    A fun place for your kids! Great atmosphere and clean facilities. My niece has a good time here and…read moreMr. Kim is a nice man.

    As a veteran living with PTSD, trust is something I have to earn carefully. Before I enrolled,…read moreMaster Kim told me that he and his brothers had spent many years training U.S. Army soldiers in South Korea. As a veteran, hearing that mattered to me. It made me believe I was placing my trust in someone who understood veterans, integrity, and honor. Unfortunately, my experience was the exact opposite. I prepaid for a three-month Kendo program. When I enrolled, I was told I would not need a uniform for four to six months and that protective gear would come even later. Within two weeks I was being told to buy a uniform, and by the third week I was being pressured to prepay for an entire year. Those broken promises immediately raised concerns, and I stopped training after about three weeks. After months of repeated follow-ups and having to go to the dojo in person, my uniform was finally ordered. When it arrived, I was told it had been given to someone else--even though I had already paid for it. I was also promised a partial refund in March. That refund never came. I later returned to try to complete the training I had already paid for, but the class was disorganized. Students were unsure of forms, and even basic equipment was forgotten during instruction. I walked out. For most people, this may sound like a dispute over money. For me, it wasn't. As a veteran with PTSD, I trusted Master Kim because of what he told me about training U.S. Army soldiers. Instead, I experienced repeated broken promises, constant pressure to spend more money, and commitments that were never honored. That experience severely triggered my PTSD and sent me into one of the darkest periods of my life. The emotional impact became so overwhelming that I reached out to the Department of Veterans Affairs for professional mental health care because I was afraid of where I was heading. I cannot say what Master Kim intended. I can only describe what happened to me and the impact it had on my life. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this dojo. If you are considering training here, ask detailed questions, get every financial commitment in writing, and carefully consider whether this is the kind of business you want to trust.
