It is with mixed emotions that we share this difficult news with you. After 40 years of serving our wonderful community, we have made the tough decision to close the doors of our Taekwondo school due to ongoing financial hardships. This decision was not made lightly, and it comes after much reflection and careful consideration.
Over the years, we have had the honor of watching our students grow, both in their martial arts abilities and as individuals. We are incredibly proud of the achievements and progress made by all of you—whether you’ve earned your black belt or are just starting your journey. It has been a privilege to be part of your lives, and we are deeply grateful for your trust, support, and commitment to our Taekwondo family.
While this chapter is ending, the memories, lessons, and friendships we’ve all shared will stay with us forever. We want to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to each of you. The smiles, hard work, dedication, and sense of community have meant the world to us. We will cherish these moments and carry them with us into the future.
We are working diligently to ensure a smooth transition and will provide information on any remaining classes, events, and other important details in the coming weeks.
Thank you again for allowing us to be a part of your Taekwondo journey. Though our physical doors may close, the spirit of Taekwondo and the bond we’ve shared will continue to live on in each of you.
With deepest gratitude and respect,
Master Ray Rodriguez and Staff

Reviews
" We began our journey at Ray's Taekwondo with their After School Program....and have kept coming back for more! Within 6 months both my children were taking classes regularly and now my mother and myself will be fully committed to Ray's!!! This is a true family experience - a great way to learn the art of taekwondo in a positive setting and very family friendly. I would highly recommend this staple in the community to all!!! "
" My son has been with Ray's since kindergarten, both in after school program and Tae Kwon Doe classes, he is now in 3rd grade and a red belt. He just started playing baseball and I believe his agility, focus, coordination, discipline, which make him an above average baseball player, all came from practicing self-defense from an early age at Ray's. Exceptional family run organization, great people. I highly recommend them!"
" At Ray's there's always Safety, Order, Respect and Kindness. The kids learn life skills and how to exercise good judgement in a positive environment. The kids are supervised by a caring and attentive staff. They also have a BLAST! "
" Both my boys have been attending Ray's TKD Center for a little over a year now. I am so very pleased with how much my boys have learned and matured thanks to Ray's fun, creative, and disciplined way of teaching. We have tried TKD at other centers and there is no comparison. The fact that my boys don't want to miss class and "eat, breathe, and sleep" Martial Arts means that Ray's has made a positive impact that will forever stay with them. My only regret is not having started here earlier. Thank you Ray for your dedication and love for what you do. It definitely is reflected in your students! "
