Even though Mooshim is nowhere near where I live, I can tell you that this Taekwondo school is…read moreoutstanding. I met Master Amy several years ago while training at my local dojang. We became friendly and I know that her biggest passion in life is Taekwondo (OK...maybe a close second to her family! She does love them!). Master Amy has trained under multiple TKD Grandmasters and brings a refreshing perspective to the art: a perfect combination of traditional martial arts, fitness and sports acumen. Master Amy cares deeply about every one of her students and truly gets joy out of watching their growth and success. When covid shut everything down in March, I started training with her and her students online. She shifted gears and created asynchronous content for her students to access - but, more importantly, kept the flow of live classes going using zoom. Online-only classes continued until some of the restrictions started to lift. She is currently running hybrid classes so that she can address the needs of all. There are several students that are strictly online since they live in different parts of the US (even different time zones!). Since we're still at the height of the pandemic, all in-person participants require masks, temperature checks, hand sanitizer and substantial social distancing - so (in-person) class sizes are currently limited. Master Amy has taken all precautions - and then some - to ensure everyone's safety. She's been incredibly creative on how to teach nuanced techniques from a distance and will try anything to help bring her students along. If you're looking for a great way to get fit, have fun and learn an amazing, traditional martial art - check out Mooshim.

What a great place! I brought my 6 year old twins for a free trial class and was impressed from the…read moremoment I walked in the door. The space is bright, airy and clean with plenty of space for the kids to store their personal belongings during class. There is a seating area with tables so parents can watch and relax, or bring a laptop (free wifi!). The instructors, Amy and Tessin, pay attention to each individual kid, making sure they use proper form and that they understand why it's done that way. It was really cool to see how things just clicked with my kids when the instructors took the time to explain things. My kids are always so proud of their achievements at the end of class, and they feel confident that they will know how to protect themselves from the "bad guys" (a very big concern for all 6 year olds!) But this place isn't just for kids! There are tae kwon do classes for adults, and conditioning classes as well. The drop in rate for the conditioning class is very reasonable for anyone who can't commit to a full schedule. And the class was actually fun! It's non-stop the whole time, but there is such variation in the drills and exercises that it never felt boring. I felt like I was being pushed to do my best, but it was never intimidating. I highly recommend the class to anyone who wants a great workout but needs a little support or a break from the monotony of the gym.

When my daughter (6 at the time) , went to a TKD birthday party she wanted to study herself. The first place I thought about was Cho's Legacy. I took Stella to a personal class/meeting with Master Acevedo and she loved it. I loved being back in the Do Jong again and was struck not only by how much she love it, but by the instant rapport between Master Akil and Stella. Not every martial artist can be a teacher, and not all of those teachers can connect with and teach to 6 year old kids the way he does. After the hour meeting, Stella asked if she could sign up and I said of course. She then told me that she could see how much fun I had being there with her and asked me to sign up with her. I did not realize until I went there just how much I missed studying TKD and I agreed. We've now spent the last 11 months studying together, practicing at home, and bonding over a shared dedication and love of the sport. Studying here has given her such confidence and accomplishment. At her school talent show this fall, she worked on a routine with Master Akil and there she was, a 7 year old all by herself on stage running through a routine and bringing the crowd to their feet with a thundering board breaking finish. We've committed to obtaining our black belts together and I can't wait to continue our training together. Challenging and fun for children and adults alike. A wonderful and friendly atmosphere and school community. Thank you Master Acevedo!

