My family have been students at KHK for 8+ years. The owner has always been great about working with those in financial hardships, and the instructors do their very best to prepare their students for testing. They are great about setting you up for success, and letting you know if they feel you are not ready to test. read more

There are some good employees that volunteer their time to help children learn the sport. However, the leading instructor and owner is terrible with young children. My grand daughter has been a student there since she was 5 years old. She is no longer a student there. And currently she is 9 years old and holds a 1st degree black belt. She has had a lot of health issues and because of this instructor her self confidence has been wrecked. He spoke to her, at times, that was just awful. He called her lazy and after almost 2 years of training he tells her she isn't ready to test for 2nd degree black belt. He postpone her first test for some hair brain reason. He had her sparing against boys that were black belts and 2 feet taller than she. She's barely 48" tall. I went to talk to him and he told me I was a bully. Far from the truth. Would you ever tell a paying customer this? There are some other schools out there and they don't have to be AAU certified. You see, KHK's selling point is they are AAU certified. What they don't tell you is that anyone can become a member of the AAU organization and by becoming a member you can strives to compete in any event that comes up as an independent. Far better schools out there. Just be careful and talk to pass members to get a feeling for this school. read more

My family and I have been students at KHK for just under a year so we have been able to participate in belt testing/rank advancement exams 3 times now. The instructors are wonderful both with adults and kids. I have children in each age division class as well as the adult class. The owner/master instructor is very good with children (and adults) of all ages and abilities. This school does teach discipline, respect, and hard work which is why we chose KHK. It is expected that every student work to earn each rank, it is not just rewarded for "showing up" or "participation rewards"- which I am sincerely thankful for. We want our children to learn how to work hard and earn their ranks ,as well as learn how to accept constructive criticism, coaching, and the hard lesson of needing to work harder if they do not meet the goals, expectations, and requirements of what they are trying to achieve and learn to do it again correctly with an attitude of achievement. As an adult who is learning taekwondo for the first time after many years of low activity this has been amazing and difficult- it takes commitment, practice both in class and at home, and willingness to learn and be corrected frequently in all age groups. This school does this with firmness but also with teaching self-confidence in a lasting manner not false compliments. To be able to watch the younger and school-age classes is heartwarming to see how the kids mature and improve in discipline, respect, and ability. I love seeing how my daughter especially is learning that it's ok if she is unable to accomplish something after trying many times, but with help from instructors/other students she can correct her attempt and learn what else to improve and with practice achieve her goal (learning perseverance!). If you are looking for a martial arts school where you learn martial arts, good work ethic, perseverance, respect, and can become part of a family- KHK is the place! read more
