Lakes TaeKwonDo is perfect and youll make great memories like our family did.
My daughter LOVES attending class at Killearn Lakes Taekwondo. The owners and instructors are amazing and treat you like family. Would 100% recommend Killearn Lakes Taekwondo to anyone looking.
Killearn Lakes Taekwondo is such an amazing place. Our son enjoys the classes and the instructors are phenomenal! Not to mention.... KLT was extremely adaptable when COVID hit. They seamlessly transitioned to virtual classes and virtual one on ones. They even did virtual testing. This place is truly amazing. If you are looking for a place that genuinely cares about your child and the owners and staff are so caring and accommodating, this is the place for you!
We loved everything about our experience with Killearn Lakes Taekwondo! The Markeys are a wonderful family that make everyone instantly feel at home in the studio. All the instructors are kind, enthusiastic and encouraging. Our daughter learned a lot, gained confidence and grew stronger. I hope she’ll return to TKD in the future and if she does, we’ll be back here for sure!
I cannot emphasize enough how highly I recommend Killearn Lakes TaeKwonDo. They take such care with every student and I think the best way to describe the feeling you get there is family. If youre considering going somewhere like this, do yourself a favor and go here.
My two children greatly enjoyed Killearn Lakes TaeKwonDo. I was impressed by how professional, friendly and patient all the instructors were, and that is simply a constant everyday event!
Hello I used to go here I really like it.i would love to join back is there a way we can contact you guys
My child really enjoys attending classes at Killearn Lakes TaeKwonDo. He has gained strength and coordination while learning an art from really good instructors. The school is like a big happy family.
Killearn Lakes has been and is a tremendous blessing to my family. The difference that weve seen in my son the last 6 months is an absolute miracle. Many days I walked in with tears in my eyes, due to the challenges we faced with my son. Not only do they work with the students individually for Taekwondo, but ensure they perform at home and the classroom. My son just earned his Orange belt and is well on his way academically and behaviorally!! The owners Mr. & Mrs. Marky are simply AMAZING! The instructors are no less awesome than the owners! May this business continue to flourish and be a blessing to others. If youre contemplating trying them out, GO AHEAD AND SAY YES!!!
My daughter started on her first day and she was nervous but they didnt force her. They let her participate at are own pace and they didnt charge us until she became comfortable enough to participate. Seriously there was no pressure to make our child jump right in. My daughter loved everything about class. I loved the principles and discipline they instilled....I even borrowed a few to use at home. Its a real family there so they are understanding and compassionate!
Have been apart of the Killearn Lakes Family for 7 months and I love it here! I have lost weight while learning a rewarding skill. I felt like part of the group from day one. Everyone is very encouraging and helpful!
We had an unfortunate event with my service truck catching on fire and the yoga staff and students at Killearn Lakes were so helpful running around trying to find the fire extinguisher (it was comical...now) We were able to get the fire out with minimal damage. Betty called us the next morning to check on us to make sure we were “ok!” We never expected the kindness and generosity that Betty has shown us. Thank you again Betty for being so kind to us in a time of need.
Our son loves being part of the Killearn Lakes TaeKwonDo family! The instructors are all knowledgeable, encouraging, and take the time to give each student the personal attention they need to be successful.
If you are not apart of the KLTKD family, why not? You will not be disappointed! They are simply the best! They welcome you with open arms and big hearts! They have pushed my daughter on her black belt journey and guided her to earn her black belt! ❤️
Could not say enough good things!!! Our family has been so happy here. Our son loves to come to class everyday and the people are just amazing!!! Love our Taekwondo family.
The owners are amazing people and great with kids. Have enjoyed the time they have taught my boys.
Joining this academy was one of the best decisions I ever made. It improved my confidence and mental health and kept me in great shape! The Markys and their instructors are the most caring and incredible family and will do anything to help their students. They will challenge you everyday to make you better Martial Artists!
We love Killearn Lakes Taekwondo! My daughter has been there for about 9 months and is still excited for every class. This is more than an activity, they work to instill manners, confidence, and discipline into these kids, it sort of feels like I have a parenting ally. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. Watching the kids is so much fun that I genuinely enjoy taking her and am disappointed when I cant be there.
Killearn Lakes Taekwondo is phenomenal. Our daughter has been there for several years now and is still going strong! Ray and Betty take the time to get to know each family that comes through the door.
We love Killearn Lakes TaeKwonDo! They have great instructors and customer service. My kids feel comfortable and are enjoying learning and succeeding. In addition, the facility is convenient, has plenty of room and most important, is very clean.
Such a great environment and they are fantastic with all kids of every need! They are patient, wonderful people and my daughter learned so much from their program!