He knows it's challenging, but he likes the challenge and enjoys when he ultimately succeeds. We go twice a week, and there is a fixed schedule for the month so you know what days of the week a class is offered for your child's level. And I want to make clear that the head instructor and owner, Master Yoon, is at every.single.class. He is the teacher. His sons help, and some of the older students also work as helpers. But Master Yoon is there every single day, every single class. He knows every child by name. He knows what they are capable of, and knows how to push them just a little bit farther each time. He is very serious, but also always laughs and jokes around with the kids. So they like him, but they know when he has put on his serious face and it's time to stop clowning around. And this is not a belt-mill. If you are not ready to test, you don't get to test. And even when you get to test for the next belt level, I have seen him fail kids that didn't perform well enough during testing. So there's no guarantee that you can just pay your way to black belt. Do I have any complaints? As you move up in belts, there are less options for class times. For "No belt to orange", a class is offered 5 days a week. For "Green to blue", it's just 3 times a week. So it gets a little harder to manage the schedule as your child advances. And Master Yoon speaks quickly, so a year in I still have trouble understanding him sometimes, and I think the kids do too, especially at first. I would highly recommend this place. And the way it works, you get a cheaper 6-week trial so you can see if it's a good fit for your kid.

Fortunately, that wasn't the case for my family & I. At the start My family & I were racial profiled, felt unsafe and were falsely accused of many things. Beside from that each lifeguard kept staring at my family even after when we weren't in the water. At one point my kids got screamed at for throwing a ball around even though they were other kids doing the same as mine. One of my other kids who were older and with no kids around was using profanity in between conversation with other family members. The owner screamed at all of them in the rudest manner and they were told by her to "Shut up and watch your mouth". We stood quite because at that point we knew something wasn't right, and there would be no point to fight with someone as ignorant as they were. A couple of minutes passed by and she was cursing with other lifeguards and cursed at her own kids. Which at this point we can rule in hypocritical and racial behavior between the owners and staff. My family isn't "small", and we're all not "quite" nor we aren't stupid and lesser than anyone in the vicinity. Best Believe when we all come together to enjoy a place such as the Knoll Garden Pool, We bought chips, drinks (soda, juices and water) and food. Which is allowed at the poolside. While we were eating, and snacking on our things, we cleaned up and threw everything in the garbage. As soon as the cups and the food were placed in the trash, the owner and staff Accused my family of being under the influence to hiding liquor, even said we had the whole place smelling like liquor. They took it to the extreme by taking all of our trash from the trash and smelling each empty cup. Since none of the cups smelled like liquor the manager then went to opening water bottles on the table and smelling each one of them. One of the staff even has the audacity to take a sip out of one of the bottles, and all she sip'd was water. They claimed to smell alcoholic beverage in one single cup. I took the liberty to walk around the poolside and ask the other people enjoy the pool if they smelled anything that closely resembles anything to liquor. Each and every single person we asked said no, that the cup smells like nothing. A Big Hispanic Family Racially Profiled and wrong accused of actions none of us did. Soon after, our every move was being watched by staff and the owner. They even placed a lifeguard to sit in the middle between our family. How inconsiderate can the staff and owner be towards my family. They were wrong during their assumption and to place a lifeguard in the middle as if we were animals that needed to be watched carefully. Knoll Gardens Pool closes at 7, it just so happened that by 6:20 the owner blew her Whistle and were screaming at my family to exit the pool, not even giving us more than a minute to exit. She was screaming at us like animals. " I don't care, my pool and I want you people out, I want you people to leave" Came straight from The proud owner of Knoll Gardens Pool. While my family were getting our stuff, we asked "why are you treating us like animals?" Just for The Owner to call the cops, and unfortunately a verbal fight broke out between a family member and the owner due to her rude and racial behavior. In the end, they treated us like animals, watched us like animals & kicked us out like animals that we are not. Little does any of the staff or owners know that they were video recorded during the verbal fight. They told the cops that we are rude and loud and drinking. The manager even called their whole family to threaten us And say " we called the cops, as if we were scared. And acted like we were scared of getting deported or something between those lines. All the statements that weren't true and the video will express those thoroughly. We aren't animals, we paid to get in, we deserve an atmosphere that didn't make my kids cry. Knoll Gardens Pool is a horrific display of racism to the illest extend. In the end, it's not about getting the money we paid back. It's knowing that racism is still alive and this memory will have the younger generation of my family scared of this type of behavior for majority of their life.

