Sensei Sharon and Sensei Dennis run an excellent place for children to come and learn karate, and grow as people. The whole concept about growing in character and physical ability all together has been such a wonderful thing for our son. The Senseis who run the classes are honestly the kindest towards the children, and are truly helpful. They don't shame children for not being able to do things- but they do push them to get them to where they need to be in appropriate ways. They spend the time to work with the children- and there is never any downtime. Class goes from start to finish- packing in as many things as they can. Finally- we have a pretty difficult schedule- and there are enough class offerings to meet our needs. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place or even convey in words what it has been for us and our son. Thank you, Amerikick, for being such a wonderful place!

Having now visited several other martial arts schools, I can assure you that Cha's is an excellent place for you and your kids to learn a martial art. Here are just a few of the reasons: * Quality - Cha's provides great quality instruction. I have visited some schools where a 3rd or 4th Dan (degree) black belt would not have the skills of most 1st Dan black belts from Cha's. * Schedule - while many schools only offer classes 2 or 3 times a week, Cha's offers classes 6 days a week, and on many of those days it is possible to choose from 2 different class times (or attend both). This gives you flexibility for scheduling conflicts, and allows students interested in advancing quickly an opportunity to take many classes each week. Also, unlike many schools, Cha's offers Family classes where parents and kids can take classes together - which is a great bonding experience and it makes scheduling easier if everyone can go together. * International Recognition - Cha's teaches in accordance with the World TaeKwonDo Federation (WTF), and Cha's black belts come with a certificate from the World TaeKwonDo headquarters from Seoul, Korea. This means your blackbelt is officially recognized by other schools around the globe. As we found out, this is a real value if you need to relocate. Not only were schools that followed WTF willing to recognize our black belts, but even schools that followed different systems of TaeKwonDo were willing to honor our black belts upon seeing our official certificates. * Friendly, Family Oriented Atmosphere -- One of the great things about Cha's TKD is all of the really nice people there. The Chas have established a great school where everyone helps and encourages others. As I mentioned, the Family classes are really great ways to spend time with your kids and also meet other nice families. Also, the Chas do a great job of making learning fun for kids. I could go on. If you are looking for a great martial arts school near the Doylestown area, you should definitely visit Cha's TKD -- you will be glad that you did!

Twice we had a weekend at the same rental near the southern tip of the island. In the offseason beach rentals are much more reasonably priced & available for a weekend only if one chooses, The spot was great. The ocean was beautiful viewed through the sliding glass back doors. Walk straight out from the house to the sand dunes and the ocean. There were only houses in the area where we stayed. One had to drive up to Beach Haven for restaurants and shopping. The beach itself was the same gorgeous Atlantic Ocean that we are blessed to have in Virginia Beach, although the beach and dunes were wider. The houses were all new, possibly because of Superstorm Sandy that had once devastated the Jersey Shore. It really isn't a bad drive from Coastal Virginia, living as close as I do to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. My normal route up Highway 13 to Brooklyn only has one difference. Instead of taking the Jersey Turnpike, I exit on I-295 and continue to the Cherry Hill, NJ exit. Then I take the narrow backroads across New Jersey, which includes a huge, dark state park. This route leads to the southernmost bridge to Long Beach Island. I think the town you reach is called Surf City. It's an old style beach town with new construction interspersed because of Sandy. I'm always running late & wasn't enticed by their touristy attractions and businesses. To get to our rental head south on Long Beach Boulevard, past the commercialized portion of Beach Haven, until you're near where the road ends and the barrier island narrows. Always seeming to leave late I usually traveled the trip across New Jersey at night. Once it was snowing, making for a stressful drive alone with low visibility on the narrow, dark roads. Much to my surprise I was the first to reach the house. But even more of a surprise was that the door lock was frozen and I couldn't get it open. Passing through Beach Haven I remembered seeing a large restaurant & tavern. That seemed the perfect spot to eat & wait for my son & grandson to arrive. Spending the weekend on Long Beach Island with the beach covered in snow was a beautiful & exhilarating experience. For those of you who vacation south of our beautiful beach town, try a beach town to the north for a completely different experience. I love Long Beach Island on the Jersey Shore and look forward to another return visit.

I pass this course quite often, played there years ago and was disappointed that I couldn't golf. I forget about this course actually. Anyway, as my group finished golf and arrived for lunch most said the grounds were as hard as a rock, not in good shape and I should be glad not to have golfed that day. Hmm. They all said no more golf outings there. In all fairness, it is the first week of Spring and maybe it just needs more time since the season is just starting. Nonetheless...they were very disappointed. On a good note, the 20 of us sat on the outside covered patio and had a really good lunch. I wasn't expecting much based on the bad reviews of the course therefore I was quite surprised just how good the food was at their restaurant. My burger and fries were delicious. Cooked exactly as requested. The chicken cheesesteak was a huge sandwich and filled with a generous amount of chicken. Two could easily share that. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. Only one mishap...they ran out of fries! Substituted onion rings. Normally, that would be a good thing however, the onion rings looked awful. Skinny and overdone, more fried breading then onion...not the good kind of onion rings. Glad I was last to get the fries otherwise my review would be less stars. The quesadilla, salads and other meals also looked very good and generous portions. Our service was friendly and timly. I can see going back for lunch at some point to dine outside on a nice day. Not sure about the golf? I was fluctuating between 3 and 4 stars bc 3.5 would be my pick however, I just can't do 4 stars...hopefully next time.

Personally, I like that the staff are watching everyone and keeping the rules enforced. There are always people who get pissy about having their children corrected when they break rules, and certainly there are always people at the pool who think rules only exist for everyone else. The pool has always been clean, the staff patrols the area and the lifeguards are attentive, and the whole area is nicely kept. We live in Upper Dublin and drive 20 minutes to this pool every day because it's a much better deal and my kids love the water slides and snack shack (though the snack shack is outside the pool club, but they can walk there in one minute).
