My 4 and 6 year-old grandsons love this place. Not only do they attend regular after-school…read moreclasses, but also they have attended the summer camp. At WOW, the kids are treated with respect and kindness and are taught to respect and be kind to others in return. They also learn teamwork and listening skills. Master Fleming and Master Brayden are so loved by the kids, as is Master Grandma. If you want your kids to learn respect for others, discipline designed for their age group and physical agility, this is the place for them. Thank you WOW team for your exemplary work with kids! Taekwondo!!

A few years ago a close friend said her son was going to test out a taekwondo class and asked if I…read morewould want to take my daughter to try it. She absolutely loved it and we joined (for a year) after that first class. She had previously been in dance for 3 years and it just wasn't her thing. She almost always wants to go to class and has made friends there. Mr G is AMAZING. He is patient as can be with the kids but doesn't let them walk over him and ensures they're respectful (not interrupting, focusing, polite to others, saying sir and mam.) He is soon testing for his 6th degree black belt. The kids love him. The cost isn't bad at all considering your children can go 5-6 days a week most weeks if you want them to. My daughter went 4-5 days a week for a while, we did zoom classes during Covid, and have been back in person for a while now. We moved from Southpark where we were 10 mins from class and now are 25-30 WITHOUT traffic and it's been a year since moving and I still can't imagine switching her. We usually only go 2 days a week now usually because of the drive, but my daughter practices a lot at home too. Initially, equipment needed is minimal; however, if they're going to stick with it, you should invest in the gear. She gets to test for her black belt in September!

The instructors are great with the children, even those who seem overly excited to be there (the one's who don't listen so well). The instructors are patient, and keep the sessions fun, but also manage to stay firm at the same time. In addition to being wonderful with the kids, they even remember each child's names --even after only seeing them once, which is quite impressive based on the amount of kids they have. The classes are a great size (our son is in the beginners class [he's 5]), which contains only about 5-6 kids per session. I highly recommend this place. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is simply because I have nothing else to baseline this experience from.

If you want your kids to unlock their potential with self confidence, determination and grit you bring them here. If you want them to just toughen up a bit you bring them here. Master Surendra knows every single one of his students not because he must, but because he cares for their well being. TKD is not something you do just for fun. Its a skill for life. You learn from everyone around you. The biggest thing for my child to learn and to carry with them through life is to respect themselves and above all else to be a respectful human being. Great job Master Surendra. Now lets make a push to be national competitors in all facets of this awesome sport.

As someone who recently relocated from a major city (LA) to Charlotte, I was hoping that the lore…read moreof "Southern hospitality" was accurate, but unfortunately, when dealing with a money hungry corporation regional location is irrelevant. We were solicited at a public park by an instructor and encouraged to come to a free class. The "class" ended up being a 20 minute one-on-one sales pitch by an instructor to my daughter. Knowing no one and being new to the area we thought it would be a good idea and were comforted by the 3 day cancellation policy. Literally, within 2.5 hours of returning home we realized being a double working parent home the hours of classes were not suitable for our schedule and I emailed WITHIN 3 HOURS OF SIGNING-UP that we would need to cancel immediately. While we did not receive any communication or receipt of cancellation, they were able to charge our credit card. My Husband went to the location the following day to confirm the cancellation and begin the refund policy and the instructor told him he could not grant a refund, that we had to contact the Manager and that Manager didn't even answer HIS calls on the weekend. (Which business wise, you shouldn't be open for operation if you are not supervised by a Manager.) Regardless, we called today (the following business day, a Monday) and were met with the Manager's mirrored response. Although we issued a cancellation WITHIN HOURS, that ATA the corporation, was receiving the funds, that the branch would see no part of that and that there was no refund. So...to you ATA, the capitalist corporation that has created loopholes in it's own policies inorder to gain profit at the loss of it's customer base; We are disappointed in your skewed policy statement, let down by your manipulative agenda and false community mission and will surely NOT endorse you or any of your locations to anyone looking for a positive growth community for their children or selves. #ShopLocal

Were so great with the kids and kept them entertained the entire time. They showed tricks and wowed the guests, let each guest chop a board, and even helped the birthday boy cut his cake with a giant samurai sword. This will go down as my favorite birthday party for sure. I was so impressed with the two instructors. Although they were only 16 years old, you'd be hard pressed to find more engaging instructors. They seriously blew me away. Extremely well spoken and friendly, they remembered every single child name. They were welcoming, attentive, And even helped me set up. I think they even had all of the parents paying close attention to the instruction. And so many of the parents commented on how impressed they were as well. Such a fantastic job!!!

Everyone introduced themselves to me and I felt like part of the group before my first class was over. Since then I have worked hard and am now in my black belt apprenticeship. I am greatful for the work and time my Grand Master ( Dr. White ) and Sensei's have put into making me not only a good Martial Artist ,but a better person all the way around. You won't be able to walk onto any dojo floor and train with your grand master. It's been tough. Limits have pushed, but I am so greatful for every moment of it. This was suppose to be a challenge and it has been. I plan on always pushing and striving to reach that next level . With people like Shihan White behind me I know that will always be a possibility. I recommend Kenaki to anyone looking to try Martial Arts. The staff is wonderful and they work with children ages 3 and up. My own children take karate lessons at Kenaki, and I am very impressed with their growing self control and confidence they have obtained so far. Everyone get to try a class for free! Check them out!
