My son has been taking Tae Kwon Do with Grand Master Fanelli for the last two months and we have been so impressed with the incredible growth we have seen in him. He has just tested from white to yellow belt and is having so much fun! My son is 5 1/2 and can be a bit shy, especially in large group sports settings, but he looks forward to going to TKD. He goes 3 times per week.
Grand Master Fanelli has done such a wonderful job helping him build confidence in a way that is comfortable for him. At the beginning of his TKD journey, he would never be the one to raise his hand to lead a punch or kick examples, and now he’s confidently doing so. We are seeing this confidence build outside of TKD as welll.
Grand Master Fanelli has an intentional, thoughtful, and impactful approach to reaching and building each child’s physical, mental, and emotional strengths. He is the perfect balance of what it means to be serious, focused, disciplined, and hard working yet super fun, engaging, and surprisingly silly! He has a commendable whole body/mind growth approach to his teaching and we’ve seen such great modeling behavior in our son in and outside the studio.
Grand Master Fanelli is so passionate about his craft and you can tell he genuinely wants to not only make a positive impact on the kids, but for them to go out and make a positive impact in their own lives.
Grand Master Fanelli has exceptional command of large classes, but somehow magically manages to ensure time is spent with individual children. He is incredibly organized, there’s a clear process to how his super clean and orderly studio is run, and the kids all follow suit. It is also awesome that he gives mentoring/coaching opportunities to some of the bigger kids by allowing them to come to younger classes to help out.
We are so happy we found All Pro TKD and look forward to many more years with Grand Master Fanelli. Wish I had more than 5 stars to give!
