First off, I'll say that this is a fantastic school in terms of the quality of teachers and…read moreinstruction. Deep knowledge of the craft and great classes. This review has to do with the administration of the school, which I have had an absolutely horrendous experience with, so much so that I feel the need to write a review to make other people aware of the way they have dealt with me - which is borderline immoral. At the start of this year I postponed my year long martial arts training (billed monthly) by 3 months because I was going to be out of the country. I got a written confirmation email from the school stating that they could honor this request and would not charge me while I was away. A couple weeks before I came back to New York, I had a seizure while still traveling, which also caused a shoulder dislocation while I was unconscious. Needless to say, I cannot practice martial arts for the foreseeable future. I requested to cancel the remainder of my one year training contract for medical reasons. NYMAA said they would not be able to do this without a medical note from a doctor. This is despite them telling me when I signed up initially that the year long training could be cancelled at any time - this is predatory business practice #1 - locking you into getting charged every month for a year, while telling you you can cancel anytime but not planning to honor that. I sent them a letter from my Doctor, clearly saying that after being evaluated I should not be participating in martial arts and should have my remaining months cancelled (they charge $207/month for JKD training). Not only did they refuse to acknowledge the letter because it was missing an official letterhead (something they neglected to mention they needed when first asking for the letter), but they also began asking me for proof of my travel, all of a sudden investigating the past, despite having agreed via email before I left to postpone my payments while I was away. I sent them a new letter with the requested letterhead from my doctor, as well as my travel itinerary, and then they went radio silent, despite repeated follow ups. In that time, I noticed that not only was I charged for the month of May, but there were also three attempted charges for the three months I had been away, trying to be retroactively billed to my card. Absolutely INSANE. I called, and upon speaking to someone in person it was clear that she didn't know that this had happened and was generally unaware of the new charges, but she did say that they still wouldn't accept my new letter, without giving a clear reason why. At this point this feels like a SCAM. I have provided everything asked, and they keep coming up with bullshit reasons why they can't cancel my membership, AND are trying to retroactively charge me for months that they agreed IN WRITING not to charge me for. No one can clearly or cohesively explain to me why any of this is happening. It's a shame that such a great school of martial arts is being run like so unscrupulously. At this point I've gotten my credit card company involved, but the whole situation been a nightmare. Forget about the lack of basic decency on display; treating someone who has medical proof of a seizure like an investigation subject. Sign up for a membership with these guys at your own risk. All I can say is be 100% sure you plan on using your membership and won't need to alter or cancel it for any reason because this company has demonstrated that they have no moral issue with charging your card on file however they see fit. Absolutely pathetic business practices.

I checked out Ju Jitsu, Karate, Tae Kwon Do schools not knowing what to expect and found myself talking to a lot of "martial arts factory salesmen" running the schools. When I met MASTER MA for the first time he immediately struck me as a REAL instructor and the friendliest person you'll ever meet. I did a trial lesson and, although I was very intimidated, they explained things in a way that made sense and made me more confident and comfortable as it went. I joined and built myself up over the years. I'm very happy I picked this school. The lineage and the instruction you receive is undoubtedly authentic as you can trace the instructors training through Grandmaster Kang the owner of the schools (who's father trained in the FIRST Tae Kwon Do school in Korea). Some students go to class almost every day and some students go once a week or so but the instructors keep everyone on pace for their goals and there are many black belts that help out as well. I'm in the adult classes but seeing the kids classes everyday, I'm amazed how far the kids come no matter what their skill level and maturity is when they start, the instructors do a great job of keeping everyone in line, in shape, and having fun, all while imparting knowledge. Tae Kwon Do is such a great work out, the system has a generous learning curve, and you find yourself in great shape overall (cardio endurance and strength) with increased physical ability, this school is the best choice and the classes ranging from traditional, sparring, cardio, stretching, etc.. are always fun and different.

To comment on the other reviewer Alexander S... perhaps you had such a bad experience with TKT…read morebecause youre such a Dumbass... TKANG is the best taekwondo school you can find. They don't just hire instructors off the street,. Each instructor was a student and have been with TKT for at least 15 years.They only hire from within and are very particular about how they conduct their business. They take particular interest in each of their students which is a high feat in itself. If you are dedicated to the art of taekwondo and show you take it seriously the instructors make it a point to work on every aspect to ensure you will improve in your strengths and perfect what you excel at. If you are lacking in any particular aspect perhaps it s because you need to work harder at it or put more practice in. By the way what other martial arts school encourages you to attend every day? TKT is an elite school.

I do agree that they could improve their business model by being more upfront and clear about what they charge for and how they charge.
