I am writing this review with concern. I had my child with Family Taekwondo Plus for 3 1/2 years,…read moremy child became. 2nd degree blk belt, 1st degree blk belt in weapons and loved to teach lower level student. She was always told that she was one of the top student, little did I know that she was feeling very overwhelmed to the point that she would feel sick every time she would enter the parking lot, she kept this to herself because she did not want to disappoint us. recently she let us know that she was being light by the owner and in front of the whole blk belt class that she was no longer top leader. Family Teakwondo Plus is not the place or the people we thought they were, my child heard from another student that the owners were saying thing behind her back, this caused more stress, when I went to ask them about this, the owner was not going to gave it and turned it back on to the child, I was so beside myself that I stated maybe she should not teach so many classes for this dojo the owner said that's probably best. ever since this meeting , my child has been ignored and treated like she was worth nothing. my child decided that she did not deserve to be treated with such disrespect and chose to leave. There is so much more to this story but shared just a little. bottom line they will treat you with open arms at firs, take advantage of of you later & disrespect you if you bring anything to there attention if you dot like something they are doing!!! Don't waste your mone, they pass students to the next level even when they are not ready, the staff is so low that it's students teaching students and some getting paid under the table for pennies ( child labor law) It's all about the money and not the true teaching of Taekwondo, I do have to say 3 years ago it was a good place to be, now, not so. much and I 100% can't recommend them. only if the UTWA really knew what really is going on. FYI a lot of other students have also left. That's it, that's my rant!

During our time here I have seen incredible growth for my children in many areas. Their ability to focus, their confidence, their dedication to their own goals; all have increased exponentially.

My children have been able to see me practice perseverance and learn a brand new skill along side with them, and that has been so valuable.

I have tried several other dojos around Sacramento and found this one to be very genuine and the real deal. The instructors are excellent and seek to improve the students through weekly practice sessions but there are also lots of extra events and special training opportunities. Some of these special events are up to four days long and bring other Shotokan practitioners from all over the world! I would highly recommend this organization to anyone who is interested in personal development and becoming part of an excellent community of martial artists.

My son completed his second-degree black belt at this center a few years ago, and at that time we…read morehad an excellent experience under Ms. Bowman, the original owner, co-founder, and lead instructor. However, since the new owner, Ms. Gomez took over, we have seen a significant decline in the quality of teaching, a persistent lack of individualized attention, and a significant increase in class sizes that compromised the learning environment of the students. The situation deteriorated to the point that two weeks ago we decided to withdraw our 9-year-old daughter from the program and enroll her in another, far better Taekwondo center in Folsom. The current ownership appears to prioritize increasing student volume over providing individualized attention. Students of different belt levels are frequently combined into the same classes, creating confusion for both students and parents. Additionally, the progression through belts and training milestones seems unnecessarily prolonged. They blame it to supposed deficiencies in students' "readiness" for belt testing, rather than acknowledging the impact of inconsistent teaching or insufficient oversight of their less experienced junior instructors. When we raised valid concerns about our daughter's lack of advancement and the quality of instruction she was receiving, the response from staff was dismissive and placed responsibility solely on the students and parents (e.g. suggesting that students were not practicing enough at home or that parents were not teaching them proper forms), rather than addressing the issues brought to their attention. Their current practice raises serious concerns about a potential conflict of interest, as unnecessary prolonged training directly increases the duration of monthly fees they collect from the students. When we questioned these delays and asked for clarification, they responded defensively and repeatedly, suggested enrolling in additional significantly more expensive private lessons. This clearly gave us the impression that the recommended solutions were financially motivated rather than acknowledging their teaching quality.
