    Perfection on all levels is just the way to describe our experience with authentic taekwondo. Master Farah and his team are very professional, skilled, compassionate, supportive, and pay attention to each kid and their needs. My son really loves him. We have had experience both in person and online, and I was pleasantly surprised with online trainings. My son's skills developed in quite a short time and with great technique. Master Farah does not only teach the physical skills, but he also focuses on building strong, respectful, disciplined, and responsible kids.

    I have been training at Authentic Taekwondo for about 5 years, it has helped me change myself and my life. Before I came to Authentic Taekwondo I was not very fit and I was a shy person. But, I was able to change myself by becoming fitter, build more confidence and overcome my fears. I am really glad I did my training at Authentic Taekwondo. Everyone at Authentic Taekwondo is friendly, kind and encouraging, I also got to meet so many new people and make many new friends. Thank you to Master Farah and all the other Masters, Instructors and Junior Leaders for helping me come a long way to where I am today as a black belt!!!

    The #1 training center in Toronto! Authentic Taekwondo has taught me how to be a leader, made me tough, and made me stronger. The Masters and Instructors are incredible and are all super excited to guide kids to getting their black belt and even provincial competitions. I absolutely loved training in Taekwondo here and will continue for years to come. Authentic Taekwondo not only offers Taekwondo training but also excellent kickboxing, yoga, and one-on-one training. If you are looking for a place to build confidence and strength and have loads of fun, Authentic is the place for you!

    My children started at Authentic Taekwondo in October of 2021 and we have been very impressed with how much are children enjoy these classes! It really has made a difference to their confidence and I really admire how well tuned Master Farah is with the children in building their self esteem and confidence, showing respect, being grateful, encouraging good mindset. Basically everything we try to teach them but coming from someone else, other then their parents, who they respect makes a big difference! A very flexible schedule with easy sign up makes a big difference in our ever changing landscape. We were also very impressed with the virtual lessons and how they are run to be very inclusive whether you are at home or in the studio. In terms of technique, we see our children improving their skills with every class and they always look forward to the next color belt tests!! Thank you Authentic Taekwondo for giving our kids a place to grow and train!

    Our son has been a student at Authentic Taekwondo for about 3 months now, and he has made great strides since joining thanks to Master Farah and the other leaders there! He enjoys going to classes and practicing at home. It's been a great way for him to stay physically active, and Master Farah also does a good job of helping the kids build their confidence, as well as learn other valuable life skills (respect, discipline, patience, etc.) We appreciate that Master Farah is firm but also kind, which is a good approach for teaching younger kids like our son. The flexibility of online booking of classes, as well as the variety of days and times available also makes it convenient and easier for our schedule.

    Master Farah is one of the best Taekwondo teachers in Toronto! He is so accommodating and understanding apart from being professional. He genuinely cares about each of his students and provides sincere feedback for improvement. My son has improved greatly not just in taekwondo skills but also developed his personality in a more positive way. Thank you master Farah for your dedication! I was so impressed by my son’s progress that I have also joined the program. I would highly recommend Authentic Taekwondo for your kids or for yourself!

    I've been part of Master Farah's classes several times. His authenticity, passion for development of his students and technical expertise shine through every time. I leave each session feeling energized, refreshed and focused on my core values in life, even though I've exerted myself physically! I highly recommend Authentic Taekwondo and Master Farah to up your physical and mental fitness, for both personal and professional growth!

    Master Farah and the instructors are the best and so motivative. I feel safe in their space, and the classes are so fun. Every day, I am learning new taekwondo skills and improving them. Now, I know how to defend myself. This institute is the best in the town! Thank you Master Farah and team! - R. Rishikesh

    The best martial arts gym in Canada! they have by far the best methods for kids to gain their self-confidence, build discipline, and learn the value of hard work. Master Farah, the best martial arts instructor will not only teach taekwondo but many things that they can apply in their lives as they grow older.

    I absolutely love Authentic Taekwondo. The way they motivate the kids in such a positive environment is second to none. I’m impressed by the quality of the coaching, their attention to detail and how organized the school is. Booking classes is super easy using the Zen app and their staff is always ready to help. I highly recommend Authentic Taekwondo.

    Our two kids have been attending Authentic Taekwondo for a year now and we are extremely pleased with their progress. We are greatly thankful to the instructors and master Farah for being such outstanding individuals. Their respect towards every single parent and student is greatly appreciated. Kids don't just train here, they become a better person in many aspects of life. Thank you for being so dedicated and thank you for your guidance in our children’s martial art’s journey.

