    Class Schedule IF there was a lot more children attending. As of now, you can pick any day and time for the 30 minute session .
    T T.

    After binge-watching "Cobra Kai" on Netflix, my son started copying the karate moves. Since he was almost 4 years old, I decided it was time for him to look for an activity he would like; so we started off with Tae Kwon Do. Luckily, we found this place that was open and very close to where we live. They have a special going on right now; 4 weeks for $59.99 PLUS the uniform included. My son was very short and small, so they gave us the smallest size they had and we went to get it altered. After 4 weeks trial is almost over, you will sit down with them and talk about the pricing and etc. and if you would like your child to continue or not. Because there aren't many children attending due to Covid, you can basically pick any day or time for the 30 minute session. Keep in mind that the 4 week trial is only twice a week. After the 4 week trial, I believe you can go everyday after you sign your child up. When my son first walked into the studio on his first day, his first words to me was, "Mommy, where are the other kids?" LOL! I couldn't stop laughing. My son pictured Tae Kwon Do to be like the show Cobra Kai where a bunch of children are standing around in a row waiting to fight each other. But no, it was basically one-on-one with just the Master and the child. I think this was one of the main reason why my son didn't want to go back. He wanted to learn Tae Kwon Do with other children. Luckily, on his 3rd week, another older child joined him. He loved it! When I asked if he wanted to go back, be actually said YES! Kids are mandatory to wear their masks during their 30 minute session. Your child will take off their shoes and put it in a cubby before entering the floors to start practicing. PRO TIP: make sure your child wears those socks with the grips on the bottom. My son learned the hard way because he accidentally slipped and started crying. We immediately bought gripped socks on Amazon and it arrived on time for his next class the following 2 days later. We had two Masters who had taught my son so far. Master Kim is the older guy who you might have a hard time understanding, and Master Phillip who is the younger guy that has been teaching my son since. They both wear masks at all times and both have a lot of patience with my 4 year old son. As of now, we do not have any issue with parking since there aren't many children and plus, it shares the parking lot with other businesses. But I can see parking being an issue in the future when this place has more children signing up.

    I took 4 years of martial arts when I was a teenager and my son (age 14 and now with 7 years…read moreexperience) is a black belt in karate. When we started looking in this area for what will become his new dojo, we were open to starting over in a new style, so we read all the reviews and websites for all the local instructors and then visited the advanced classes of the 9 within our acceptable travel distance. Both of us being experienced and knowing the path to black belt can take many years, we committed to really finding the right instructor/school for him by training with the 4 of those 9 that we liked best. SK Taekwondo was the fourth of the four we've tried and where we've ended up staying. Due to Covid, we waited over a year to try this place because they weren't allowing parents to watch while Covid was in full swing. We've been here for over 10 months now and it was definitely worth the wait. After a couple months of my son training here, my wife even signed up! SK Taekwondo is 5 stars all the way and I have so many good things to say about it. When we first started reviewing martial arts schools in the area, our intuition said SK would be the place we'd end up at because the classes looked like they were super fun and the training facility was huge and beautiful. It had great parking and a large area with seating for parents to watch. The little kids' classes were especially fun to watch with a dedication to both fun and discipline that was clear in both the joy of the students while training and the speed and enthusiasm they all demonstrated with lining up, doing drills and exercises, enthusiastically answering "yes sir!" as they did, etc. The school also has systems in place to support their younger students in getting good grades and being responsible and respectful at home. For the adult classes, which start at age 13, the same level of discipline and fun are encouraged. Every class consists of a warmup and stretching followed by technique training. Almost all exercises are partner exercises, so my son got to know other students quickly and there is a real sense of community. The instructors are all very knowledgeable and absolutely wonderful people, kind and supporting, friendly and welcoming to both students and parents like me who are just watching, and clearly dedicated to the sport. Instructors rotate and the classes are quite different each time, which our whole family enjoys. In the 10+ months we've been training, I can say that not a single class has been the same as any other. The foundational skills are included in everything and forms are usually 5-10 minutes at the end. The rest is really varied but always interesting and a great workout. Equipment like kicking pads, agility ladders, cones, etc. are used frequently and this makes the classes even more fun and diverse. They play music during the warmups and drills and that adds to the fun and energy of the environment too. Fridays are dedicated to sparring, testing is every couple months, and they have a "Black Belt Club" option where you can pay up front for unlimited classes until you get your black belt. This is the best price and what my son and wife both ended up doing. Estimated time to achieve black belt is 2.5 to 3 years if you are dedicated and attend class at least a couple times a week. This place is absolutely amazing and I could not recommend it higher. If you are looking for you or your child, come in and watch or try the actual class you/they will be in. Take advantage of whatever intro offer SK is offering at the time and experience it for yourself. If you do, I'm confident you'll be as happy and impressed as we have been!

