I, as a parent, have fully supported Champion's Taekwondo's curriculum and teachings from day one. Trust the process!! I can't speak for the parents and kids who didn't get the same experience as we did, but to achieve results, you have to put in the blood, sweat and tears to have the gratitude of how enriching the experience is. Maybe it's just the mainstream media and politics that is brainwashing and herding the sheep mentality making today's generation of children's parents into thinking that every issue is a medical condition and the cure is medication and therapy? Trust the process!! Kids from my generation, we didn't have these issues because we went outside, played and were social. Nowadays, Tik Tok, video games, social media have made today's generation couch potatoes, introverted and just plain lazy. You have to tell your kids to go outside and play with other kids. Martial arts is a mental, physical and social stimulation interaction. I can't speak for the previous management, but current management and hired staff have the experience and knowledge to properly teach the basic fundamentals for a strong foundation moving forward. Master Chris, Master Priscilla (Formerly Instructor Priscilla), Instructor Jordan and Instructor Sunnie (Formerly Chief Staff Sunnie) have been under Master Ro and Grand Master Oh for over 14+ years. I am grateful that this location now has a great staff and that the community has the privilege to learn from such accomplished athletes that have set a true example of how Taekwondo has changed their lives. Trust The Process!!!! The current staff have a long list of credentials and experience that they know what it takes to develop into a champion! Trust The Process!!! Put your trust into the hands of the staff and not question their methods. Trust the process!! Otherwise, you got the answer as to why your child isn't improving.

From the very first class, Master Kim's energy, professionalism, and genuine care for each student stood out. He maintains strict discipline while being kind and approachable, fostering both respect and growth among students. Classes are well-structured, combining technique, physical training, and focus, which has helped improve skills, confidence, and perseverance. Master Chris includes 1 minute quizzes at the end of every class which keeps students engaged and excited. What sets Champions apart is the strong sense of community and support. Whether a beginner or working toward a black belt, students are challenged and motivated to do their best. We highly recommend Champions Martial Arts Little Neck Taekwondo to any parent looking to build not just a stronger athlete, but a stronger person.

There's also a pool area but I believe it is for Hempstead residents only. There are some baseball fields that are utilized mainly by summer and Little League teams across the street from the pool. There's also a self-pitch batting cage that is open to the public. It's fun if you have someone who can throw straight balls so you can actually hit them. My brother is not one of these people as evidenced by the bruises along my arm, leg, and hip area. I usually only come here to play some pick up basketball but the courts are a bit uneven and when it rains, the water collects easily and leaves puddles all over the place. The only downside about Rath is that it shuts down at sunset, so there is no midnight basketball available for the gym rats. However, I did circumvent this by climbing the fence with a friend and playing some full-court 1-on-1 past 9pm without any night lights. We had to stop every once in a while because there were park keepers and popos driving by but for the most part we were gravy. The other downside that I must mention is that some of the kids in the area are obnoxiously immature and they tend to frequent this park at all times, day or night, so that may hinder the overall fun had depending upon proximity to these little rascals. I don't think there is a solution to that except better parenting but that doesn't seem to be a priority for some in the area.

Deceptively long, but very fair, and better players will score on it. Myself as not a bad player did well for my first look at it. Reachable par fours, but longer than you think par fives and par threes. Greens were much faster than I thought they would be due to the dampness, but they rolled true and there was not much breaks. Overall fun round at a nice private course on LI close to Belmont Racetrack. Stop in, play a round, and head over for the 9th race!

My 5 year old started here last spring 2018 and he really loves it. This school has a complete Tae Kwon Do curriculum that includes philosophy, basics, forms, self-defense, sparring, breaking, stretching, leadership skills, discipline and fun games for kids.

Pro: - You can do make up during the week without telling them ahead. Just show up. They won't turn you down. -great and enthusiastic instructors, especially leading instructor Charles. - kids are always engaged. Also emphasize in eye contacts and concentration. Con: - class size can go up to 15-20 kids in a small space but they have enough instructors/ assistants. Last two sessions I saw have 4 staff each. One session only has 8 kids so ended up 1:2 ratio. - part of the session they will divide the group. With two groups trying to yell loudly, it can be confusing and distracting for the little ones. - limited seating for parents to observe. Sometimes you walk in you don't lie where to stand so you won't block other parents. - Minus one star for small space. Conclusion: Will seriously think of joining long term after my groupon runs out. It will be about $1600 for 12 months for 2 sessions weekly. It is a great sport for kids and more importantly, I want my little girl to be able to defend herself.

Three months later, I still cross my fingers, but now as I watch him during his belt test, to move up to yellow belt. He has been working for this, he has been learning. But as a parent, the chance that your child might face disappointment still makes one nervous. All goes well, and my son throws up a peace sign in the group photo, like this was all easy-peasy. Of course, it wasn't. He has excess amounts of energy paired with a short attention span; he can be friendly one moment, aggressive the next, or even both at the same time. Thankfully, the instructors at Eagle's TKD (special thanks to Instructor Jonathan, who teaches on Saturday when my son attends) are blessed with an endless supply of patience and positivity...and my son responded. Eagle's even allows you to attend as many sessions as you would like, but our schedule has prevented us from going more than once a week. But what it did allow was for me to observe my son in action, and then practice with him at home. When we get home, he takes on the role of instructor, eagerly showing me what he has learned. I think back to the first conversation I had with Master Andrew, when I just happened by Eagle's; I got the feeling that this establishment put the kids first and was doing things for the right reasons. The entire staff has proven to be welcoming and supportive, providing a safe space for kids to learn. Even working with students of different belt levels and skill levels, the instructors find the time to provide individualized and small group instruction when needed. As a testament to that, I see parents and students consistently attending, along with new faces. I couldn't be happier with my decision to enroll my son at Eagle's, and judging from the growing number of regulars, many other parents feel the same.
