Master Thorton is not only highly skilled but also patient and encouraging with the kids. The seniors in the competition class are also supportive and create a welcoming environment. We’ve seen great improvement in our children’s confidence and skills, and we highly recommend Vortex Taekwondo school!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I do think that Vortex Tae Kwon Do has done amazing things for my son’s confidence and personal development. I don’t expect that we will be changing tae kwon do studios now or maybe even ever. I believe that the instructors contribute greatly with their knowledge and support. My sons has so much respect and admiration for all his instructors and feels especially connected to specific instructors for different reasons. While each instructor has their own strengths during their one on one time with my kids. It’s fun and exciting for me as his parent to sit back and watch, while he enjoys the Tae Kwon Do experience.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I know this place for over 20 yrs. The instructors are very motivated and encouraging with all ages of kids. They understand the balance of having fun but being discipline. They know how to connect with kids. I can see the difference in my kids self esteem, confidence, respect, discipline and listening skills since join Vortex Taekwondo. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! Best taekwondo institute and best instructors in my opinion. 🏆 🏆Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our three kids have been training at Vortex Taekwondo for the past year and a half, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! Before enrolling, we did an extensive search across Surrey — visiting and meeting with masters at over six different schools — and Vortex stood out by a mile. What makes Vortex Taekwondo exceptional is their true commitment to competition and discipline, something we found lacking at many other schools. Master Daniel, an Olympian coach, brings world-class experience and genuine passion to every class. We are confident that under his guidance, our kids have a real path toward reaching the Olympics — something no other school in the Lower Mainland could offer. The facility itself is bright, spacious, and very clean — one of the best set ups we’ve seen — with a comfortable viewing area where parents can watch the classes through large windows. It’s clear that every detail here is designed with both the students and families in mind. Most importantly, the instructors at Vortex genuinely care about their students and are deeply invested in their success. They recognize the unique potential in every child and work with dedication and heart to help them reach it. Our kids have gained strength, discipline, confidence, and pride — lessons that will stay with them both on and off the mats for years to come. We are beyond grateful to have found Vortex Taekwondo. If you’re looking for a place where your child will be challenged, supported, and truly believed in, this is it.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter loves this place! Great studio for training. Coaches and instructors are very amiable and experienced. An amazing bit, an Olympic athlete came from this school! Probably best Martial arts school I've seen, instant 5 stars.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you’re looking for a place where your kids can burn off energy, learn discipline and get some seriously cool moves under their belt, Vortex Taekwondo is it. Both my kids go here and absolutely love it and honestly, so do we! Master Daniel, Jeff, and Shane are fantastic (and somehow manage to stay patient even when the kids are in full chaos mode). The other instructors who step in when needed are equally awesome. Vortex strikes the perfect balance between fun and focus. It’s not just about kicking and punching but more about respect, hard work, and building confidence. Highly recommend it… unless you enjoy your kids bouncing off the walls at home instead. Then maybe don’t.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing place to excel at Takewando! We appreciate the Masters and junior instructors. We’ve been with Vortex for nearly four years and both my children love training here.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional, friendly communication. Teaching kids in fun environment. My son doesn't want to miss a day of his class.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vortex Taekwondo has been an amazing experience for my daughters and our family. Both of my daughters had the chance to train with instructors and other kids there—one for 8 years and the other for 4 years—and we couldn’t be happier with the decision. The instructors are not only skilled but also incredibly friendly and supportive. They really take the time to teach each student at their own pace and make sure each kid is comfortable with what their doing, while still making progress. Both girls made so many great friends during their time there, and we met a lot of wonderful families. The Christmas parties they host every December are always the highlight of the year which is a really fun way to celebrate and connect with others. My daughter also loved the camps, where she had the chance to learn new skills and meet even more amazing people. Vortex Taekwondo has been a fantastic part of our lives, and we are so grateful for the amazing environment and friendships it created.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Vortex Taekwondo to anyone looking for a high-quality taekwondo program. Master Thorton and master Shane are extremely professional, patient, and skilled at working with kids. The classes are well-structured, focusing on discipline, respect, and technique, while still being fun and engaging. My daughter’s confidence and focus—both in and out of class—have noticeably improved. The facility is well-maintained, with plenty of seating for parents and good communication from staff regarding schedules, events, and closures. It’s been a great journey so far, and we’re excited for what’s aheadVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
