My son started taekwondo when he was 5 years old, in the Little Tigers program. We had tried other…read moremartial arts studios before and Master Henrich was by far the best instructor we had seen. He ran the entire class of 7-9 5 year olds all by himself. Other places had barely been able to contain smaller classes with more adults helping. He is able to keep the kids entertained and engaged while still having them learn the fundamentals and basics of taekwondo. All of the black belts/instructors have immense patience with all the students. They take time with each person to make sure they understand the techniques and skills they need to learn. My son and I now both take classes together and it has been an amazing experience to be able to learn side by side with him and watch him grow. I couldn't imagine a better place that I could have started this journey with my son, and we will continue for many years to come.

We have been taking our child to Fastkick for several years. Over time the Mr. Doering has become…read moremore and more disagreeable and down right mean. I have seen him as courteous to many and yet, others he treats god-awful. Plain mean and offensive comments. He has stated and considers himself "Master". To be treated like such including parents. Under NO circumstances question his authority or practices. You will be on his s*** list from that point on. And he will not let up on you until you are out of his business. Something is wrong. Something is not going right in his life because this is not an enjoyable place to come to anymore. Tired of him taking it out on some of the parents and the kids. He must have a lot of money if he can afford to treat people like this and lose the business.

Student-centered: a perfect description of FastKick. My daughter has not only learned the…read morephysical skills of Taekwondo, but she has thrived outside of class through development of personal responsibilities and safety skills, such as formulating an escape plan in case of a house fire. FastKick is ALWAYS promoting the growth of the child - physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally. The Doerings are true professionals who want the best for their students. As a parent, I want to surround my daughter with adults that model perseverance and integrity. The Doerings are these adults. I trust them with my daughter, and we view them as extended family.

Being in Pruters taekwondo was the WORST decision I ever made. The teachers are rude and they try…read moreto humiliate the students. I am an experienced taekwondo player with over 9 years of experience. I placed as state champion and top #5 in the country multiple times in Mexico. Still, they treated me as if I was a beginner - saying my technique wasn't good. Furthermore, they made me spar a white belt who was way taller, older and heavier than me (I'm a girl), before I was able to purchase updated gear. So, all I had was my headgear and chest plate - definitely wasn't a fair fight and could have been dangerous.Also, I bought gear from them and it took more than a month to arrive. Every time I tried to contact with them, they ignored me until I went to the establishment and still they were disrespectful and demeaning. My host parent was so upset about the way I was being treated, they intervened and told the Pruters not to talk to a minor like that. If you're considering this studio, my advice is to be careful and think twice before trying this school.

The other classes may be more ideal for older kids but I would not recommend the class for 3 and 4 year-olds. We signed up my 3 year-old through the LS Parks & Rec for a Intro to Martial arts class with Pruter's. I was excited for him to begin, because he loves martial art shows, like Kung Fu Panda and Power Rangers, plus he pretend plays by copying the moves from these shows. Unfortunately, our excitement was extinguished because we had a bad experience. 1. The class was too crowded with not enough instructors. When we began, the class was large but they had enough instructors to maintain the class. They would begin with a drill for the entire group, then split off into smaller groups (about 2 -3 an instructor). After the first few classes, they did not do this, which made it more difficult for each kid, since they did not get the attention needed. 2. Master Pruter talked too much about points and tournaments for half the class. The last class my son attended, which made my decision to remove him, was when Master Pruter talked for half the class on how to get points through Tae Kwon Do Tournaments. This, in my opinion, is not appropiate for 3 and 4 year olds because they do not understand, have the patience, or should even be considering tournaments. This class should be to teach them the basics, based on fun drills to keep them interested, not how to win a tournament. 3. No discipline. Martial Arts is about discipline but none was given at Pruter's. The first class they asked parents not to intervene because they are capable of disciplining our children. That did not happen. They let the kids reek havoc, where I had to intervene to discipline my own son because they would not stop him from acting up. 4. No time between classes. Because the classes where scheduled one after the other, they ran into each other. They needed at least 5 - 10 minutes between classes, like every other Tae Kwon Do place does. No time to talk to the Master, pay for classes because another class was starting up. My husband is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and was appalled by how disorganized this place was...most of the instructors were not black belts or trained. They had kids, 10 year olds who were black belts, instructing, which I did not think was appropriate either.

The kids love it, the staff is amazing and the instructors are incredible! Everyone is positive and encouraging and my kids learn so much more than just self defense. They learn how to respect others, how to work toward achieving a goal, how to cope with a loss, and how to cheer on others when they are getting to do something they may have wanted to do themselves. I love the confidence and skills it gives them! I can't say enough positive things about the instructors and staff at Elite. They make it a very special place to be. If you are looking for an activity for yourself or your child I would highly recommend taekwondo at Elite Martial Arts!

I was immediately reminded of starting off as a 24 year old white belt at Choon Lee Academy. In the day we had to go 6 Days/week. After 1st week of extreme stretching & training, with both hamstrings 100% pulled and weeping blood that turned my skin in back black.. I came to class and told Master Lee that I could no longer move. He smiled and said: "DAHH-VEE... You Pain TOO EASY!!" Then kicked my rear back onto the mat for daily 4 hour training. That was 31 years ago. TO THIS DAY I can still bend over and place both hands flat on the ground in front of me, touching my face to my knees. Master Lee's training stays with you a lifetime. Graduate School interrupted my training and I never continued. But I made sure all 3 of my sons trained until Black Belt. My littlest, 10 yrs old just received his black belt this April. He actually removed the AKTA patch from my 1984 Uniform and wore it on his during his Black Belt test. Now, all 3 of them are kicking my injured hamstring saying: "DAHH-DEE... You Pain TOO EASY!!!!"
