⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I met Taylor near the start of my own lifelong journey in the martial arts. I've had the pleasure of knowing and training along side him for roughly 15 years. Throughout this time I have seen him develop into a true and exceptional martial artist. He has fostered incredible skills in his own right but as if it were his true calling, he shines as a teacher. In his approach to teaching Taylor is very patient, understanding and thoughtful; He is kind but firm and strict when necessary. He is able to work equally well with both children and adults. Most importantly he is able to accommodate the individual needs, goals and wants of each developing student.

My son has been coming to Functional DFW for 2+ years, and he (I should say we) LOVE IT. We came to the Dojo on a whim to see if he would like it, and now it's the main sport he truly loves to do. We enjoy the fact that he's learning new ways to engage with others and gain confidence He loves the instructional guidance he receives from this Sensei and older classmates. I'd recommend Master Kelly's Dojo to anyone looking for a sport or after school activity that will encourage growth in their child.
