It's been 1.5 years and I am still going. I didn't think I would ever be a black belt, Now I am sure it is achievable as long as I put in the effort because the people at Portsmouth Aikido will provide support and top-notch training.

The kids classes at the dojo are simply fantastic. Sensei Aaron has a great rapport with all of the…read morekids, and the wonderful balance between one child advancing and the other responding means that the kids are always engaged cooperatively and actively. The dojo itself is beautiful, comfortable, and has good seating for parents to observe the classes. For those of us who are taking the adult classes -- also highly recommended -- there is a chance to come out on the matt and review some of the forms being taught to the kids and advance our stretching and other techniques. Last but not least, the dojo is a non-profit so there is absolutely no pressure to purchase extra equipment, fees for belt ceremonies, and other up-sell phenomena that we, as a family with three kids, have experienced at some of the for-profit dojos in other traditions. This dojo is simply fantastic! Give it a try!

Their instructors are professional and knowledgeable and most importantly - patient! I have limited experience with martial arts, but their team is willing to help people of all ages and experience levels. I highly recommend them!

My daughter takes classes here. Very friendly and helpful people, and welcoming environment. They…read moreclearly care about everyone wanting to succeed in this art and help greatly to see them get there. My daughter loves going knowing she has goals to work towards (her belts) and is always excited when she achieves them. She also gets quite the work out, and practically passes out when we get in the car. My daughter is 8, but I forsee her going here for a long time.

So I have to admit, I hold a second degree blackbelt as a result of my training with Grand Master…read moreSun Woo Park (although grad school has conspired to move me to Boston and make my attendance negligible in the last year or so). That being said, I cannot recommend the school enough. Mast Park is hands on, especially with the kids classes, and he is patient while managing to take no sass. My Dad regularly remarks that if I hadn't started at Park's Taekwondo that I would have ended up in military school. The Dojang (school) is spacious with one main room (with foam floor padding) and a lower area with a kicking bag. There are nice dressing rooms for men and women that each have a shower and toilet. There is also a toilet for parents and visitors not located in a dressing room. Additionally, Park's Taekwondo has more 5th Dan black belts than any school outside of Korea. Even when Master Park doesn't lead class you're guaranteed to have outstanding teaching from one of the black belts he trained.

There was a billing issue when I cancelled my membership (apparently because I opened my membership…read morein one location and cancelled it at another). I jumped to the conclusion that the overbilling was intentional and made a huge stink about it. I was wrong. Kevin showed me the website of his payment processor and it looked like my account as cancelled. He was able to get it all figured out, once he knew what the problem was. If you have a billing issue, especially when ending your membership, go to Kevin directly and give him the chance to make it right.

However, they continued charge my card 2 months after the cancellation. After a bit of back and forth, they finally refunded my card for the unauthorized charge. But wait there' s more , they just charged my card again. The first time around was Sketchy. This time inexcusable. If you really must go there write a check or pay cash. Better yet go somewhere else.

In July I started attending classes. I had no martial arts training or experience…read more I found that I enjoy 90 minutes of jiu jitsu training much more than other exercise. I started with the attitude that I would go once or twice a week. This week, I look forward to attending four lessons. Last week, I went to my first open mat that this gym offers every Saturday. I did loose 10 pounds since I started. 10 pounds does not excite me, what excites me is that I've been able to keep those 10 pounds off. This morning, I weighed in 12 pounds down. What I didn't really expect was the quality of the community that this dojo supports. People have been friendly and supportive. I believe Kevin is responsible for creating, incubating, and growing such a positive environment.
