Very shady business practices. They make you sign a year contract to get started but they don't…read moretell you it's not actually taekwondo. They teach a couple kicks and a made up "white belt" pattern. Then they charge you for fake "color belt" testing, where you receive a white belt with a color stripe instead of a solid colored belt, only to continue doing the same couple kicks and pattern as every new person that walks in the door. We you start asking when your kids are going to learn something new they tell you they aren't unless you upgrade. That upgrade to actual taekwondo is a 4 year nonrefundable contract at about $5000 a year. Nothing from that first year carries over. And, you cannot even become a black belt until you are 16 so depending on your child's age it could take even longer, but they don't tell you that either.

Upon arrival I was quickly greeted by a friendly member of staff (Master V) who made us feel…read morewelcome. He provided us with information to the program along with the mental and physical benefits of TKD. Master Moon (and his team) are extremely patient, energizing, fun and serves as strong mentors to the community. We joined a year ago and my two kids continue to love going to class. If you're looking for an activity for your kid(s) that provides physical activity and confidence building this is a great option! Master Moon and Master V go out of their way to ensure the class sizes are small, each child is supported and encouraged and the kids are given an enriched experience. My kids are so proud of their achievements and have the belts to prove it! If you're looking for an activity or a discipline you want to invest your child into consider Master Moon's TKD, your child will grow more secure, disciplined and invest in their mental and physical health. Master Moon and ALL of the staff are considerate and thoughtful investors into our community and the well being of our kids! I highly recommend you consider enrolling your kid(s)! My son and daughter attend class together as they have advanced in their belt achievements at a similar pace. As a busy parent it is a bonus to bring both my kids (two year apart in age) to the same activity! I trust the values my children are learning from Master Moon's establishment!

Almost 3 1/2 years ago, my 4 year old son won a free month trial at Master Moon's TKD as a school…read morecarnival prize. Martial Arts was not something that my wife and I had ever considered for our family, but we decided to give it a try. I am so glad we did! The Little Tigers program is absolutely amazing! My son absolutely loves learning TKD, and as parents, my wife and I are constantly impressed with the life skills he has learned at MMTKD. Focus, Team Work, Respect, Self Control, Goal Setting, and Patience, to name a few, are taught from Day 1 by Master Moon and his Amazing Team of Instructors. After the first year, MMTKD held a "Family Month" where Moms, Dads, and siblings could join students in class for free. My two daughters and I jumped at the chance to give it a try. Since then, TKD has become a huge part of our family's life. My 10 year old daughter loves the supportive instructors at MMTKD. The instructors use a "praise, challenge, praise" approach when working with their students and it really makes a difference. My 13 year old daughter really enjoys the physical challenge of TKD. Learning the different forms and techniques continually challenges her and keeps her coming back! For me, TKD is not just a chance to workout, but an opportunity to spend time with my kids doing something healthy and positive. There are so many things about MMTKD that are special and worth mentioning... I feel that a simple review cannot do it justice. Come and check it out for yourself. I promise you will be impressed!

First off I must say this is the most beautiful well thought out Martial Arts facility that I have ever been to. The school has a rich history and the Instructor Master Pat Carey is excellent and knowledgeable in both Hapkido and Taekwondo. The entire organization is very courteous and welcoming both students and Instructors. It can be difficult to find a Dojang teaching true and pure Hapkido that is not hybridized with Taekwondo but the school does a great job of keeping the two arts separate. I highly recommend anyone interested in an Excellent traditional Martial Arts program give World Martial Arts a try.
