Profit above Quality every time…read more The Amity location of WC TKD is below poor. if I could have chosen no stars, I would. I brought my child there 2.5 years ago. During that time, they have "lost" him twice (the first time he flagged down a stranger on the sidewalk and asked to use his phone to call me.) He has broken his arm. And still, they flag me down on the sidewalk asking for additional fees for equipment, belt advancements, tournaments, and more. Once you child advances to black belt protest, classes are Available only three times per week - and the Saturday morning class is frequently cancelled so they can hold more profitable sessions. So, be prepared to move everything else in your life to accommodate their whims. Parents are not permitted to stay inside the dojo during classes, (so god knows what, if anything good, your child is learning for $250 per month plus extra fees), relegating you to sitting in your car for a 40 minutes session, or shopping at one of the filthy stores in this strip center. Training is "get them through," style, with no character or learning around the craft itself. "Masters" are high school and college students who function without leadership and just try to get commissions for extra charges. No one should take their children here. I am perpetually sorry I stayed as long as I did.

The students who attend are very dedicated and there is a very personalized, not "factory" environment. It feels like home. Paul trains minds as well as bodies and teaches self-discipline in a very fun way. Paul himself is constantly updating/upgrading his training with international masters, and brings in special guest experts to the Academy. Children are really respected. The classes are appropriately sized and he has very committed assistants. Wonderful opportunity!

I remembered my son going to UTC as a child. The people were always friendly and patient. I decided to sign up. It's always been a dream of mine to study some sort of marital art.

I'm so glad I'm doing this. All I can say is that if you're interested in Taekwondo stop by and speak with Master Kwak - you'll be glad you did. Five stars from me!!!

I don't know if the same teachers work there (at the time it was these two Olympic-level teachers that were phenomenal) but that year of learning Tae Kwon Do was one of the best and most important experiences/lessons of my life. Of course you learn the techniques, but they also taught me how to be respectful, discipline and be an overall good person (sounds cliche but it's true). I guess after looking at all the great reviews about 25 years after my experience with this place, their integrity has never wavered and I would recommend this place for sure. I think they also opened a new place in my hometown (next town over from Norwalk) New Canaan.
