Vargas Taekwondo – A Family Legacy

Vargas Taekwondo is a wonderful family-run martial arts school. I checked out several local “chain” schools for my kids but this one resonated with me as very similar to one I attended as a child. Grand Master Vargas, a Marine veteran, tailors instruction to the age/maturity of each class while still maintaining the students’ focus and interest. Encouraging proper technique is paramount in building the foundation for students to advance. His wife, Master Linda, assists class instruction while also maintaining an invaluable network of communication with parents and students as well as organizing tournament participation, belt rank testing, movie night/Parents’ Night Out events, an annual holiday party, and more. Many advanced students choose to continue their development by participating in a student instructor program. It is truly a family environment and we are so thankful to have found this community! Very highly recommend to anyone looking for a taekwondo school!

Grandmaster Pete and Master Linda provide an exceptional Taekwondo learning environment for children. Their classes are highly organized, enjoyable, and patient. Their passion, care, and methodical teaching approach are truly remarkable. Quarterly belt exams keep students motivated and focused on continuous growth. However, for me, the true highlight is the passion and positive energy they bring to each class. As students progress and earn their black belts, they are given the opportunity to become assistant teachers. This is a fantastic way for them to experience leadership and contribute to the instruction of younger students.

Our family loves Vargas taekwondo classes. Master Pete is a great instructor and Ms. Linda is always loving and encouraging the kids. I'm very happy to have found them as my son's mentor! I have seen my son become more disciplined and more respectful. Thank you for all your hard work!!!

Amazing!! Kids get to learn about martial arts discipline that helps them with their lives and experiences in a safe family environment. My son has been attending this school since 3rd grade and his teachers started to notice his change in behavior immediately! He is now in middle school and is an excellent student. We love our TKD family!

A top notch martial arts school offering best training & behavioral traits. What stands out is along with Taekwondo training the students are being reinforced with good values at every available opportunity. My son has been in this school since 2018 and absolutely loves it. Sir and Madam are always there to support and work with you. Go enroll!

My son attends taekwondo there and he's doing well. The instructor has full control of his studio and staff.

My son who is 5 years now has been learning taekwondo from Master Petesince year. Joining my son here was the best decision I made for my son. Master Pete and Ms. Linda has been best in treating my son with patience, love and care. They have always treated every child in the same way. They are really like a family now. Can't thank them enough for their efforts in building each child's future by teaching them discipline, humbleness, self esteem and courage. I would undoubtedly recommend this place to all the parents. Thank you Sir and Mam for everything. God bless.

Amazing School and Highly Recommend! This place is like a second home for kids. Both sir and madam take really good care of the students. Not only do they teach excellent taekwondo but so many virtues that makes your child a better person overall. They're truly invested and very well organized. There are additional avenues that are promoted and supported to participate in events, tournaments which also helps kids get competitive exposure. Keep up the excellent work! Cheers.

We are very proud and happy to be a part of Vargas Taekwondo family for almost 14 years now. Master Pete and Mrs. Linda have been great teachers and are excellent with kids. My kids have learned discipline and confidence with the practice of Taekwondo under the guidance of Master Pete and Mrs. Linda.

Amazing Tae Kwon Do instructor; he is great with both kids and adults. Mrs Linda and Master Vargas make you part of their family while instilling "courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self control, and indomitable spirit". This is not one of those schools that pass the student along just to take your money......Master Vargas along with the wonderful black belt students provide excellent instruction(Master Vargas teaches every class). If you want your kids to learn the art of Tae Kwon Do with someone who is genuine, caring, and will give individualized attention to students to ensure they can reach full potential.......then Look no further....

Great, family oriented martial arts studio!

Vargas Taekwondo is a world class Taekwondo dojang under the patient, disciplined and committed tutelage of Master Pete Vargas and Mrs Linda Vargas. My son was welcomed into this dojang after his previous dojang shuttered its doors early into COVID19. My son is now even more passionate about art of Taekwondo after a year in this dojang. We only wish we had discovered Vargas Taekwondo a year sooner. Vargas Taekwondo embodies exceptional balance in their presentation of the tenets of Taekwondo: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit. I am an advocate of Vargas Taekwondo and more importantly my son eagerly strives to be his best! Thank you Vargas Taekwondo for your service and commitment to excellence.

Wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible recognition that you and Mrs. Linda and Sir have bestowed upon the children at Vargas Taekwondo. It brings us immense joy to learn that (name) has been selected as an awardee for this month’s recognition. It reinforces the value of the hard work and dedication that (name) has put into his Taekwondo journey. Your continuous support and guidance have played a pivotal role in nurturing his skills and character development. In addition, we would like to express our deep appreciation for the exceptional training that you and Sir provide to all the students. It’s not just about Taekwondo techniques; you impart important life lessons that go beyond the martial arts arena. The holistic approach to training instills discipline, resilience, and self-confidence in these young individuals which will certainly serve them well through out their lives. Once again, thank you both for all your guidance and support to (name) & other kids.

Wonderful Taekwondo school. So thankful my son has found a home here. Not only are fundamental techniques taught, but also respect. Can’t recommend this place enough!!! Grand Master and Master Linda show true pinnacle leadership with these kids!

Vargas TKD has been among the best places we have sent our boys. They are learning discipline and self-control while learning practical self-defense techniques. Master Pete and Linda Vargas are firm but genuinely caring instructors who set high expectations but reward students for achieving them. They have created a family-friendly environment that goes above and beyond martial arts instruction.

The best martial arts academy in Central Florida IMHO. Grandmaster Peter Vargas is kind and caring while instilling a strong work ethic and respect for all his students. Master Linda Vargas is very organized and runs the school with with precision. She guides the parents and students through every function with grace and confidence. I highly recommend Vargas Taekwondo for both children and adults.

My daughter has been a part of Vargas TKD for over 6 years. She started off as a little girl having fun at her first belt rank promotion and now is a strong and confident young lady that recently earned her 3rd degree black belt. We have had nothing but great experiences at this Dojang. Master Pete and Miss Linda are excellent at what they do and are exceptional role models. You are challenged not only physically but also mentally and they are with you every step of the way. They offer a very positive and supportive environment, that encourages kids to surpass their limitations. I would recommend this program for kids and adults alike. It teaches and builds respect, discipline, self-control, self-esteem, confidence and strength.

My son has been taking Taekwondo here for over a year now - he's made it to Green Senior belt. The owners are just the most incredible people. Patient & kind, but firm. The kids all know there's a time to play and a time to lock in and focus. My son is neurodivergent and by the time he's at Taekwondo his meds are long worn off and he's a little ball of chaos, they are amazing with him and really care about every child there! Cannot recommend them enough.

Awesome dojo to learn Taekwondo. My son continued his training after we moved to Sanford and I could see the discipline inculcated in him through the training and encouragement from his teachers. Teachers really kept his interest going and he continues his Taekwondo journey with more enthusiasm now that he has received his 2 nd Dan.
