  • Discipline Vs. Punishment

    Good behavior is a learning process for children, and we are their road map. Children usually behave per their own emotions and impulses. At the same time, being a parent is also a learning process and sometimes we rely on our own emotions and impulses to teach.

Indomitable spirit describes our experience with Peck's TaeKwonDo America.  Julee Peck has kept her school working for her students, their families & our community during this challenging time. Our 12 yo recently earned his First Degree Probationary rank. Having physical exercise, learning new skills and community have been a life line for him. Mrs. Peck is very observant and responsive to the needs of everyone (students, parents & instructors). We highly recommend Peck's TKD America.

I really can’t say enough good things about Peck’s TKD. They did a great job before the pandemic, but throughout COVID they’ve been particularly amazing- safe in their practices, innovative in engaging students in whatever way families are most comfortable with. Julee Peck’s school feels like a family and a community. Master Peck has also gone above and beyond to make sure the kids are prepared, reaching out to figure out extra sessions when my kids needed it recently. Check them out. You won’t regret it.