The Markys are an incredible team! They are so welcoming and their academy gives you a wonderful family away from home! Their attention to detail in stance, form, sparring, etc gives you full confidence their training is top notch (and a heck of a lot of fun)!!
Such a variety of work out options. I used to take Martial arts here, and I came back to the same family atmosphere and even tried out a jazzercise class, which was great (and definitely a workout, everything hurt the next day)
We could not be more pleased with Killearn Lakes TaeKwonDo. Our son began in the Little Ninja program and graduated into the Junior program. The Markys and the instructors are really great with the kids, and their curriculum is holistic in the teaching of martial arts, confidence, and good character.
KLTKD was extremely welcoming and the classes were very informative and fun. The Markys are also incredibly kind. Its a great program and Im glad I was there for the last six years!
Our family’s second home! We love the instructors, Mr. Marky knows every child’s name and Mrs. Betty knows all the parents’ names. We’ve made so many friends and my son has really grown through TKD. Couldn’t ask for a better environment!
My kids loved this place from day one. Mr. Markey is SO good with kids. He, and all the staff, make you feel welcome from day 1. I wish we could fit more lessons into our week!
We absolutely love everything about Killearn Lakes Taekwondo. Their facility is extremely clean and well kept. Their entire staff is friendly, enthusiastic, and treats you like you are part of their family. My son has grown more over the course of a year than we ever could have imagined. He’s become much more coordinated and physically fit, and most importantly he’s learned vital life skills that may save his life one day. Enrolling our son at Killearn Lakes Taekwondo is the best decision we have ever made.
Killearn Lakes TaeKwonDo is a great Martial Arts academy. The Markys and their instructors truly care about each and every student. They have created a family atmosphere where everyone belongs and is made to feel comfortable regardless of their fitness level. They teach and live the tenants of TaeKwonDo striving to create a better community. We love KLTKD and all of the instructors!
The owners are phenomenal! My son LOVED his birthday party and so did all of his friends. Highly recommend!!
KLTKD is simply awesome. Their instructors are very caring and really do a great job with the kids. Highly recommend them.
It has a great family atmosphere and they go out of their way to make you feel welcome. My son loves the Little Ninja program at Killearn Lakes TaeKwonDo!
Wonderful people who truly care about everyone involved. Great instruction in a very nice environment.
We absolutely loved our time at Killearn Lakes Tae Kwon Do and only stopped going because we moved away from Tallahassee. The Marky’s and the other instructors and staff are kind and make you feel like part of the family. Our son sometimes struggles with focus and his time at KLTKD really helped him learn self control. We will miss everyone at KLTKD.
We Love Killearn Lakes TaeKwonDo! It teaches the students valuable lessons and tenants for life!
Our son loves Killearn Lakes Taekwondo! The instructors are amazing and take the time necessary to make sure that all of their students really know what they are doing. We consider Killearn Lakes Taekwondo our second family. We are so grateful we found KLTKD!!
We were in between karate tournaments and visiting with family in Tallahassee. We came into Killearn Lakes Taekwondo to see if we could rent some practice space for my son. Betty and Blaine were the kindest people and so welcoming. They got Aiden into a studio within minutes. Their facility is amazing. It is very clean, cool temp, and smells great and you dont always get with taekwondo or karate facilities. As strangers in a different city we were offered kindness and a great facility. I would highly recommend Killearn Lakes Taekwondo!!!
Great stuff, very friendly and the kids love it here.
I have been fortunate enough to know Killearn Lakes Tae Kwon Do for over 10 years now. They have been absolutely invaluable business partners to Hawks Rise Elementary School, Deerlake Middle School and Chiles High School. The Marky family that runs it is so generous and always gives back to the community. They run the facility with an open door and an open heart. They have attended events and provided financial support to all three of these schools. Each time they attend, they bring a smile and a warm, friendly feeling. I would HIGHLY recommend Killearn Lakes TaeKwonDo for any child or adult to attend. They will not only be taught skills, but will be taught how to be good stewards in the community by the example set by this incredible family.
My son was a part of this TaeKwonDo family for 4 years. We had a wonderful experience and the owners and staff are absolutely amazing.
I am so thankful to KLTKD and The Markys. KLTKD provides an outstanding and intense workout for students to learn the tenants of Taekwondo while providing a place that the kids can call a second home. I watched my kids grow in confidence from Tiger Cubs to Black Belts and know they would not be the leaders they are today without the guidance of KLTKD and the Markys. Thank you.
Amazing program! The instructors are great with the children and fully devoted to their development.
Intelligent, smart and loving owners and staff.
