★★★★★Mary LintonMy son has attended Empower Taekwondo for 15 months now and the amount of physical, mental, and emotional growth he has experienced is phenomenal. Master Hama is an amazing instructor. He treats his students with care and respect all while expecting the most out of them. The rest of the Empower staff is wonderful as well. Empower isn’t just a Taekwondo school, it is a family. I cannot recommend this dojang enough.
★★★★★Emily BartlettEmpower Taekwondo has been a place of growth, encouragement and achievement for our daughter. Over the past year we have seen her confidence ascend to new heights and she’s now finding joy in coaching younger students and me (her mom). Madison has gone from a shy, quiet child to a strong, confident young lady who has competed and medaled in both state and national tournaments this year. We are loving the empower one, empower all culture.
★★★★★Elizabeth PaleyMy 5-year-old son loves Master Hama and everyone at Empower TKD. My background is in early intervention and I have worked with 100’s of teachers/children. What Master Hama accomplishes with his students is amazing in my eyes. He can take a group of 3-5 year olds and they listen, follow directions, pay attention and develop amazing skills. I’ve never seen anything like it! Master Hama gives them 100% and they return it to him. His older students are amazing assistants, developing teaching skills, and patience / kindness to the littles through their assisting roles. It’s an amazing family of kindness, respect, and world-class training at Empower TKD with Master Hama. Try their free class and see for yourself!
★★★★★Amy CopleyIn 18 months at Empower my daughter has grown not just in strength & martial arts skill, but in maturity, respect for herself and others, leadership, acknowledgment of the value of all living beings, and an understanding of the relationship between sports, school, and family. Master Hama clearly cares deeply for these kids and provides nurturing stability while pushing them to be their best as athletes and human beings. We love the Empower camps held during summer & school breaks, as well as after school programs in addition to regular classes.
★★★★★Matt IpockMaster Hama has put together a World Class Taekwondo program at Empower Taekwondo. It's not just his experience in Taekwondo that makes this an amazing program, but also his dedication and skills in working with learners of all ages. I am particularly happy with the emotional growth and support my two sons gain through their training. We are fortunate to have such a high class program right here in New Bern.
