    I have been a member here for about 2 years. The school is very professional and clean. I have…read morelearned a lot here during my two years. This summer I hurt my back playing basketball right before my 6 month membership was up and the manager had me come in to have the owner recommend me the proper treatment. My membership was going to expire in a week and they did not bring up the membership they were only concerned about my health. My back has healed and I am back training again. This martial arts school is as high class as it gets for any service business in any city. I will recommend them to anyone.

    This happened a couple years ago, so I can't speak to how things are handled there now. But I had a…read morenegative experience trying to contact the Westchase flagship location about a serious concern connected to my experience at another affiliated location. The concern involved safety, conduct, and how issues involving staff or members were being handled. I made four separate calls to four different people, was unable to get a hold of anyone, left my callback information, and explained generally that I was trying to raise a serious concern that I believed warranted awareness or oversight. I did not receive a callback or meaningful follow-up. I am not reviewing any one person individually. My concern is that I attempted to raise a serious issue through multiple channels connected to the flagship location and was met with silence. With time, what stands out to me most is not only the original situation, but the lack of meaningful follow-up when I tried to raise it through what I understood to be appropriate channels. That kind of non-response leaves things unresolved. It also leaves the person who raised the concern carrying the consequences alone. In a martial arts environment, especially one involving physical training and close contact, trust and safety depend not only on what happens on the mat, but also on whether concerns can be raised and handled responsibly. From my experience at the time, I did not feel there was a reliable process for escalation, accountability, or member support.

    My 8 year old daughter has been studying here for over a year, and we've loved our experience here…read more The instructors are very caring and supportive of students, yet they maintain an environment that fosters discipline and independence. They really take time to ensure that each individual student is prepared for the belt exams. The skills that Tiger Rock teaches help the students not only in martial arts training, but also in their personal growth. Mr. Paulk and team are easy to reach, highly communicative, and incredibly supportive of each individual. I highly recommend this program!

    You have to consider alternatives, when you take your kids here. I read a lot of good reviews on…read morethe web, but our experience was negative. After 8 months of staying there, our son became green belt (I thought that was impressive, till I had the opportunity of watching a belt testing - not even close to a professional experience). We chose to take him out of this academy, and took him to a different academy to get him evaluated to restart fresh. The new academy told us he was at white belt level (3 levels below green). This was a waste of money; we told the owner we wanted to rescind the contract and he said that, despite us being disappointed, we still had to pay the 3 months early cancellation fee; watch carefully that contract before you sign it. That happened as well to a friend of us; she got seriously sick and forgot their family was paying but was not sending their kids there anymore. Once she got cured and realized this, asked if part of the money could be given back, and the answer was no, and they still had to pay the early cancellation fee. I told the owner that I would not let go of this and I would inform any parent I could and that is what I am doing so that you won't have to write yourself this kind of review. If you want your kids to become seriously good at TKD, you should consider other schools around Sugar Land / Houston. There are plenty of profession environment where your kids will enjoy the seriousness of commitment and the results of hard work.
