Combination of arrogant and unattentative instructors make this place very, extremely, fucking…read moreannoying unwelcoming. Walked in with my child for a trial and no one greets us or asks who we are - that's fine... until wait NO ONE asked us if we joining the class or not. We just stood on the sideline for the duration of class without one instructor coming by to invite us to join. Or just acknowledge us. Instead they assumed we were spectators? TF I can't expect much with high schoolers trying to teach and trying to warm up new students. It's not a skill set possessed by many young adults but have the modicum of awareness to know you have someone new there. You can attempt to be a little inviting. You get none of that here. You can say it could have been an anomaly but I have been here twice with the same type of experience. Go somewhere else.

AMAZING place to learn Tae Kwon Do and keep fit. My children have been students of Master Kook for…read moreyears, first at their North Shore location, and now at their beautiful, spacious, bright, new East Van location. They offer classes for all levels and all ages and do everything they can to make you comfortable. Head Instructor, Master Woo, is kind, patient, crazy-amazing at TKD and FUNNY...the kids all gravitate to him, but also respect him at the same time (I have kept my kids in line with the simple phrase "What would Master Woo say right now?"). He is so good at what he does: keeping his students (young and old) motivated, keeping classes fun and informative, and instilling core values of discipline and respect. How he keeps a class of 20-25 children in check is beyond me, but he does it! Another gem is Program Director, GRACE! She is so good at making you feel welcome and at-home. She always has a smile on her face (it lights up the entire room) and she is always ready to do what she can to make your experience a good one, including swapping pants with you when your own pants are too short, so you don't feel like a complete moron (ahem, that was ME) during class. This is just one example of the many, many, things that Grace does to show you that she cares and wants you to be comfortable when you train. Everyone here, not just Master Woo and Grace, are fantastic instructors, each bringing their own uniqueness to how they teach. Never a dull moment, lots of laughs, being in better shape and a new extended family is what you will get if you train here. Can't say enough about how amazing everyone is!

There are some things that new parents and/or potential participants need to be aware of. We…read morereached out to see about the possibility of having our son join this program. We emailed and asked for some information on the pricing. I was sent an email regarding the pricing - in which the addition of the priced did not equal what the numbers actually indicated. In addition, when I asked about the price at no point in time was I told that after completing their "trial" class that we would only have 7 days to get the discounted rate (which was also not indicated on the first flyer that was sent to me. After I emailed them through their "contact us" button - I was spammed with emails and text messages stating that I have not yet booked our free "trial" class. I was getting multiple messages a day. Thinking that if i booked the free "trial" the messages (Emails and text messages) would stop - I went ahead and booked the class. The class consisted of us filling out a small booklet of paperwork. After which one of the instructors talked to my son and showed him a few moves. It was in no way a class - but more of a let's scrutinize whether or not you are worthy to be part of our private club. To me, a class would integrated with the other students. An opportunity to see how others like the program and to talk with them to see if it is worth it. After this "lesson" - I was provided a new booklet indicating that I only had 7 seven days to register at the discounted rate or it would spike up to almost $200 more - MONTHLY! When I read this - I was quite taken back and shocked. Had we known about this caveat we would have waited until we were closer to needing or wanting to be part of the program. When I emailed them about my dismay I was given no leeway I was giving no grace period. Instead I was told that maybe this was not the right fit for us and that we should look at Red Tiger or Tristar. MY CAUTION TO ANYONE LOOKING AT ENROLLING YOUR CHILD IN THIS PROGRAM IS TO WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE 7 DAYS AWAY FROM WANTING TO JOIN. This was extremely disappointing - especially as a past student of Tae Kwon Do from you younger years. They are obviously only in this business for the money and not the community.

This Taekwondo school changed my life. Not an exaggeration…read more I started going here in 2001. The instructors and fellow students were (and still are!) the nicest people and they helped me get fit, learn this martial art, and gain confidence in my everyday activities. Super supportive. Pushed me when I needed to be pushed. My physical health improved, but most importantly, so did my mental health. They taught me discipline and perseverance. I've had quite a few heath issues/injuries over the years, and so I had to stop for various periods of time. But I always come back - can't stay away for long! Life is better with OMAC in it. The people here are the best :)
