Nicholasville Taekwondo Classes

Testimonial from Dr. Ellen

“I have written before on how AKF Lexington has impacted our lives through the changes and growth I have seen in my son. Noah is now a black belt and I am so grateful the experiences and for the opportunities still to come for him. But today, I am writing about the other martial artist in the house. After watching Noah for about a year and dying to get on the mat, I began my journey at AKF two years ago.

I am 53 years old. Like many others my age, I struggle with weight, muscle loss, and decreased flexibility. I have been able to work at my pace, do what I am able, push myself. I am also propelled forward by my excellent teachers and the support of my fellow classmates and their families on the sidelines. This is a home for me. Because of my love of this sport, I am learning to love food in a healthy way and see how it can help my body become stronger and more agile. I have increased my lung capacity and am overcoming a fear of falling. I am more confident in myself and more aware of the world around me.

Today, I saw the greatest benefit of all. I come from a family filled with obesity, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, bone loss, and liver disease. My annual blood results came back and ALL of my levels were normal. They were even improved over last year.

This is the greatest personal gift. What AKF has given my family is just immeasurable.

I am so thankful for you and all this school has offered. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
