Please read the entire contract and ask questions directly to the company over the contract. I relocated from Woodbridge, VA to Upper Marlboro, MD on June 1, 2021, in which my son attending Taekwondo in Woodbridge, VA was a no go. I called on June 8, 2021 to cancel the contract was told by the Accounts Manager that I had to provide documents showing I moved, but the organization would not accept what I offered. I am beyond pissed and want a refund for the months they charged me. A contract is a legally binding document and all terms have to be explained in a thorough manner. The Accounts Manager was also very rude during the initial conversation, but the last conversation We had today, she tried to act like she didn't remember me, despite having a log of our previous conversation. Master Nam is a nice man, but the organization he works for is doing shady business. I would provide more context, but I will save it for another time if necessary. I WANT MY MONEY REFUNDED!

Master Nam is awesome. Our son struggles with paying attention to any 1 action item. When he is…read morefocused, he is on point. The trick is keeping his focus on any one thing at a time. Some of this I attribute to him simply being a precocious 8-year old, and the other is just his lack of attention to any one thing at any one time. When my wife and I decided to put him into Taekwondo, he was only 4 years old. While he ebbs and flows with how he takes in basic movement, form and instructions, there is no doubt that the lessons are working on him overall in a good way. In spirit, in physical fitness, discipline and most importantly, in confidence. He truly has come a long way. Master Nam's approach is well suited to teaching the students at this Dojang and our son has definitely benefited from it. Has our son struggled from time to time? Yes he has. Our son is very expressive and wears his emotions on his sleeve. He gets frustrated easily and will start to cry when he's instructed to do push ups, but he's been better at holding the tears back more recently. When I told him that I had to do pushups when I was in the Army, I told him while it may look like punishment, it was simply to make me refocus my attention. It wasn't personal even though at times it came across to me like it was personal. So he shouldn't take it personally when Master Nam makes him do push ups. The push up is just a direct result to your coming up short in something and rededicates your focus on that one thing so that you do it right the next time. All this to say, when our son messes up a form, or basic movement or he is not paying attention and he's told to do a push up, the act itself isn't what frustrates him. It's that he did something wrong that made the master inform him to do a push up. He does push ups all the time at home so it's not hard for him to do it. This dedication to discipline is to build up confidence. This is important for a youngster growing up into a very unforgiving world. To start these teachings off early will go a long way for our son as he navigates through life. Master Nam is instilling all of these positive qualities into our son and the other students in ways that will pay huge dividends going into life. And along the way, they are learning an incredible skill set. Thank you so very much Master Nam.

We were having trouble with my son's teacher, and decided to pull him out of the school, and cancel the after school. The school ended up letting the teacher go and convinced us to stay. We had a lot going on (anyone with an autistic child can relate) and didn't even think about the Taekwondo. The master was picking up kids at the school, saw our son, and wrote my wife an email accusing us of being dishonest, and saying he was going to charge us over $1k. I don't care about the money, but what type of Taekwondo master accuses a woman (both of us work full time) dealing with a tough situation of being a liar? I don't want my son learning from this type of man who makes accusations without the full story. I wouldn't send your kids here. There are many options for Taekwondo with Masters who are honorable and command respect, but not this place.

That's when we found MJ Elite, and it was exactly what we didn't know we needed. Master Jeon is not only kind and patient but also deeply family-oriented and genuinely supportive. As both a father and a dedicated community leader, his strong work ethic and disciplined approach extend far beyond his school--his influence is carried through the hallways of many local schools by the students he has impacted. We are incredibly grateful for Master Jeon and the unwavering support, guidance, and care he provides. The love and encouragement he shows my son mean the world to us, and we cannot thank him enough.

All AGMA instructors are excellent with kids and work with each child individually to improve skills and build positive character traits. My son now loves going to the after school program where he's able to have fun, train and develop good homework habits. He is also looking forward to AGMA summer camp! I recommend AGMA to everyone! As a local family-owned and operated business with terrific an enthusiastic instructors and facilities, I feel that it is the best option for kids and adults seeking Martial Arts training in the Fairfax area. I want to add that AGMA is now offering Zoom Taekwondo classes. While the studio is currently closed due to Covid-19, my kids are continuing their lessons Monday - Thursday and on Saturday!
