Dear Mr. Lewis,
You'll never know how much you helped Greg's self esteem by awarding him a stripe Wednesday
night. He was so excited that he had to call his mother and both grandmothers from the car. I had a
hard time getting him to go to bed that night; he kept going to the closet to look at his belt. Then he
wanted to take it to school the next morning to show his teacher.
Greg has had a pretty rough time, and he really needed something to boost his confidence and
self-esteem. Greg didn't start talking until he was 4 years old, and had been incorrectly diagnosed as
autistic and retarded. We had him tested at Vanderbilt, and they told us that he was not autistic, and
was very intelligent. They told us that he had a language delay just like Albert Einstein and several
other successful people. They said that the part of the brain that processes language was slow to
develop in these individuals, but predicted that he would catch up with his peers by the 4th or 5th
grade.
Greg's language skills have progressed a lot, but he realizes that he is behind other children his age,
and his confidence has been very low. He really loves the tae kwon do classes (that's about all he
talks about), and now says he has to work extra hard to get more stripes and a yellow belt. Thank
you very much for your patience with Greg, I know he is not an easy student to teach right now, but
you have been great with him. If I can ever be of service to you in any way please let me know.
Very truly yours,
Roy

himself, I see so many changes in him since he has
started. Thank you so much for your
encouragement and patience.

Mr. Lewis,
Thank you for your concern and all your kind words. You can’t
imagine
How much dickson Taekwondo means to me. It is the only stress relief
And break from work I get. I work from the time I get up in the morning
until I get blurry eyed at night, EVERY DAY. Taekwondo is the only
Thing I make myself break for and this past year I have felt better
Than I have in ten years. I am in better health than I have
Been in years also. We are grateful every day for your guidance and
Friendship and intend to be around a long time.
Thank you again,
Johnny

Casey, my strong willed nine year old, refused to use good
manners when addressing adults, including me. In just one week
of attending classes at Dickson Taekwondo, she has started using
"yes mam" and "no mam"!
Thanks dickson Taekwondo!!

We VERY MUCH appreciate you and your work with Aaron. We have compliments all the time
about how well behaved he is and how "tough" he is. We tell everyone that most of it comes from him
taking Taekwondo. We HIGHLY recommend your school to everyone and tell them it is definitely a
better alternative than daycare. Because he is actually be taught things instead of sitting in a gym
playing with older kids and learning things that we don't want him to know at his age! Any time we
get a chance to put your name and the school out there we do!!!! We really think highly of you and
everyone on staff and have had nothing but good reports and high praise from Aaron. He really cares
about all of you and talks about you and Ms. Tonya(we go to church with her) a lot. So I just wanted
to say GREAT JOB and we really do appreciate what you have done with Aaron. We've seen such
an improvement that we want to keep him in your school year round. Aaron is very passionate about
Taekwondo and it's the first thing we've seen him actually enjoy and get totally involved in. He even
told us that when he "grows up" he wants to open his own school and be a teacher like you. His dad
and I have told him that if he puts his whole heart in this and keeps up with it as he becomes older,
then if he still wanted to open his own school, we would try and help him all we could. I said all that
to let you know that you have had a HUGE impact on Aaron's life and I wanted you to know how
thankful and appreciative we are for that and for you! God Bless you and your family.

Mr. Lewis,
I want you to know that Rayne enjoyed Taekwondo and enjoyed you being her teacher. I am
thankful for what your class has done for her in such a short time & want you to know that I tell
everyone how much we all liked you and your class! I also want to add that Tonya is such a
wonderful employee, as I am sure you know! She is such a sweetie & I watched her make everyone
feel welcome there, which is so important. I can't say enough good about our experience there.
Take Care, Dawn Klooster

Dear Mr. Lewis and staff of Dickson Taekwondo,
Words can not express our gratitude for what you meant to our son this past year, as well as
the lasting impact your program and your Christian example has had on his life.
He has gained physically in balance, coordination and strength. Mathew has become better
able to control his behavior and his confidence has taken wings.
But most impressive has been his awareness of how the Christian faith is something that
affects ALL that we do and say. In the lives of Luke and Mr. Lewis he has seen Godley men
not just talking the walk but, with integrity, walking the walk. Thank you for your witness!
Please pray for Mat's healing from epilepsy if it be God's will. He wants so badly to continue
TKD in the future.
With thanks,
Ron & Maryanne Schoenbaum

To the Staff at Dickson Taekwondo,
We would like to take a moment and say Thank You for making Chandler’s second experience
with Taekwondo such a wonderful one. Our first experience with Taekwondo was not a good
one and we are thankful for the things we have experienced at your school.
Chandler loves the class!! He can hardly wait until it is Monday again so that he can go back.
We are blessed to have him there. He has already learned the meaning or the definition for
Taekwondo, White Belt and several others. We are amazed! We as parents are excited to see
what he is going to learn and do next.
Thank you again for the major impact it has made in our son’s life in a short time and what he will
be learning in the future.

What a great day for Dickson!! Every time I turned around I heard our school
