Reviews of Taekwondo 2 XCELL - Durham

I've studied at this dojang for over 15 years! It's a wonderful school with even greater instructors. The master of the school and her staff are trained to work with special needs students and children with learning disabilities. My parents enrolled me as a child to work on my ADHD and to learn discipline with my studies. I am presently a college student and I still train under Master Gordon. I even traveled and trained in South Korea with her and staff in November 2014. It was an experience that I'll never forget! I learned so much about Korean culture and Taekwondo.

My grandson has studied under Master Gordon for over 15 years and has traveled and trained in South Korea with her and trained in Seattle with Grandmaster Leon Preston. He is currently a student at this fine school and a long time classmate of Master Caleb Bell, and Instructors Edmond Bailey, Ansel Bailey, William Adams, and Josh Farmer. The instruction at this school is first rate and the masters/instructors work closely with each student to make sure that they fully understand Taekwondo and the components that are affiliated with it. The master/instructors are serious about students taekwondo education as well as academic education and offer life skills workshops, free tutorial and help students enroll in college. Higher education is very important to this school.
