My daughter has a few school friends who regularly attend the same classes as her, but I have noticed that she has also become friendly with other children which is especially nice to see in this COVID age. The thing I like most is the flexibility of the classes. I had assumed we would have to come a specific set of days every week, but you can choose which days work best for your child. This is especially helpful for those of us with other children or prior engagements, or simply to allow the child the independence to pick when they'd like to come. My daughter started in mid-March and she got her white belt in April. It is now early May and she's gotten two tips on her belt already. These achievements give my daughter a sense of pride and also motivation to keep doing her best! They also offer summer camp, after school care, and always have something special going on (like bring a friend week, mother's appreciation month right now, and father's month coming up in June). Overall I'm really grateful to have my daughter in this academy and look forward to the years to come.

The quality of instruction, as outstanding as it is, is secondary to the quality of character of…read morethe family that teach there. Their consistent emotional investment in their students' development as whole people, not just martial artists, speaks to the sincerity of their efforts. There is an intentional culture of excellence throughout the school that is supported by encouragement tailored to the age and development of the students. Both of our children have been with the school for several years, even through covid and having to relocate. While we miss the luxury of training in person, the instructors went to great lengths to continue classes online, and have transitioned to a hybrid model with great success. We enthusiastically endorse Yong In, and would encourage anyone interested in training to take the time to meet the Lee family in person and let them prove us right.

I grew up…read morepracticing Taekwondo, and I got to compete at a certain level in forms and sparring, so it had always been a fundamental part of my life. Going back to practice was, therefore, a significant decision for me, and the fantastic staff at Master Andrew's school have made it very easy to feel welcomed and integrated in their family. Classes are varied, never the same, and they help me so much to relieve stress from my working day at the office. In just a few weeks, I can feel I am back in shape, and have regained my passion for martial arts. Every week, lessons include basics, forms, sparring, self-defense and physical fitness, so there is no space for boredom or repetition. Facilities are immaculate, and equipment is all high end and new. The Taekwondo curriculum is very well organized, and allows every student to remain engaged and make progress. For me, however, the main differentiating factor of the school is the incredibly knowledgeable and skilled masters, as well as the dedicated and supportive instructors. They instill a strong sense of discipline, respect and seek for excellence which I feel very identified with. Having been in the world of Taekwondo for over 25 years, I can definitely say that I would recommend joining Andrew Gause's Martial Arts to my family and friends.

I love the instructors - they are patient and kind but require that things be done the right way; all while making it really fun, especially for the younger kids. I also love the values and disciple that tae kwon do encourages. Plus, it's a fun way to get to get exercise and safely hit things which all kids love. But more then that, it teaches "might for right" so that it's ok to hit a target but not your brother. ;o) My boys have actually used the confidence they have developed from Jhoon Rhee to stand up to bullies and I feel better knowing that they spend time learning "stranger danger" and how to deal with a bad guy. It may seem like a lot of money on an annual basis but I think the investment is worth the results. Especially if you break down the expense per class, it is a very reasonable cost. I highly recommend Jhoon Rhee Tae Kwon Do! I am trying to write this review again since Yelp has filtered my previous review. I am personally upset by this as clearly I am a real and legitimate person with a real and positive opinion about this fine business. Please always review Yelp's filtered reviews since that seems to be where the best ones are to be found.

Initially this seemed like a great alternative to after school care. It seems many children…read morebenefit from the tae kwon do instruction. Our experience went bad with the after school care program. Initially, there was awkwardness when I was called due to our child not being at school to catch the after school bus. I understand a phone call to make sure everything is okay, although that had already been done at the school. The awkwardness is the repeating of how it was an inconvenience for the Elite MA staff even after repeated apologies. It was as though they were waiting for even more apologies. This happened another time we retrieved our child from school. As it turns out, there was a reason our child was getting ill toward the end of the day. We found out about an issue on the bus with assigned seating with a well established student ultimately threatening to break our child's glasses. The resolution by Elite MA was a call to us blaming our child for initiating the ongoing bullying (laughable if you knew our child who goes out of her way to play with those who have no playmates), but that the bully was 'really, really sorry.' When I repeated that this girl threatened our child, I got the ultimate brush off, 'ummm'. We only used their after school services for one month. I expect more morality out of a martial arts studio. After several high pressure sales attempts tied to long contracts, we will not be going back. Response: They only reached out after reading this review, and in doing so were only asking for identifying information. This is something that I tried to resolve within the business and was handled poorly as described above. Unless they have a consistent problem with bullying that they typically blame on the victim, there would have been no reason to make contact only to elicit information. There was no attempt to resolve the issue. As stated above, the primary problem is with the perceived demand of apology from the caller, not the call itself. The contracts are fair, and very high pressure, as is the sale of the many other hidden costs involved. Not expensive independently, but are frequent.

Taking classes has given him a sense of confidence that we greatly appreciate. We originally signed him up with the hope of helping him learn to listen and get his wiggles out. Mission accomplished. He is becoming a better listener and also loves learning new stretches and activities. He really enjoys his time at the dojo and looks up to all of his instructors (who are all kind and knowledgeable). A huge perk for us was that they offer a free birthday party, which allows you 90 mins of games, TKD, and eating. All you have to do is bring the food and decorate. They have instructors there to ensure that your child and the party group will have a blast. My kid had such a great time and all of his friends did as well! They even let them break boards at the end for an awesome photo op. Highly recommend TKD here at LBE!!! Also, they have an afterschool/before school care program. I can't speak about the program yet since my kid won't be going until this Fall, but I appreciate the flexibility of the program! You can do as little as 1 day per week or more. This is great for parents who do not need to have a full week of afterschool/before school care. Mike has been great to work with and is very prompt with questions. Again, highly recommend!