    Now that I am reading all the reviews it all makes better sense to me. Yes, my grandkids didn't…read morelike it here either. Lots of favoritism and unfair treatment. Masters used to select student of the month and other swords. My grandkids would never ever see any positive reinforcement or recognition from anyone there. Lastly they didn't wanted to go any longer. I wish I had anything positive to add.

    My 6 year old son has been a student here for a year and a half. The instructors and staff are…read moreextremely courteous and friendly. Master Shin is usually the instructor when we attend the classes. He has patience with the kids, thoroughly explains all the steps and can be strict to the children when needed. As a parent, I appreciate an instructor stepping in and reiterating my son home values and philosophy of what kids no longer have these days (such as trust, integrity, confidence, and focus). The students also learn about home rules, how to show respect to one another and most importantly to family members. It sounds cheesy but after moving up to a green belt, I have noticed tremendous maturity and focus on my child's part. My son loves attending the classes (2 times/week) as well as his sparring class (1/week). He enjoys running around with warm-up exercises, learning his forms and learning self-defense techniques. Each month there is a belt test in which children will be tested their forms to go onto the next high belt. TKD is just like any other extra curricular activity (tennis, basketball and piano). If you don't practice, you will never get good at your sport or talent. As for my son, he knows practicing and achieving a new belt makes him feel confident. He understands that every time he works hard for something, the result is rewarding. I can't say if the cost for TKD class is expensive or not. I can only say it is worth it since there are 2 classes offered/week and a free sparring class that is included ( one time fee of $175 for equipment). This week he will be going to his first TKD tournament. Win or not, it will be a good experience for him to see how other kids practice and do well on their forms. I have to say after a year of TKD, his footwork and coordination has improved along with his maturity level.

    My 10-year-old son has been attending K Taekwondo for just over a year, and we couldn't be happier…read morewith the experience! Grand Master Lim and ALL the instructors are amazing--patient, encouraging, and truly dedicated to helping each student grow both in skill, confidence and discipline. We've seen such positive changes in our son's focus, discipline, and self-esteem since he started. The classes are well-organized, energetic, and fun, while still maintaining a strong sense of respect and structure. It's clear that the school cares deeply about each child's progress, both on and off the mat. If you're looking for a Taekwondo program that builds character as much as it teaches martial arts, K Taekwondo is the place to be!

    I have 2 kids (9 and 8) who wanted to learn martial arts. I tried researching Karate vs Taekwondo…read morevs Hapkido and really could not decide what would be best. We randomly stopped by K Taekwondo on a Saturday (they were doing belt testing) and the kids loved what they saw. They have a really nice intro package (something like 6 weeks and free uniform for 40 dollars) and the kids enjoyed it from the get go. They have been going now for 3 months and overall the experience has been great. The instructors are great and the Grand Master is amazing. Kids look forward to the weekly classes (2 classes per week) and we are impressed by all they have learned to date. Would definitely recommend, for kids and teens and adults alike (they have a separate adults class).
