We tried another facility with good reviews prior and it just wasn't up to par. Master Mike knows how to control a class and have fun at the same time. He also coaches the children on real life scenarios and takes time to focus on building character - courtesy, honesty, respect for themselves and others, etc. Classes for adults as well!

I've heard them say "not good", "too hard, lose weight", or make fun of children's hair or clothing. They admonish children who aren't old enough to drive, or are late because they are being tutored. They preach respect but are the most disrespectful men I've ever come across. waiting for our contract to be done then we are gone. Literally go anywhere but here.

We tried several different places, but they just did not measure up to our old one (Tiger Den). Finally we discovered Tiger World Class Tae Kwon Do, in Ellicott City. I have been saying for years that we need something like this here! You will find the instructors, Master Shin and Master Chong are both experts in Tae Kwon Do, however most importantly are enthusiastic about the sport! They have a way of encouraging the kids to learn while strengthening their bodies and teaching respect. My son's behavior improved immediately after a few classes. He wants to do well for the Masters and he has developed an appreciation for the Korean teachings of respect. Most of all, he is excited to learn and has a goal to strive for black belt. The Masters get the kids to think about goals, which is what they need. My son even has the thought the he could compete one day, just like the Masters. I believe with excellent teachers like Master Shin and Master Chong it is possible! You will find the dojo is always clean and everything is new. They have state of the art equipment, and benches for the parents to sit and watch. The schedule is very accommodating. You can choose from a variety of classes from afternoon to late evening, and even Saturday classes. The class time is just under an hour, so not too long for busy schedules and it does not interfere with homework. You will find price to be comparable to others in the area, and they do accept payment plans. It is well worth the money, and it has been my experience that the class sizes are small enough that each child gets individual instruction and attention. Overall, this is a success for Ellicott City! This is exactly the type of Tae Kwon Do we needed. They have a website that gives more information of their backgrounds. Check it out...and give them a call.

We found this place almost 4 years ago, after coming out of a kumon center across the street…read more Outside was hung with grand opening banners, so we decided to stop in and check it out. The Master (surprisingly) was young, but after one trial class, my 7 year old daughter was hooked. She loved how Master Andrew made classes fun, entertaining, and filled with laughter, but also included times for serious learning accordingly. He understands if the kids are having a difficult time with certain forms, but continues to encourage them which helps give them that push to continue, rather than to quit. This dojo is also run by the most family-oriented family, whom (from what I've seen) all remembers each students and their families names. They are constantly sanitizing and keeping the place clean. Yes, even before covid hit. 4 years later, my daughter who started out as a no belt, holds a second degree black belt. Thank you to Master Andrew and Master Yang for having superb positive teaching values for the children.

We've been going to JS TKD for several months now, and I've been waiting to write a review…read more Master Andrew is provides a perfect balance of kindness and structure for the kids to learn the principles of TKD. My son struggles with paying attention in school, but here he loves "focusing" and learning new techniques. It's the right balance of challenge and accomplishment. The facility is nice enough, there is enough room for all the kids to spread out. Class sizes are around 12-15, which is perfect. Belt progression is not guaranteed, and belt testing is serious. Master Andrew trains his students to be competitive and many do participate in state and national competitions, but we're only white belt, so a ways to go still. If you're looking for a family-friendly, flexible, fun and competitive environment, this is the place.

We wanted a real program and one that was certified by the governing Korean TKD body (Kukiwon). This is the best TKD and Hapkido schools in the area--both of my sons attend here and love Master Lee and his instructors--they make it fun but do not cut corners...it is tough, but real.

Meaning, I had come across numerous TKD schools, watched instructions of lots of different masters, and experienced different atmosphere of each school and students. And, of course, I've called and visited several TKD schools around Quantico after we moved to the area, and I am absolutely thrilled to have found Master Im for my son!! I did find a few TKD schools offering a little less tuition but required 2 or 3 years of contract. However, Master Im was MOST FLEXIBLE with tuition payment plan out of all the schools I've contacted, and I am definitely confident that Master Im's TKD PHILOSOPHY and SKILLS are superbly high and strong that it surely justifies his tuition rate without a doubt (If you are ONLY concerned about cheap tuition, this may not be a good school for you). His instructions are HIGHLY DISCIPLINED, MOTIVATING, STRICT, and very ORTHODOX (I say "orthodox" because I trained in Korea when I was young, and I know how it's done in Korea), yet humorous and accommodating enough for students to be fully engaged with TKD and have great fun at the same time. If you are looking for a TKD school, I highly suggest that you visit each school's "Black Belt Class" even if you (or your kids) are not yet a black belt and watch what the school has to offer to their best students in action. And I'm sure many will agree that Master Im and his students are among the best in the area.
