Craig Vandergrift Jr

Signed both of my daughters up last July. I can’t say enough about Lakewood Ranch Taekwondo. Master Craig is one of 5 Grandmasters and a 9th Degree Black Belt. He teaches by the book - very disciplined. If you are looking for someone to teach your son or daughter self-defense, discipline and respect - this is the place for you!

My 5 yr old daughter recently began a program at LWR Taekwondo and loves it! Master Craig takes Taekwondo seriously. This isn't day care - but a class for students dedicated to learning martial arts. There are NO contracts. You pay month by month. He teaches every class himself whether you're a white belt or black belt.

My 2 kids are homeschooled, so when it came time to choosing Martial Arts school, I needed the best! We looked around for months until we found Master Craig. His classes are for kids that WANT to learn. They are serious, structured, disciplined and respectful. My kids are rapidly learning their forms.

My two children, ages 8 and 9 now, have been attending LWR Taekwondo with Master Craig for over two years now and love it. The students in this academy work very hard to earn their belts. It is not a "belt factory" nor is it a day care. If you're looking for the real deal, this is it!
