The…read moreinstructors work amazingly with the kids, teaching her forms, teamwork, weapons, and (of course) discipline. The best part is -- she enjoys it! Master Kim and the instructors stress the importance of discipline, not only in the gym, but also at home and in school. The same goes for respect and trying one's best. Great values for children of any age! I recommend WCT Gresham for anybody whose kid wants to learn self defense and have a great time at the same time.

I believe every child (starting at 4 years old) should learn from Master Lee. You will be amazed at the positive changes you will see in your child. Not just for children. It's for teens and adults as well. As an adult, the techniques and training provided by Master Lee has benefited me in so many ways. Clearer thought process, weight reduction, increased awareness, self reliance, and improved self-defense. Don't just take my word for it, call LMAA today and see for yourself! Jeffrey W Cameron

I am thoroughly pleased with the instruction that I receive at Reason Taekwondo. Before I moved to…read moreEugene, OR, I searched for a local dojang that was similar to the training that I had become accustomed to at other gyms. When I found one, I thought that it was decent enough. However, with each passing week, I loathed having to train there. After the awareness of the coronavirus and subsequent quarantine, I became certain that I would not return. I did not want to abandon my training; so when it was deemed safer to meet in-person with guidelines, I researched gyms. Reason Taekwondo is where I chose to train. The instructor is knowledgeable, provides rigorous warm-ups, and is professional. This dojang is not as large as the one in Eugene, but it is clean, neat, and adequate. My 120 mile round-trip is worth the drive.

From the owner: At Reason's World Taekwondo Academy, our goal is to develop people with black belt attitudes, black…read morebelt hearts, and black belt abilities. We emphasize character qualities like respect, courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, leadership, self-confidence, goal-setting, and serving others by participating in various community service projects. We also work on developing muscular strength, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, agility, balance, coordination, and body fat reduction. And of course we train people in self-defense by teaching the Korean martial arts of Taekwondo and Hapkido. We also train with offensive weapons like nunchucks, combat sticks, and bo staff, as well as learn defensive strategies against weapons like knives and guns.

My 5* review is for Master Choe himself, as a student at a different studio he previously worked…read morefor (over the course of a few years). Master Choe was a phenomenal taekwondo instructor, always pushing me to reach my full potential, but in a positive, encouraging manner. My kids (grade schoolers at the time) also were instructed by him, and he was absolutely phenomenal with them as well. If you're looking into martial arts, and in the Wilsonville area, I highly encourage you check his studio out, as I've got no-doubt that you'll be quite happy you did.

My step-son attends taekwondo classes here twice a week, partially to give him an additional place…read moreto burn off some of his energy, but also to ingrain the concepts of respect, discipline, personal achievement and focus. I'm happy with the improvements I've seen in his behavior after class, even if most of the lesson's impact fades away within a day or two. Thankfully, another class is right there on the horizon! Tuition is reasonable, and there are plenty of available time slots for the various programs. Attendance in any time slot is *not* mandatory, at least for the Tiny Tigers program: you're free to bring your student to any available class for their program, throughout the week, depending on your schedule and flexibility. That's a nice touch that's not always offered at other dojangs and dojos. The staff at World Class Martial Arts somehow manage to corral more than two dozen kids at the same time, hold their attention for a half hour, and even impart some lessons (both physical and mental), with a reasonable amount of success. Sure, sometimes a child (often mine! haha!) will require some individual attention to get them to follow instructions and get them back on track, but the "sabom" (instructors) here are quick to notice distracted kids and move to intercept them, often dividing the troublemakers into groups separate from the more attentive students, and giving them personalized instruction. It's a good system, and it works! Gam sa ham nida!

Teaching respect, patience and other life skills all through Taekwondo. We looked into other martial arts types in the area (jiu jitsu, mixed) but our son was not interested in them. World Class Martial Arts Taekwondo was the winner for us. Their space is pretty fixed in size, but I wish the changing area was organized better. There is always lots of congestion in this area making it hard to get into and out of uniform. Due to rain and cold we prefer to change there than to wear the uniform in the weather and in the car.

All of our kids take TaeKwonDo, one of them takes both TKD and Bong Soo Han Traditional Hapkido. We have noticed improvement in each of them in their own ways. The programs here have improved and challenged our kids physically, mentally and emotionally, as each are at different levels in their life. They are finding it rewarding to engage and focus with the program. The programs are taught separately. The hapkido program is intense and fun. This program teaches falling, joint locks and throws in a self defense manner. All of the traditional hapkido philosophical principals like non-resistance and circular motion and the water principle are integrated into the program. Overall its been an excellent experience for kids and adults with learning new skills, improving fitness, building family togetherness, morale, commitment and motivation.

In the beginning we were very satisfied. But then, our son's interests changed to music. We were…read morenot allowed to end our contract for black belt classes. My son absolutely detested going to class but we made him go because of our contract. We tried to explain this to Grand Master Bettencort. The response always went back to the contract we signed. We explained that with our limited family budget ( my husband is permanently disabled) we felt our funds would be better spent helping our son pursue his music and band interests. We were lead to believe that Bettencourt's was not about the money, but about the kids doing something they are compassionate about. We finally quit paying and were sent to a collection agency. We paid them to protect our credit, but only to protect our credit. A word of advice, if your child is interested in classes here, do not sign a contract

When I was 17, I was touched inappropriately/in a sexual way by one of the masters here during a training. While many students witnessed it, the master faced no disciplinary actions.

My parents spent around $20,000 on my tuition here, because I was a student for more than ten years. We were disgusted with what happened.
