Authentic Tae Kwon DO
There are a lot of martial arts schools to choose from, but they are not all created equally. Anyone can teach the skills, but HOW they teach them separates the best from the herd. I have been a student at Authentic as well as a parent of a high-performance athlete for ten years. And the things I have witnessed that keep me recommending this school are far too numerous to name.

Let's do it again! Did you know that Anne Marie held a black belt in #Taekwondo?. Taekwondo is more than a martial art or a #sport. Taekwondo is a way of life. Anne Marie learned many lessons in "self-control", "perserverance", "integrity", "courtesy", "indomitable fighting spirit", as a result of her training and experience in Taekwondo and grew to be the woman the world knew her to be.

I like Authentic Taekwondo because it has taught me to defend my self if I ever needed to. This dojang motivated me to become a black belt and to keep going. This is my favourite place to be at and anyone that comes will feel the same!

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!

As someone who has made it through all the different belts up to black belt, I can tell you that this is a great place to learn Taekwondo, as the masters and leaders are responsive and are very nice to all students. They are also effective at doing their job, along with the junior leaders, which I am one of. Overall, if anyone wants to learn Taekwondo, I would most certainly recommend Authentic Taekwondo.

A little over 2 months I have met Master Farah for private lessons in kickboxing. Since that day, I’ve been training with him twice a week and it has been incredible!!!! Very skilled in his profession with a great demeanour. The adequate amount of toughness makes the program both fun and challenging to perform. Thus, he pushes you beyond what you believed were your limits but also understanding your capabilities. He goes above and beyond making sure you achieve your goals, making the program tailored to your expectations. His accurate feedback, honesty and positive encouragement have helped improve

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.

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!

My family associated with Authentic Taekwondo a couple of months back, when I was trying to find an activity for my 5 year old son, in the challenging times of the pandemic.
I was pleasantly surprised by this institution, Master Farah and the other young, incredible mentors.
The Virtual program offered by Master Farah is very engaging and holds the interest of my son even in the distant learning mode.
Master Farah provides a wonderful environment in the class. He challenges and encourages his students to be their better selves. He not only focuses on physical training but emphasizes on the mental
