We are extremely grateful for the existence of this school. Our son attends classes with pleasure. And we enthusiastically observe his achievements. Mr. Tegler teaches him not only the basics of taekwondo, but also to be patient and confident to go to the goal. Ideal place for children of all ages
Teresa Filban
Akula Taekwondo is a great place to learn respect, discipline, honor, humility and to focus. Master Tegler is a kind and patient teacher while building self-confidence, character, and skill in students through mental and physical discipline. His students respect and look up to him. My grandson has gained so much confidence in the 10 months he has been attending. His personality was very shy and insecure, but now he has grown into a very self confident 6 year old. We are so proud of the hard work he has put in (wanting to go everyday!) We look forward to seeing him continue to grow mentally and physically over the years time come.

We love Akula Taekwondo!! We have been going consistently over the past few months and I have a seen a positive change in my child. Akula has taught my son discipline, focus, respect, and of course Taekwondo! All of the instructors have been fantastic in their teachings and the look on my son’s face when he receives a stripe or new belt is priceless! I highly recommend Akula Taekwondo as a great extracurricular activity for any child!

We’re very happy we found this Akula taekwondo class! Mr. Tegler runs the sessions in a great way — they start with fun physical activities and everything is well organized. The kids are respectful and well disciplined during class, which we really appreciate as parents. Most importantly, our son loves going and always looks forward to it.
Shashi Adapa
My Son and my Daughter have been attending the classes at Akula from last One year, they hardly missed a class and they don’t want to miss any. Akula has classes for all age groups and especially the younger ones are so excited and happy to be in the class. Mr. Tegler is an excellent instructor and is very humble; all kids love him and respect him. I Highly Recommend!
