While WTA is very active on social media, we personally believe that genuine word-of-mouth and…read morestudent success speak louder than promotional efforts. Unfortunately, we also felt a lack of personal connection and encouragement from leadership unless a student was already achieving top results. In our experience, meaningful engagement and motivation should be consistent for all students, regardless of their current performance level. We also encountered a culture that felt exclusive and, at times, unwelcoming--especially between different locations. This, combined with high costs (including additional fees for competition participation), made us question the overall value. Since transitioning to a new dojang, we've already seen a positive change in our child's confidence and enthusiasm. While we wish we had made the move sooner, we're grateful to have done so now. We hope this feedback is taken constructively and helps improve the experience for future students and families.

Slightly biased as my husband runs a few mixed martial arts classes here, but I must say, this is…read moremy favorite place to work out. There is something for everyone, but Crossfit classes are my favorite...it can be catered to different strengths, and is the best workout, not to mention the time flies by and no class is the same. The owner and instructors are fun, friendly, and push you to do your best. I highly suggest if you are looking for something different, to check it out. It's also a very nice, clean facility, with a small section of bleachers for parents to watch their kids (or the large flatscreens hanging from the ceiling). Men, if you are interested in MMA, go check it out, there are beginners classes with all ages attending.

I would highly recommend this place, because my son has learned to concentrate better, manners have improved, self confidence has improved,he gets exercise in and it gets him off the couch and moving.. also the boot camps etc are a good work out too.. when I was doing them I could feel the burn and i did end up loosing about 1 pound a week while I was doing it .. if I would have ate better I would have lost more each week :) Master Bishop has been great!!!

And test for their stripes (you need 4 stripes to test for the next belt color). And learn to do push-ups. It's been great. They're more disciplined now than when we started. Learned perseverance.

I had twin boys, aged 9 that attended Dojo Karate Waconia/Minnetonka for about 2 1/2 years. They…read morewere very disappointed that they had to dis-enroll for Covid related reasons. I wanted to share what we liked about Dojo and why we'll miss it: 1. Any great experience starts with great people. Master Cote was a great leader for the kids and she genuinely cared about her students. 2. Master Cote has produced some amazing athletes. My kids were always impressed by the abilities of the older kids. I don't think they'll ever stop talking about the time one student did a backflip. 3. Both of my boys absolutely loved the head instructor. He had great patience with all the kids and seemed like one of the most trustworthy people I've ever met. 4. I thought the pricing was extremely fair and Master Cote very easy to work with in regards to tuition. 5. My kids really enjoyed the Dojo tournaments and I thought they were very well run. Something I didn't think about when we started is, because of the size of Dojo with their multiple locations, they are able to put on large events like that. 6. I always like the different community focused initiatives that Dojo participated in. Food drives and school supply drives were great ways to engage the kids; and Dojo always had a special event to show their appreciate for the kids. Those are just some of the reasons that quickly come to mind. We're disappointed that it had to end, but my boys still walk around the house doing their moves.

Any TaeKwonDo master at his rank should be registered with the Kukkiwon TaeKwonDo Headquarters. He is very unprofessional and the experience we had going there for years was that He preys on female students romantically and grooms them.
