Our Student's Experiences

Martial Art has been such a guiding force for our family! Besides the obvious exercise, our son and daughter are learning leadership skills, healthy eating habits, support for each other – all while being exposed to different cultures. We are thrilled our family is a part of the stellar TWE community…and that an activity my husband and I began together before we had children is now a family activity!
