UPDATE: I'm changing my original review to 5 stars…read more I want to be fair to this business and acknowledge when I don't have the complete picture. After my original review, Master Joo reached out with a very detailed explanation of the account history and provided a copy of the membership agreement that I signed. After reviewing it, I realized that I had misunderstood portions of the membership and cancellation terms. There was still some miscommunication surrounding the billing that caused my initial frustration, particularly seeing two payments processed in August. However, they explained that one was the August payment and the other was an outstanding April payment. More importantly, Master Joo went above and beyond to resolve the situation. They agreed to refund both August payments and the freeze fee, cancel the membership effective August, waive September, and ensure there would be no additional charges. I could have simply deleted my original review, but I think it's more appropriate to leave this update because businesses should receive the same public recognition when they make something right that they receive when a customer is unhappy. I appreciate Master Joo's professionalism and willingness to work with my family. Based on how this was ultimately handled, I've changed my rating to 5 stars. *******ORIGINAL 1 STAR REVIEW****** Parents, please read the membership and cancellation terms very carefully before signing up. My son attended one class, and in early July I contacted World Champion Taekwondo to cancel his membership. When I was charged $169 afterward, I didn't dispute it because he had received a uniform and I felt that was fair. Unfortunately, the charges did not stop. I was charged again, and I have now had two charges hit my account in August. When I contacted the business, instead of addressing my concern about being charged twice in the same month, I received an explanation stating that the membership had a four-month minimum commitment, frozen months don't count toward that commitment, and there is then a 60-day cancellation notice requirement. They are now telling me September will be the final month -- meaning additional billing after I attempted to cancel in July following my son's single class. I understand that businesses have contracts and cancellation policies. My issue is the way this has been handled and the continued billing, particularly the two August charges that were not addressed in their response. In my experience, these billing and cancellation practices feel predatory and extremely consumer-unfriendly. I would strongly encourage other parents to read every provision of the membership agreement, especially the minimum commitment, freeze, automatic payment, and cancellation provisions, before providing a card. I've requested copies of the signed agreement, freeze paperwork, a complete payment history, an explanation of the two August charges, and written confirmation of exactly when the billing will stop. I'll update this review if the company resolves the duplicate charge and handles the cancellation appropriately.

It's always a happy and positive environment and even though the room can get full during sessions, the children still get the attention they need and are pushed to their limit by the masters. The masters are respectful and attentive with every child and use music, sometimes games and activities to motivate the children to do their best and have fun while in training. Bringing our child has been one of the best decisions we have made and we are really happy with the progress and are excited to see what will become of him in the near future with this excellent team!

All have been very professional and inspiring/motivating to my 6yr old girl. She loves going. We joined with a special they were having, then they notified us when our days covered under the special were about to be over. They gave a paper with different pay plan options (pre-pay full year, month/month, three-month commitment, etc) if you so choose to continue. They have 3 rooms they rotate the class through, each with it's own focus. I love this place. The only downside for me is that of the 5 instructors, only 1 speaks English as a first language, and 1 other instructor is ok speaking English. The other 3, I feel like I need a translator. I understand tae kwon do has Korean roots, however... Being a business in a city where English is spoken dominantly, bilingual instructors should be a priority.

Our two daughters have been attending United Family Taekwondo since the summer of 2021, and the…read moregrowth we've seen in both of them has been incredible. They both started as white belts and are now black belts. Our oldest is now a 2nd Degree Black Belt and serves as a Junior Instructor. Through her journey at UFT, we've watched her confidence, discipline, and character grow tremendously. Master Kim, Master Daniel, and Grand Master Lee have all been such positive influences in her life. It makes us so proud to see her continue pushing forward while also giving back by helping younger students learn and grow. Beyond self-defense, United Family Taekwondo has helped her develop self-esteem, confidence, endurance, perseverance, and a strong sense of self-worth. These are invaluable life skills that will continue to benefit her for years to come. Our youngest daughter is now a black belt as well. She started when she was only 5 years old and has come such a long way. In the beginning, she struggled with paying attention in group settings and required one-on-one instruction. Master Kim worked patiently with her individually to help her catch up and build confidence. Today, she is sharp, confident, funny, and absolutely loves going to TKD. She also loved being part of the after-school care program with Ms. Jen, during the time when we needed after-school care. As parents with a very busy schedule, we truly feel the time and money invested in training at UFT has been more than worth it. Our children have gained so much more than martial arts skills -- they've learned respect, discipline, confidence, and strong core values. Above all else, the Masters and Grand Master Lee consistently teach students to love, respect, and honor their parents, each other, and others. Teachings like these are rare nowadays. We recently extended both of our daughters' contracts for another two years because they genuinely love being there, and that alone speaks volumes about the environment UFT has created. Thank you to all of the instructors at United Family Taekwondo for your dedication, patience, and hard work. We are truly grateful for everything you do!

The facility is very spacious, with large mirrors along one wall that make the studio feel even more open and professional. I learned that Master Kim is a 7th-degree black belt, and that his brothers also operate schools in other cities. Their focus goes beyond martial arts training to emphasize discipline, leadership development, and strong character building. What stood out most was Master Kim's genuine heart for the community. He actively supports local schools, book fairs, and even cancer patients through donations and outreach. The after-school program is especially helpful for families, providing care and structure for students after their Taekwondo lessons. Master Kim also makes a special effort to support students from below poverty level families by offering opportunities they might not otherwise have. In addition, he runs an intensive summer program from May through July, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., which reflects a deep commitment to both education and mentorship. Master Kim's passion for Taekwondo, dedication to community service, and commitment to developing leadership in young students are truly exemplary. This is clearly one of the long-standing martial arts studios in Duluth, and it left a very strong and positive impression.

I am appalled that her behavior has continued unchecked for so long. If I have my way my child wouldn't be there her mother seems to think this is a good school but I'm my opinion it is not safe for children to be there. That woman spends more of her time trying to get every one to ogle her backside than actually training the students. I don't know what the owner is thinking or if he just doesn't care about the schools reputation nor the students there. Do yourself a favor and either go to a different Kim brothers or better yet a completely different school. You want to be called a master but have no idea how to lead by example, you have zero self respect let alone professionalism, you are not a master, you are a grifter.
