Master Phinney is an exceptional instructor. He is well versed in competitive TKD and all it takes to be successful. He is focused on all the core fundamentals and also ensures that the students grow into fantastic human beings that take their TKD character traits out into the world. If you are in his area, don't hesitate to register for classes and programs.

We are so fortunate to have come across Master Phinney, he has been PHENOMENAL with our boys (4 and 7). From the first minute of their first class, Master Phinney earned their respect. He has instilled so much confidence and discipline in both of them. My 7 year old, for his birthday really wanted to have Master Phinney do a class for him and his friends and Master Phinney came through. I can honestly say this party was everything my 7 year old dreamed of and more! The kids were fully engaged in the fun physical fitness activities and then were completely hooked once the Taekwondo class started. The parents stood in awe as a dozen kids ages 4 - 9 were hanging on his every word, it was incredible! The sword to cut the cake was the cherry on top. Thanks for everything you do Master Phinney, we can't wait for your location to open in Bradford.

Master Phinney is an exceptional taekwondo coach and mentor. His leadership and dedication are truly world-class. Under his guidance, my daughter has flourished both as a competitive martial artist and an individual. Beyond taekwondo, he instills invaluable life lessons of respect, perseverance, and sportsmanship. I wholeheartedly endorse Master Phinney and Koi Taekwondo.

Master Phinney was our sons instructor for 4 years and brought him from a white belt beginner all the way to a purple belt. Our son has high functioning autism and Master Phinney has always been kind, very patient, compassionate and communicated amazingly well with us and with our son. We are so grateful to have had him in our lives! We wish him the best of luck in all of his future endeavours!

Want to express appreciation of Master Phinney’s work as a Taekwondo coach. My 10 year old daughter has been in his classes in Master Chu’s studio for 6 months now and we are truly enjoying and cherishing these classes. Always energetic, positive, professional, keeping kids’ focus, respectful towards the kids and teaching them to respect the masters and each other back. There is an undeniable positive energy during the classes, which makes us look forward to them. Thank you, Master Phinney!
