North Valley Tae Kwon Do, Sparks

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
We are a traditional tae-kwon-do school. Master David Walker is at 4th Dan Kukkiwon certified. We have been coaching kids at high-level competitions.

What's one tip for first-time students that will make them feel like veterans?
This is a fun environment. Even Master Walker had a first day in a martial-arts school. We are confident that we can put your mind at ease and give you the confidence that you can do this. We treat all students with positive encouragement.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
Martial arts have always been a big part of my life. Having two kids of my own and seeing how tae kwon do gave them confidence and discipline to become leaders in the classroom gave me the passion to start my own martial-arts business to do the same for others.

What do you love most about your job?
Watching kids mature as martial artists is a small part of it. Seeing kids become friends that would never have known each other happens here at North Valley TKD. Building a strong community where students are held to a high standard in a positive, encouraging environment.