    I've tried getting my kids to be active and engaged in different activities. They've done hockey, baseball, volleyball, soccer, biking, skiing, snowboarding, and on and on. Nothing really stuck with them though. I admit, a lot of it is likely their own personality and character. But I firmly believe that Master Farah and the instructors at Authentic TKD are a big reason why my kids are really into TKD. My kids have been going to Authentic for almost a year and a half. In the beginning, they were only mildly interested in trying, while also slightly apprehensive at the thought of doing a martial art. Since then, both my kids have gained so much confidence in themselves while also getting stronger physically. Master Farrah encourages all the kids so much, showing tough love when needed. I'm especially amazed with how Master Farah remembers the names of every student with so many classes, days, and infrequent attendance. It shows how much he really cares for the students. My kids are now committed to getting their black belt and beyond. I can't wait to see how far they grow as people and TKD practitioners. Thank you Master Farah and Authentic for being a safe and amazing place for our kids to grow!

    Authentic taekwondo is a fun place...never too old to start, too young to be a leader, too weak to spar nor too boring to repeat the same drills. If you preserve through all the challenges you would love this place, to make it to the end there's always more to learn. A quote in our dojo says " A black belt is a white belt who refused to quit " Team spirit is inherited from highest belt to beginner. You learn then you teach each other in the same place. We become friends then family in this club. We both working hard on the journey to black belt and beyond. The most important is we have a great master, Master Farah who keeps encouraging us to persevere, stand up after we fall down, get stuck, or feel disappointed. In our dojo we learn not only kicking and punching we learn self defense, boxing and patterns that are made of different blocks, kicks and stances as well as some punches that can be used in fights. Once you learn you can also go to tournaments to improve your skills and gain some experience even if you don't win. It may seem scary, but that's how I grow strong and better! Authentic Taekwondo is a place that you don't want to miss it, you will never regret after you commit yourself. Highly recommended this club to all parents!

    My kids enjoy their time at Authentic Taekwondo- they are always motivated by Master Farah and other instructors. Schedule is flexible, fair price and a great place for kids to enjoy and grow strong mentally and emotionally.

    My daughter enjoyed her time at authentic taekwondo. Sadly we had to move from Markham otherwise we would have continued sending her here. Master Farah & all other teachers are very dedicated & motivating. They made my 6yr old very comfortable. She would look forward to go to class everyday!

    I am so thankful for all the wonderful teachers especially Master Farah for their guidance and support as my son goes through the Taekwondo program. I appreciate their nurture and patience as I see my son build up more confidence as he develops towards his black belt. Thanks for everything!

    When I started practicing Taekwondo, I needed to exercise myself to lose weight. I was weighting 115Kg/255lb and wanted to get healthier. Master Farah and his team were incredibly welcoming. They helped me improve my resistance and gradually my weight dropped. In 9 months I burned 18kg/40lb and it's still dropping. My daughter joined the Children class and loves it! And now I have way more energy to do anything. The Dojang is amazing! I highly recommend it, despite age and weight.

    My wife and I signed up our 3 year old son for Taekwondo. Our goal was for him to participate, have fun and learn as much as he can. We were amazed and impressed with the life skills being taught through Taekwondo: listening; following instructions; waiting your turn; sharing space and working with others; having control of their mind, body and emotions, working towards goals, practicing and working hard to earn their belts and most importantly, having fun! Authentic Taekwondo provided a warm and inviting environment, the attention and care Master Farah and his leaders provide to the students, especially younger students is what makes them stand out. My son was very shy the first class and wanted to go home. We sat and watched the rest of the class and came back early the next day to watch the earlier class to get warmed up. Class ended, Master Farah was on break before my son's class starts. Master Farah used his break time to sit with my son, have a one to one chat and from that conversation onwards, my son became a big fan of Master Farah and participated in every class after. He was so happy to get his first belt because he earned it. Thank you Authentic Taekwondo for teaching more than steps and movement, they are teaching life skills to people of all ages. The picture of Master Farah sitting and having a life chat with my 3 year old shy little boy is the picture I show my son every time he feels shy and needs a confidence boost.

    We very much enjoy attending Authentic Taekwondo. Master Farrah is a fabulous teacher and the team is great at coaching and encouraging the students. Our child has been going at a young age. It has been exciting seeing our child grow in the skill sets, and developing leadership skills and perseverance. Thank you, Authentic Taekwondo!

    When we came for our trial class, we could feel Master Farah's passion and dedication for teaching Taekwondo. Both my kids (at that time 3 and 5 years old) loved his class and we signed up our kids. It been a year now and we are fully satisfy by the quality of the classes, the instructors, the atmosphere....I would highly recommend Authentic Taekwondo.
