This is a long post but I'm trying to condense 7+ years into one post. I have taken every action to…read moretry to resolve my issues /concerns with Master Giambi but I am left with no option but to leave a negative review. My three children had concurrently attended HCT for 7+ years with one child 'testing and receiving' her first and even second degree black belts from HCT. She started when she was in kindergarten and was a student in HCT's first class of black belts. Her goal was to one day become an instructor there. Due to many adult teachers either leaving or being fired from HCT and being replaced by student instructors, we decided to go elsewhere. The communication and administration at HCT were not going well. As my daughter wanted to continue with Taekwondo and compete, we went to another school. When it was time to enroll, we informed the new school that she was a second degree black belt. The new school requested to see her official black belt card and certificate. This was when I realized that something was wrong. You see, we never received any of the official documentation. When she 'tested' for her first and second degree black belts, I was informed that she would be 'registered' as a black belt. I naturally assumed that she would be registered in an official database at either Kukiwon or World Taekwondo Federation or some global TKD organization. This wasn't the case so I emailed Master Giambi three times requesting to have a face-to-face meeting. He didn't respond to any of my emails. Then, in between kids coming home and driving them to different activities, I drove to HCT in hopes of meeting with Master Giambi. Another adult teacher informed me that he was only available between 4-5PM so I went there to speak with him and the first two times, he wasn't there. Each time I went, I asked the instructor to have him call me so that we can schedule a meeting and I wouldn't have to drive there. No call was received. Then, today, on my third try to meet him, he was there and I was able to ask my questions about HCT's black belt testing. His demeanor was not helpful at all. I was trying to give him to the benefit of the doubt, emailed 3 times, drove to his school 3 times and I left frustrated, angry and disappointed. Apparently, the expensive black belt testing fee is only for their school. The records of students receiving black belts are not registered anywhere outside of HCT. I asked him what we were paying for through the fee and he simply said it was for their black best testing. He even said that they didn't even 'need' the official card or certificate. If I had known all this from the start, I would not have placed my children at HCT. If you are just looking for a place for your children to exercise, this place would fit the bill but if you are looking long-term and to have your children get their black belt and beyond, I would advise you to reconsider signing your kids up at HCT.

She has met a lot of friendly kids and has gained so much confidence, pride, and athletic skill since beginning her lessons in August. She works out HARD, but willingly does her very best. Classes are inexpensive. We pay under $160 per month and that gives her two classes and one sparring lesson per week. That's 12 classes per month. I highly recommend checking this place out. I've seen all age groups: Younger kids, tweens and teens. I think there are some adult classes, but we've not gone to them (she is much too young). There is a team, but she's new and wasn't confident to try out for the team just yet. Maybe next year!

It's been five years now. The taekwondo gym has grown incredibly. When my kids started here, I…read moredidn't realize it was fairly new (literally first year). Many of the students were from Balli's waiting for him to open. Now, as a testament to Grand Master Ahn and his staff, there is probably 60 black belts (45 kids, about 15 teen/adults). Within those, probably about a dozen moving up to second degree black belts. The color belt classes have anywhere between 15-20 kids. Although retention for martial arts is especially challenging (especially high school age), he has done significantly well as is demonstrated by the sheer numbers. What to expect from class: 5-6 minutes stretching, 20 minutes focused on group workouts (cardio, drills, etc). The last 20 minutes is focused on belt specific requirements. Tuesday and Thursday afternoons have Women's Self Defense classes, which include the TKD belt requirements and self defense techniques. Their drills include grappling, breaking holds, and knife defense skills. These are generally taught by Master Anthony. Along the line if additional options available from K-Taekwondo include K-Tribe (morning workouts which varies daily: includes yoga, HIIT, outdoor boot camp, and barre). This is with instructor Gail. Taekwondo purists, this is both in my to scoff at. Gail's yoga workouts are no joke, she makes black belts cry.
