    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.

    Summer camp review. The programs and counselors are amazing and deserve 5 stars. However, the…read moreprogram director does not. I spoke to Dallas in the spring and explained that my six-year-old daughter has moments of high emotion and might need extra support. I let him know I was available at a moments notice to give her my support if needed. After a lengthy conversation I was assured she would be welcome. She went for almost two weeks and loved it. Then one morning she had a meltdown because she was sad her friend was in a different group, and she needed extra emotional support from the counselors. I was called to come back, which I did immediately. When I arrived she was in the hallway talking to a counselor and looked like she'd been crying. I thanked the counselor and took my daughter to a room where there were art supplies so we could talk and draw while she worked through her feelings. Dallas came in and said that it had required several counselors to give her support and they didn't have the resources for that. Because of the previous conversation we'd had in the spring, I took it more as a complaint rather than she was being kicked out - my fault, I guess. When she calmed down and wanted to go back in, I took her back to where the kids were playing and she rejoined the program. As I was leaving I ran into Dallas and told him what was happening. At that point he said no, she needs to leave, we don't have the resources to support her. There was no kindness, no second chances. He just kicked a six-year-old out. I had to go get her and drag her out while she sobbed and asked why she wasn't allowed to stay. I wouldn't wish the heartbreak and rejection my daughter felt that day on anyone. I emailed Dallas to remind him of the conversation we'd had in the spring, and told him I was disappointed with the lack of care and kindness shown to my daughter. It's been almost a week and he's never responded. I pulled my older child from the camp, and I don't think we'll return. My son keeps asking why they let kids who bully and hit other children stay, but kicked out my daughter. I have no good answer.
