We think that Johnson's has been so well received by the Town of Cary and the rest of the Triangle because of the strong martial arts instruction ,the one-on-one attention that every student receives and the commitment to teaching the student more than just punching and kicking. This is of the utmost importance to the Johnsons. That is to teach effective self-defense and to maintain the "art" in the martial arts in their dojang (academy). In addition to that, we strive to develop the "whole" martial arts student from the White Tiger Cub to the 4th Degree Black Belt and to teach them more than just physical skills. You can find evidence of this in our martial arts blog.
The Johnsons have over 38 years of combined experience in the martial arts. They are husband and wife, the owners of the school, and your teachers. Though Bryson and Melissa have 20 other instructional staff members to assist you in your martial arts journey, the Johnsons do most of the teaching. They like it that way! They are just so passionate about teaching the martial arts and transforming their students into champions "on and off the mat!" that they feel like they never work a day in their lives.
Johnson's TaeKwonDo's unique experiential leadership training program allows the junior martial arts student to really learn leadership by taking their skills out of the Dojang and putting them to use in the World. The martial arts skills you learn on the mat are second to none in the Apex, Cary, or Morrisville area. We teach a strong self defense oriented curriculum. We teach the student to manifest the martial arts philosophy in their daily lives.Read what people are saying about our programs.
"Our daughter joined Johnson's TKD about 4 months ago. She is 4 years old and simply loves it. We are the traditional sports family. Basketball, baseball, volleyball, track & field, but not TKD. My daughter's preschool classmate introduced us to this academy. It has been full steam ahead. She has developed and improved leadership skills, focus, and overall confidence needed to thrive within her school activities and personally. She interacts well all cultures which matches her school room setting and this alone makes her feel at home. The Johnsons welcomed us with open arms immediately upon meeting us. I cannot think of a better academy to attend. Other families and parents are certainly supportive. We will be here for a long time to come. Try it for yourself. I know once our son turns 4, he will participate at this academy as well.?"
"Johnson's Taekwondo of Cary provides the motivation to stay with an exercise program. It is a full body workout with a focus on safety to ensure it can be done long term. I started with Johnson's Tae kwon do 5 years ago at the age of 39 and am healthy and strong because of the ongoing draw that this type of exercise program can provide. It is more than exercise for the body, because here they teach exercise for the mind and we are challenged to do more for ourselves, our families and our communities. My two children also take TKD through this academy and have become solid contributing citizens and leaders. I attribute their success to the physical and educational lessons they received at this school.?"

"I am proud to say that my son goes to Johnson's TaeKwonDo Academy. The owners make sure that they know each child and parent on sight. They are friendly and always willing to discuss your child's progress and performance. They do amazing work in the community and foster a sense of community service and dedication in all the students. They have participated in St. Baldrick's Cancer Fundraising and Habitat for Humanity. It is more important to be a part of the community and help others than your rank. The Johnsons are dedicated to improving their students not only in TaeKwonDo but also in life skills. They make sure that their students get an Intent to Promote signed by their school teacher and parents. This ensures that the students are well rounded and respectful in all aspects of their lives. I'm so glad that we were recommended to Johnson's TaeKwonDo Academy!!"

"My son has attended lessons at Johnson's Taekwondo since last March (about 8 months). He is six years old. I am pleased to say that he has improved his ability to focus as well as his understanding of being respectful and being a good listener. He is excited to attend lessons and he just attended his first tournament. I am thrilled with his enthusiasm and everything he has learned. Bryson and Melissa Johnson are very easy to work with. They have the students' best interests at heart in terms of helping the students learn Taekwondo and encouraging them to think about how all of their lessons can be applied in everything they do in life. It has truly been an outstanding experience for my son (and everyone else involved).?"

"Johnson's Taekwondo Academy is not only a 5-star Taekwondo facility, but also a 5-star Leadership academy. Through the leadership skills I acquired through Taekwondo, I established an SAT Math Program to raise money for St. Baldrick's foundation. Encompassing all the necessary topics for the SAT and a few tricks I used in my 7th grade SAT, the SAT course is a great way to not only improve math skills, but also help St. Baldrick's Foundation.?"
