What Powerspeed is
A neighborhood dojang where four-year-olds and a 64-year-old train the same high, fast kicks, one small milestone at a time.
Powerspeed Taekwondo is Master Ron Caaya's school at 5912 Riverdale Avenue. Taekwondo is the heart of it, with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai for ages 13 and up and an after-school program for kids.
The school's own rule for progress: smaller milestones yield greater long term results. Training is matched to each student's level, and belt tests show how far each one has come.
My son has been under Master Ron's tutelage for 3 years. He loves the way he's challenged, the improvements he's made in his confidence, conditioning, power and speed.

What families say
From age 4 to 64
I am 64 years old with an artificial hip, but Master Ron has me mastering kicks I would not have thought possible.
The focus on teaching kids discipline and structure, while having a great time is a perfect balance.
Instructor Ron has helped my son get stronger, more flexible, and more athletic while simultaneously improving his focus and confidence.
My first grader loves going to class and it's having a very positive influence on his school classroom focus.
