Newton's ITF School of Taekwon-do (Markham) - Markham, Ontario

In having the privilege to train with these two World Class Instructors in my younger years, I was extremely excited to finally hear they were opening their 2nd ITF school in Markham. Both my kids (ages 12 and 9) have been enrolled since day 1, I have personally seen a change in their self-confidence, motivation and behavior. Would definitely encourage anyone to participate in a trial and/or visit to see how well their school is being run!

Me and my friends really enjoy going to taekwondo because it is very enjoyable and I have learned lots of skills. It’s also very exciting and competitive.

I have been a student at Newton’s ITF Taekwondo Academy in Markham for the past three and a half years, and it has been an incredible experience. Taekwondo is so much more than just punches, kicks, and fighting—it’s a journey of discipline, resilience, and personal growth, with the added benefits of learning life lessons, self-defense, and gaining a sense of belonging.

As a former dancer and gymnast who transitioned to martial arts, I can confidently say I have no regrets. Thanks to our amazing instructors, Mr. Simmons and Ms. Newton, integrating into martial arts was a smooth and rewarding process. They genuinely care about their students and take the time to get to know each of us personally, making our learning experience much more tailored and effective. Their unwavering support and encouragement push us to exceed our limits because they see the potential in us, even when we don’t see it ourselves.

The academy fosters an incredible sense of community and provides an environment that is warm, welcoming, and inspiring. I have nothing but amazing things to say about Newton’s ITF Taekwondo Academy, and I highly recommend it to anyone considering taking up martial arts. It’s an experience that will challenge and transform you in the best way possible.

I love this Taekwondo and I have been training for 6 years. We learn not just taekwondo but life lessons that will stay with me forever. It is so much fun and you gain so many experiences. This school helps students like me learn courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and imdominal spirit. We also learn respect and displine. We learn so much and have so much fun. Taekwondo is not just a fight, it is an art (marital art) that teaches us self defense and the history of taekwondo. We learn how to be independent and also be colaborative with others. We gain so many friends. Note that this is not just for kids, it could also be for adults! Join! See ya There!!

Mr. Simmons and Ms. Newton are truly one of the best instructors. They give their heart and soul to teaching ITF Taekwon-Do. They put in all their effort to teach their students. Try a class because I bet you will love it. It might be challenging at first if you’re a beginner, but like everything else, you will only get better with practice and dedication. You will also get stronger and fitter! This is what these instructors will give you - classes and training that are worth every penny.

Didn't know what to expect but was very happy with what I saw. Parents, etc. are able to view the practice from another room on screens with multiple views. I loved that since the kids aren't distracted by us sitting in the back of the practice area.

The instructors are world class, respectful with everyone, however, are capable of being firm when needed (with parents and their kids).

The pricing is reasonable, which I expect to be slightly higher but still well affordable once COVID winds down and more people start coming/sending their kids.

The attention to each kid and their overall development (not just speaking about it, but paying attention to behaviour, capabilities and weaknesses) is very admirable.

I wholeheartedly recommend this place unreservedly.
