Everyone is really nice and even if I left taekwondo for a couple of months because of school and work, when I came back everyone was nice and patient with me. They all make sure to teach you and make things fun, it's an small place but definitely has everything you will need! Everyone gets together and bring food for belt celebration parties all the time too, and everyone makes sure all kids bring or get water, snacks and drinks when needed.

Both of my black belt kids have had the best competition season to date with USA Taekwondo, thanks to the top notch training they have been receiving at First Taekwondo. It is truly amazing to witness our kids making leaps and bounds under the guidance of Master Rubben every single day and I strongly believe that joining First Taekwondo was the best decision we have made for our two talented kids. First Taekwondo has been the greatest blessing for our family and we are so excited to see what the future holds for them. Thank you, First Taekwondo!!!

Let's start off with this place is amazing! ***** My son is four years old and he's extremely shy…read more I thought taekwondo would be great for him to meet new kids and learn valuable lessons. This is his third week and I'm absolutely in love with all the instructors. They are kind, caring, and consistent. Whenever my son goes to shut down and doesn't want to participate they are patient and they work with him to get him involved. When he puts up his walls, it is also really difficult on me. I feel sometimes I don't know what to do or how to help get him involved. I get flustered and frustrated. Today I have a two instructors made me feel extremely comfortable when my son was shutting down. I have also had parents come up and tell me it's okay, their child did it too. I have actually thought multiple times of just walking out because I'm so embarrassed, but because of the support, and kindness they show me, I feel like I can get through it. If I could give them 10 stars I would! I high recommend this place to anyone wanting to introduce their child to Taekwondo. Thank you again to all the instructors! We signed up for the year and look forward to it!

This place is long overdue for a review from me. NB Tae Kwon Do is an amazing place. It is run by…read moretwo brothers and their mother. The vibe here is community. I am not an expert at Tae Kwon Do but I am a master parent. My son was 4 1/2 when he started and had a horrible temper and enjoyed hitting his sister. My son has been coming here close to six months now and he doesn't hit his sister and is a much better student at school. What more could I say? If I read my testimony I would ask, "Where do I sign?" The walls and counters are filled with trophies and childrens report cards, letter from teachers etc. i am not sure how the adult classes are but most of the adult students are incredibly active here in the childrens classes. They also appear to be capable to kicking my butt. Children arrive early to class with smiles on their faces and leave late to play with the other children. The parents have been so welcoming of me and are incredibly friendly to talk to. The classes have set times but the instructors do not end class until they are confident the kids got what they came to learn. I like that. Overall, this is the spot if you are interested in getting your kids in martial arts. In a way, I owe them my sanity. I was unable to control my sons negative attitude. Having him come 2-3 times a week for class has taught him so much more than I could. Kudos to NB! We will be lifetime members.

Lees ATA Chandler is more than just a place to take excellent taekwondo classes. It is a community of people who are dedicated to fitness, self discipline, integrity, each other, and personal growth through the leadership of the Garcias. Like many Of these places, there are large, vibrant kids classes. However, what is not is common is to see a large adult class, many high level black belts, and many who place high in regional, state, national, and world competitions. Excellence attracts excellence. The adult classes include those from all walks of life who support each other through the journey for better self, whatever that may mean. My family has been coming here for a few years now, and I have not seen the hard sell mentioned in other reviews. We spend what we choose to for equipment, dues, and competitions. The Garcia's are good to offer promotions and discounts, which are mentioned at end of class or in person when available. Like any sport, if you are serious, there is an investment as you progress, but it is your call as to what that entails.

Get ready, this will be a long one…read more.. My 8 year old son has been taking TKD classes here with the owner/main instructor Grandmaster Kim for a lil over a year and he loves it. He also has 3-4 instructors with him to assist in the class. From what I have seen, they are encouraging, supportive and patient. Yes the instructors all still wear their masks but I don't see anything wrong with that. Unless you are an anti masker, then you are prob cringing. Lols There are two rows of chairs inside for parents/guardians to stay and watch the kids. I like how they mop the floor mat after every class. Kids are taught the correct TKD techniques while getting physical activity in like jumping jacks, push-ups, running, stretching, etc. Yes it can be a lil fast paced so if your child is one who needs slow step by step instruction, then this might not be the class for them. As well as if your kid doesn't like being active they probably won't like TKD either. The kids are also taught to be respectful for example, addressing the instructors with yes sir and yes mam which I think is great. The kids are given a workbook for reference with all the steps in it. If your child needs extra help, I've seen the instructors guide them to the side for a lil one on one as needed. I've never seen them be hard on the kids. They also make it fun with board breaking days and relays. *Things to think about* I agree, the contract to sign up is long- about a yearish from start until the green belt. Once you finish that, then you may choose to stop or sign up for another contract for the black belt path. If your child decides say half way through they don't want to do it anymore then unfortunately you are SOL. You don't get a refund! TKD is an investment and I guess in a way teaching your child not to give up. The "two week free trial" is technically only three classes. So I can see it being tough for some kids to decide if they like it or not. But my kids' swim, dance and gymnastics classes only offered one free trial class so... Lessons are not the cheapest and there are extra fees like each time you graduate to another belt and any equipment like gloves and sparring accessories. Grandmaster Kim does offer payment plans. He will give you all the paperwork and fees to look over before you decide to sign up. I know some people wrote they was pressured into signing up their child but I never felt pressured at all by Grandmaster Kim. I was able to bring the info back to discuss with my husband. He did ask me to write a review on Google once but not for a discount or anything in return. I've had businesses ask me to write a review also so it's not weird to me.

The 2 year contract to start is too long. GM Kim says he offers a 2 week trial but it's really 2…read moreprivate lessons which were actually good but his actual classes are a lot different. I will admit that it was my own fault for allowing him to pressure me into signing a contract after the 2nd private lesson. I should have told him no, not until she takes your classes for 2 weeks. If you are thinking of joining his school watch his classes, and make sure that your child gets the 2 week trial during his class. I really wish that we would have. Also try and negotiate at 1 year contract and if he doesn't go for it, there are plenty of schools that do offer 1 year. We always felt that his classes were unorganized. Kids walking in 10-20 minutes late. Kids talking during class. We also didn't like that all his instructors were still masked which made it difficult to understand them. The instructors say "yes sir" after everything they say which made absolutely no sense when talking to a female. My daughter loved Tae Kwon Do until going to this school. She was at a school for 2 years in Chicago, and always looked forward to going. She never warmed up to anyone at this school. There was never enough focus on the Tae Kwon Do form during class. He would go over all 20+ steps in 1 class. Then he would tell the kids to learn the form on their own out of a handbook from pictures. You need to request videos to be sent and the videos are recorded terribly. We stuck with this school for 1 year and then decided to not continue. We are now at a different school which is much better. My daughter is in love with Tae Kwon Do again. A couple of things I did like about GM Kim's school was their sparring days and board breaking days.

My son Remington (7 years old) has been going to Master Kim's Tae Kwon Do for about 5 months now…read more Thus far he has enjoyed the experience and has learned a lot of different moves and a bit of Korean at the same time. The classes are broken up into different age categories and belt levels. However, there is family hour each day. There are several parents learning Tae Kwon Do at the same time as their kids and are able to attend class at the same time. Master Kim is very knowledgeable and has good classroom management skills. The facility is very new. I would definitely recommend this place.
