We transferred to the area a few years ago. My child attended another TKD center and had already…read moreestablished rank. USTKD Center made him start from scratch, which was a bit of a jolt. My child attended US Taekwondo center for three years. However, the rates are horrible and you must sign a contract which includes certain programs, such as a Black Belt program (which is what we signed up for). They fail to mention that the contract rates do not include testing fees or other "supply" fees for boards and specialty classes. They are far more interested in making money than providing outstanding instruction. The first year was great. My child loved it. Then several instructors left and there seemed to be some conflict within the school. They were unable to keep a full staff and relied heavily on the new black belts to volunteer to instruct classes. My child started having medical issues which caused them to miss class. Upon joining the center, the Grandmaster was informed of our child's medical history, which was extensive. They were fully aware that we may miss class. I constantly had to remind the instructors of my child's limitations. I often felt that their lack of concern was insulting. I was told that we were missing too many classes and we must attend more. I always kept the instructors informed about my child's medical problems, but they never seemed to take me seriously. This was also around the time my contract was due for renewal. It took my child over a year to make it to red high belt (without missing a lot of classes) and they wanted to push black belt testing in 5 months due to my contract expiring. Later that month, we were informed that my child had to have surgery. I went into the center to drop off a letter from my child's doctor explaining the situation and to speak to the Grandmaster. I was told by the other instructors that they were not aware of my child's medical history and that it was up to the Grandmaster to determine whether my child would be "accepted back into the school". If this is a family run business, I would expect a little more compassion for a dedicated student who was in need of support. Their incredible lack of empathy was the straw that broke the camels back. Not only did we walk away from the school (with a very disappointed child) we did not renew our contract. My child never received their black belt as promised and all the hard work they put into TKD was for nothing. The rates are horrible. The lack of professionalism is mind blowing. If I pay the kind of money expected for superior instruction from a Olympic winning coach, I would expect more empathy and determination to be more family oriented. Research the BBB and local court records before you sign a contract with this company. I wish someone would have told me prior to all the time and money spent just to break my child's heart.

The Grandmaster is one of the kindest women I have ever met. When our family was going through a difficult time she helped us in many ways. Her kindness is only surpassed by her skill and wisdom. The school is well staffed and often my daughter was able to receive one on one training or shared an instructor with only one or two other students. The school has a well developed curriculum which makes it easy to know where we are and what to expect. It even involves vocabulary and character skills. The facility is well kept and cleaned daily. From a parent perspective, I really enjoyed the school. Both my daughter and me felt like we were apart of a family. We made friends that we would hang out with outside of the school. My only regret is that I did not take classes with my daughter because that would have been great as a bonding activity and good for me. This school is well worth the investment. I wish I could give the school another five stars.

I choose this school because of the ATA affiliation and because of great word of mouth about the instructors who teach there. I noticed this is not the same programs as ATA did way back then, but now they are geared for assisting with mental and physical wellbeing. I enjoy the warrior side of training combat sparring and learning krav maga! It is like a breath of fresh air to see a Sport/Martial Art that puts a special focus on life skills, such as; self-esteem, respect, honesty, communication, discipline. This helps teachers, as well as parents, help raise children to be healthy functioning adults... It is also a great self awareness and esteem for those adults, who need the reassurance through their effort on what they can accomplish!! They have an awesome program for children, Tiny Tigers program, my son, who has ADHD, was in this program it did him wonders for listening and ability to focus... It helped with his self confidence as he was different in school and was in different classes than mainstream and kids picked on him a lot.. he had a place to go where he felt he was good enough. I suppose I should post so you all can come and see for yourself and not spoil the fun... Ok, 1 more thing, the taekwondo kids here are awesome kids, because all the kids in their classes, like my son was, are treated just like everyone else.. the kids are having fun, exercising and learning to be great people.

No alcohol) they have a food truck on site, as well as a "dirty soda" stand. Flavored sodas with cream (very popular in Utah but slowly making their way to the east coast) as well as a first aid bungalow. Everyone gets a life vest but kids under 18 MUST wear theirs at all times! I like that rule! Keeps the kids safe. Of course the teens working there are certified lifeguards just in case! They also offer scuba classes/lessons at the quarry. Would I come back? YES! Maybe one day I would try the courses and swim or paddle board but the go around it was nice relaxing and letting the kids live carefree in the lake!

They have around 20 horses at the barn. The road to the parking area is unkept and has lots of bumps so low-clearance cars might struggle to get there. They are reasonably priced, $40 per person for about an hour long ride. We booked by calling ahead a few days before we wanted to ride. I would say this barn is good for adult riders, but would NOT recommend it for groups with children or individuals who are nervous around horses as the male owner can be a bit stern and very direct. They also don't provide helmets for riders to wear nor did I see any that were available upon request. The horses are well-behaved for the most part, the helpers are all nice, friendly, and talkative. The trail is flat and through a wooded area, but has a clear path that the leader takes you on. Quick Tips: Bring sunscreen and sunglasses, wear closed-toed shoes and long pants (even in the summer), bring cash (they don't take card as far as I know), be on time or early, bring water, and screenshot or download directions/map because cell service can be limited.

Master Kim and Pro Taekwondo is the best school in the area. If you want to learn or want your children to learn the traditional martial arts of Taekwondo, this is the place to come. Master Kim is strict but fair. He teaches in a very traditional way but this instills many core values into the children and students. They constantly try to keep the children engaged and entertained by hosting sleep over events, camping trips, holiday parties, summer camps, and much more. The facility is extremely clean and state of the art. I would highly recommend adults and their children to attend here if they are considering martial arts. You won't be disappointed. read more
