Luckily, I was referred to check NAK out from a good friend. I used to train in two different gyms in San Diego and would always be nervous before stepping into any Muay Thai gym; due to the seemingly intimidating nature. While waiting for my class to start I was greeted by whoever was walking in and who was on their way out. I immediately recognized NAK was a place of integrity and respect. I genuinely enjoyed every minute of my experience, including the part when I felt like my arms were going to fall off. I am happy to become apart of this family and would recommend NAK to anyone of all ages with whatever experience. I look forward to regaining skills that I have learned before as well as learning so much more.

I've been in some environments that are so strict that it's hard to learn because you are so focused on not screwing something up. This is different.

I highly recommend this place for anyone looking into Krav Maga.

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.

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.

Not only did the instructor over shadow her class sessions with numerous off topic outings and…read moreactivities (similar to a summer camp program), but my ethnic-oriented daughter was also mocked repeatedly for her braided updo. Unsure if it was beknownest our presence in her class but there was several crazy hair days, students in the class failed to partake in, after my daughter appeared with a pink hinted curly ponytail. The black haired female instructor then appeared one day in a similar double bun hair-do , then secondly in a floral hair style similar to floral hat I was wearing. I thought for certain this was to detour us from participating in her class, as my children were the only white belts. After being invited to an outdoor flag football game and given the rundown of several upcoming off property events, we decided to recede our devoted schedule. Upon withdraw my credit card has now been charged a total of 4 seperate payments; 2 additional payments per child. Being a single parent already bogged down as a head of household of my own, this karate studio has become a complete nightmare. Once we enrolled in a proper studio my children then conveyed to me that they in fact did not learn a thing at DePalmas. They also iterated to me that their one-on-one moments with the DePalmas instructor revealed to them improper form per their new knowledge. It is unfortunate we surpassed our new near-to-home karate studio to venture to DePalmas. These 4 additional increments were deducted from my account anonymously post withdrawal during our FIRST ever trip to Disney Adventures In California. Being able to fulfill this notion for Summer Break was very important to me as a devoted mother. I deeply regret agreeing to participate in DePalmas Karate as I am now in between employment and without an income. A brief description of coming payments were explained during our request of withdrawal, however, I can hardly understand the reasoning why a mid May occurrence would be relevant in July. A printed itemized sheet of these coming incidences would've been a more logical stance to me. Now that we are absent it all comes across a bit scammish to me, as if it were solely about financial gain. If propositioned again, we would again refrain.
