"I am a mother of 3 boys, all with different personalities. Franklin TKD has been great at bringing out the best in my boys' personalities while working on some of their weaknesses such as confidence and self control. Mr. Smithson is very patient with the children and consistently treats them with respect and encouragement. He also provides additional activities for the children outside of classes such as Parent/Kids' Night Out and his very special Camp Hawkwood which was an absolute HIT with my boys. Franklin TKD has been great for my family and I would recommend it to anyone thinking about joining."

"We are SO thankful that we got involved with Franklin Family Taekwondo last fall.  It is amazing to watch Mr. Smithson work with the children!  He teaches them patience, perseverance, respect, and self-control through his own actions.  He has a very special way with the kids  and meets each one of them right where they are as individuals.  He is gentle, yet evokes in them a desire to be the best they can be. The kids love him!  It has been awesome to watch our son grow in respect, discipline, and confidence!  Highly recommended!"  The Rushlow Family
