The most disappointing place. if you aren't a member of their demo team you are overlooked. on more…read morethan one occasion, ok, many many occasions I've witnessed them disrespecting students. I've heard them say "not good", "too hard, lose weight", or make fun of children's hair or clothing. They admonish children who aren't old enough to drive, or are late because they are being tutored. They preach respect but are the most disrespectful men I've ever come across. waiting for our contract to be done then we are gone. Literally go anywhere but here.

We moved here from Northern Virginia almost three years ago, and searched for an excellent Tae Kwon…read moreDo dojang for a long time. We tried several different places, but they just did not measure up to our old one (Tiger Den). Finally we discovered Tiger World Class Tae Kwon Do, in Ellicott City. I have been saying for years that we need something like this here! You will find the instructors, Master Shin and Master Chong are both experts in Tae Kwon Do, however most importantly are enthusiastic about the sport! They have a way of encouraging the kids to learn while strengthening their bodies and teaching respect. My son's behavior improved immediately after a few classes. He wants to do well for the Masters and he has developed an appreciation for the Korean teachings of respect. Most of all, he is excited to learn and has a goal to strive for black belt. The Masters get the kids to think about goals, which is what they need. My son even has the thought the he could compete one day, just like the Masters. I believe with excellent teachers like Master Shin and Master Chong it is possible! You will find the dojo is always clean and everything is new. They have state of the art equipment, and benches for the parents to sit and watch. The schedule is very accommodating. You can choose from a variety of classes from afternoon to late evening, and even Saturday classes. The class time is just under an hour, so not too long for busy schedules and it does not interfere with homework. You will find price to be comparable to others in the area, and they do accept payment plans. It is well worth the money, and it has been my experience that the class sizes are small enough that each child gets individual instruction and attention. Overall, this is a success for Ellicott City! This is exactly the type of Tae Kwon Do we needed. They have a website that gives more information of their backgrounds. Check it out...and give them a call.

The school is very family friendly and offers afternoon and evening classes. They also have an after school program and run summer camps and day camps when Howard County Schools are out. My daughter has benefited in other ways besides physical fitness and training in martial arts. After having participated in a number of tournaments, she is able to perform in front of a large audience without issue. Before SMA she was really shy when in a large crowd situation. She has also met many dear friends at SMA and they have all grown up together training side by side. I also like that there are a lot of girls at SMA which made her comfortable early on some of them are in leadership and instructors. But all of the boy and girl instructors are good role models that she looks up to. Of course nothing is ever perfect, and we sometimes argue when she should be practicing at home and does not want to. But when she goes to class she always looks forward to it and comes home wanting to improve herself.

My wife and I stumbled across Wilde Lake karate and learning center after mindless searching. Everywhere we found was filled, far away, expensive, the timing wasn't right or just plain expensive. The boys have really enjoyed coming here to make friends, learn about karate, play, swim, etc. Everyone has a great attitude and extremely welcoming. The boys come home and are excited to tell us about everything they have learned and it has been much more stimulating than our previous summer care. The price is worth it and everyone is great!

Needless to say I'm filing a better business bureau complaint and you would do well to steer clear.
