Going on ten years training at White Tiger Taekwondo and Martial Arts. Taekwondo is my stress…read morerelief - the thing that I do for myself. White Tiger is welcoming to all ages and abilities. I started training after 40 and have always felt supported and challenged by our masters and instructors. It's a great place to train and will quickly become a second home. My son Daniel has been training since the age of 5 and has benefitted greatly. I'm testing this weekend for my next black belt and want to thank Master Wright, Master Ara, and Instructor Malone for helping me reach my goal. Most of all thank you to Master Rondy for the opportunity to train at such a great school.

We've been with Kim's white tiger taekwondo Chapel Hill for two years. Masters Kim and Lee are…read moregreat, very good with kids and parents, possess great skill level. However, i really hate their payment policies - the woman co-owner who sits upfront is very pushy and can get really grouchy when she tries to get customers sign up for expensive unnecessary 3-year unlimited plan. No, I don't need it, I don't want it, I am not interested in a slightly cheaper 3-year plan either. I am not interested in signing up 3-year contracts with a taekwondo school, that's ridiculous. We like taekwondo but don't like that you jerk up the price each time i need to renew the contract. They have lost a few teachers and the classes have become very crowded and in addition they are jerking up the price - no thank you, we'll go elsewhere. Very pushy and unpleasant to deal with co-owner, just like a used car salesman, she'll be trying to sell you things you don't want.

I'm not thrilled with the facility, but the Sifu is great, the price is right, and it works with…read moreour schedule. It's one of the few places that doesn't split up kid and adult sessions so my son and I can go to the same class. Plus it's Shaolin kung fu, which is like THE style to learn if you're going to learn any wushu, none of that tae kwon do/karate generic watered-down stuff. The sessions can be brutal some days but you'll really see a change in yourself and gain some impressive skills.

I decided to try Raleigh Shaolin largely based on the other review. I'm very glad I did. We have…read morebeen coming for almost 2 years. My children and I take classes together. Sifu Mike is a gifted teacher and gives individual attention to each student in the school. We have learned so many valuable skills. Tai Chi classes are included in the monthly fee, which is already very reasonable. Happily, the facility has been renovated and feels brand new. You can try or watch a class, which I highly recommend doing.

DO NOT SIGN YOU CHILD UP FOR A 3 YR BLACK BELT CONTRACT. Your child will undoubtedly tire of the repetitive "forms" and get sick of the program, with rare exceptions. If you do this, I encourage you to set up month to month payments so you/your child can stop as you wish and don't throw away money. This is EXPENSIVE. The gear cost is exorbitant. There are a thousand different colored belts and graduations; not surprisingly, this is because the ATA gets a payment for each graduation. For higher belts, there are two graduations for each color. 1 X (color) belt "recommended" and 1 (same color) belt "decided". Why are there so many?!!! At higher levels, there are required mid terms and boot camps and each cost a hefty fee. There is also a substantial yearly ATA membership fee. These things add up quickly. Instructors are mostly good, especially for kids. For adults, instructors treat you with respect, but respectfully like a child. Imagine calling kids "sir" and having to hear their life advice; that's what it feels like. There's a patronizing attitude, so this may not be a good training environment for adults. I suggest you take up Kra or some other practical martial art where instructors don't have a superiority complex. In many cases they are the ones who could benefit from some advice in all honesty. I could not keep track of the number of students who keep going due to to parents signing them up for a contract of several years, but are miserable. Please avoid this contract completely.

At first I was super excited as I called and was told they do birthday parties and was quoted a great price. Confirmed with the guy on the phone the date I needed and then we scheduled time to meet for a tour and to go over paperwork. Met the next day and it was as if we had never spoken. The guy tells me they require a two weeks notice because they need to send out emails. Basically told me he couldnt help and turned my son and I away. I had already explained to him on the phone 7/18 that I needed 7/30. So disappointed that they were so ready to turn away business. They seemed very frigid and dishonest...the exact opposite of what I want to teach my son.
