Warning : EXTREMELY religious dojo…read more My children tried this dojo out for 2 months. I am not sure honestly, but it seems like the children were being taught by other children, or teenagers that were helping out. They were all very nice and my children and I liked them a lot. The kids did have fun, but the classes felt very unstructured, kind of random warm ups and drills. The first month was pretty good, I enjoyed watching my kids have fun running around and they were SO excited to learn kung fu. However... I did begin to notice the owner preaches pretty much every single time he opens his mouth. I am respectful of other religions and cultures, and I try to teach my children to be as well, so we let it be and listened. My kids began feeling uncomfortable asking me why he talks about his god and Jesus so much, and how they didn't like that he was making them pray with him. I honestly did not like that either, but it teaches the kids about different types of people. We have all had experiences with cult like religious people, and I guess this was going to be my children's first experience with one. I planned to let it happen and let them observe. I told my kids if it became too uncomfortable with him preaching and praying that we would leave. Well the school (mostly the owner) burned their relationship with my children real fast after that. They invited my kids to a belt seminar, cosmo himself told them they were eligible for a stripe and told them to come to the belt ceremony early to warm up. So we show up the next evening for the ceremony, my children go warm up for 15 minutes (my daughter was so proud of herself and had been practicing) then they escorted all the children to the mat to sit and watch each other earn their belts. Yea well at that moment they basically tell my kids oh surprise you are NOT eligible for a belt. Just sit and watch everyone else show what they know and you don't get to participate. My kids are 5 and 7. They were absolutely CRUSHED. After a little while of watching all the other kids show off their skills. And the owner telling one of the younger teachers specifically not to let my son go up when they were trying to fill time, my daughter grabbed her brother and came to me asking to leave. She was holding back tears trying to be strong. She was humiliated. The drive home was AWFUL. Just heartbreaking. She thought the owner made them come to the belt ceremony just to embarrass them and single them out. They were the only kids there who weren't allowed to participate. All the other kids who weren't eligible did not show up. But we were specifically told to come. I emailed them and said I was done. The school tried to contact me after to apologize and offered to basically just give my children the belts *face palm* but it was never about the belts, it was about how they made my children feel. Uncomfortable, weirded out, and then very hurt. They als told me the kids are eligible for belts every 3 months, so to me it sounds pay based not skill based. The program is also very very expensive. So there it is. My children's first experience with a very very religious person and environment ended with them feeling very burned and hurt. I would also like to say, if I would have know how insane the preaching was, I would have never signed my children up. They make the kids pray, constant preaching. They play Christian music on a television sometimes. There is even a video on instagram of the owner asking a group of children if they believe in god, which is HIGHLY inappropriate to put other peoples children on the spot like that. Let this be a warning that it is definitely too much and uncomfortable for kids that aren't already deep in that church life.

I signed up for TKD because it seemed like a fun way to get exercise. I have gotten so much more…read morethan that since I signed up earlier this year!! Tae Kwon Do offers tremendous mental benefits--focus, memorization, spatial reasoning (all those things we tend to stop practicing as adults). I was worried that I wouldn't have time in my schedule for the classes, but was surprised to see that in just a few weeks my new boost in mental clarity was SAVING me time at work. Physically, the exercise has been great. My immune system has enjoyed a boost--I haven't been catching all the illnesses going around! The exercise includes a nice range of cardio, strength training and flexibility. Working toward each belt has been surprisingly rewarding. There is a sense of camaraderie, working with peers and kids in the same belt level. We all have so much to learn from each other--that's humbling and keeps me feeling young! My sense of responsibility in my community has increased, as that's a core component of the TKD culture. I'm seeking out ways to help others more! Every time I pass a piece of litter, the masters' voices go off in my head until I pick it up. :) The masters are amazing. They always wear a smile and an encouraging voice, but that doesn't mean they'll let us get away with doing anything less than our best! The TKD culture is full of respect, strength, integrity and honor--things that have been forgotten by most of us Americans. Spending time here has been a great influence on me, that has spread to all areas of my life. The extra programs offered (Leadership Team, Demo Team, etc.) are great assets to our community, as they nurture kids, teens and parents into better neighbors, students, employees and employers. Thank you, Masters, for all you do for us!

Pretty impressive considering they have dozens of students come through in a day. I've also been very impressed with the curriculum and how quickly my 4 year old has picked up on things. She looks forward to our weekly practices and I have seen such a positive shift in her attitude since starting! Her response to many of my questions is "yes ma'am" which I have Master Mia to thank for that. They teach children about respect and working hard and as a mother I appreciate that so much. My daughter has worked hard and has already worked her way up to the next belt and I have the coaches to thank for that! I highly recommend this Tae Kwondo facility to anyone looking for high quality education and coaching.