Don't even bother to call. She won't care about ur concerns or comments !

This is the first time I have written a review but this place deserves it. My son has worked with Master Kang and his sister Suji Kang for going on 3 years. He has always been very interested in Taekwondo and started when he was 4 years old (he is now 19). He is a 4th degree blackbelt; a referee in both sparring and poomsae, which has done at both States and Nationals. He has a real passion for poomsae and that is because of the these amazing teachers. After a few months with them he placed 3rd at Nationals (he was 21st the year before). Since then he as been a 2 time National Champion, even winning Gold in his first year in his new division and 2 time National team member. He also has several Gold medals for international compeitions. These people are so wonderful with kids of any age and they have dedication to the sport, especially in Poomsae (the non fighting - Forms - portion of Taekwondo). After having my son at a school for 10 years, where they did not want to let him compete so he did it on his own, we moved on. He was then at another school which we drove 100 miles each way to take him too (so he could train with one of the National Team coaches) for almost 2 years, as well as taken seminars all across the county. I can say that his switching to Miracles has done by far the most for him. Not just for his skills, but for the discipline, the encouragement, the dedication to helping him better himself, and believe in himself, has given him so much. We live in CT yet my son will drive to this school every chance he gets. Now that he is in college he is unable to train with them often but every break that brings him home he spends more time training with them than he does with us and his friends. I can't say enough good things about this school. They teach the traditional way with all that makes Taekwondo such an amazing sport and one that encompasses more than just sport. It teaches discipline, drive, determination, respect, belief in oneself, setting goals and then helping you till those goals are achieved and moving on to setting the next goal, all of which are great life skills. These are things that will help anyone, especially a child, be set-up for great things and success, in all aspects of their life. My only regret about this place is that they had not been here years ago and that my son could not have started with them many years earlier than he had. Anyone who has a young child - you are so lucky that you can start them with Kangs now. That said - anyone at any age who joins this amazing dojang will have joined one of the best in the country working with the nicest people; and they will make you work, but you will have a lot of fun at the same time!! read more

I usually do not write reviews on this platform but I feel compelled to do so. My children are both at Miracles Taekwondo, and have been for a year now. I am confused as to how Cindy Y has had such a bad experience at this business because I DO NOT share the same impression as her. From the outside Miracles looks like any ordinary Taekwondo place, but inside it is so much more! This place is run by a family that instills patients and care into everything they teach. They are wonderful with young children as well as older children, and even adults! They really know how to teach. They are not just teaching the form of Taekwondo, but also they teach how to be patient, have good character, and to be respectful. Aside from the wonderful teaching they have at Miracles they also offer a camp, and various weekend activities so that your kids can make good friendships with fellow Taekwondo students. I can not stress enough the wonderful way in which Miracles handles my children, and their ability to teach the art of Taekwondo. I would suggest to anyone reading this to try the introductory program that they offer so that you can get a feel for it, and to see this place for yourself. They have a large shared parking lot with lots of parking. While in the waiting area you can easily see your children while they are training with these fantastic Masters. read more

As you can imagine juggling schedules is a hard task and they aren't couch potatoes- they do other sports. When I gave my notice I was very disappointed in the response from the management. While I can imagine its upsetting to sign up new kids and lose them, the level of conversation we had was unreal. He basically wanted me to force them to come "I'm the parent". Quite honestly I'm not going to pay for a service that my boys don't want to do and kids are way too over scheduled these days. I was very honest about that. His response to me was that "You knew they were doing these other activities when you signed them up" and "had he known I would just quit like this he never would have accepted me into the program." Im of the mindset that kids should finish what they started but I certainly wasn't going to bring my kids there to finish out the month even though we had to pay for it. Had to give thirty days notice - So we are stuck paying for a service for the following month we won't use - which we agreed to but it would have been nice if they only charged for one child instead of two. Especially since they are getting paid and not giving a service at all. Very disappointed.
