From the time we started here, this place has provided a safe and clean environment with a great feel to it. You can drop off or wait, this place can accommodate. There is a mixture of kids and adults and the way the class is run, everyone meshes very well. There are enough classes weekly that you can come as often as you like and keep honing in on your skills. They get group time and individual time during the lessons. I can't say enough good things about this place, there isn't a place anywhere near that can compare.

Earning a Black Belt from USTA makes me very proud. USTA is a place that that has taught me…read morediscipline, resilience, focus, teamwork and to keep relentlessly working towards a goal. It improved my focus immensely. An example of this is learning the tornado round house kick. To learn the kick, you must master all of the steps. Another example is learning the Deputy Black Belt form. The Deputy Black Belt form is very complex and requires a lot of skill and effort. The instructors at USTA also deserve some credit. I may joke around sometimes but they are always getting straight to the point and always teach us everything we need to know. They show us some tricks and skills we can learn. Taekwondo also has taught me to show effort and be consistent by making me go to at least 3 classes a week and if I don't show effort then that means I have to do more pushups. I have also learned to show respect because every time we do a drill, we must show respect to our partner. Another skill I have learned from taekwondo is how to be a leader. I have learned this skill from taekwondo by leading in the warmups. This skill is important because if you don't know how to talk with confidence, then you won't be a good speaker. Being a good speaker is important because it could help you in the future with your job or maybe doing a speech. As you can see, taekwondo has taught me many important skills for that will also help me in my life and it has also taught me how to show respect to others. Finally, earning a Black Belt at USTA makes me very proud because of all of the work I have put in and I can't wait to get my Black Belt!

Our 11 year old daughter who is on the brink of receiving her black belt at the USTA writes about…read moreher experience: "Earning my black belt at USTA is one of the proudest moments of my life. It's not just a belt to me - it is a symbol of all the hard work, and determination I've put in over the years. When I first started, I didn't know much about martial arts. I had a lot of admiration for the higher belts and the black belt students who I saw during belt promotions. But as I continued training, I realized it's about way more than just impressive moves. At USTA, they teach us to be strong not only on the outside, but on the inside too. I had to learn discipline, respect, and how to stay focused even when things get hard. There were times I wanted to give up, especially when I couldn't get a kick right. But my instructors, classmates, and family always encouraged me, and I kept going. The process of qualifying for my black belt has been super intense. I had to demonstrate excellence in everything I learned--forms, sparring, board breaking, and self-defense. I was anxious, but I am also ready. When I finally tie that black belt around my waist, I think it will feel like I can accomplish anything. As part of my practice, I help younger students and try to set a good example for them. USTA has taught me that being a black belt can be the beginning of a bigger journey. I'm excited to keep learning and growing. I know there will be more challenges ahead, but now I believe in myself. That's what earning a black belt at USTA means to me."

took me a while to finally write a review! read this for a genuine review from a former decade long…read moremember here. i was with the white tiger family for a very long time, went from white belt to a 2nd dan black belt here and then went off to do tkd at the collegiate level afterwards. i think the best part of white tiger overall for me has always been the people there. just such caring instructors and staff and some of my best friends (even to this day), have been made on the mat. also, some of the most fun trips i've ever done have come out of taekwondo too, from new york, austin, seattle, and miami to the kukkiwon headquarters in korea. so many experiences come from the tournaments and detours you'll take as a tkd athlete in life. in general, white tiger has always excelled in teaching poomsae (tkd forms) as well as in tkd demonstration. it's also a very well connected school in terms of the broader network of tkd schools and masters. as such, there's lots of opportunities to participate in fun tournaments and events and really level up your skills. i genuinely think it's worth it for anyone interested to give it a shot and, who knows, it might just become one of the most memorable things you do in your life. just like it was for me! :)

We tried a couple of the schools, but Warrior was the most accomodating and really tried to help him over what had happened previously and to make him feel a part of the Warrior family. I've found that they have the best balance between "stand up" training and "on the ground" work, done in a safe, controlled environment, with great instructors who really work with the kids to create a positive environment. The training includes an emphasis on respect, not only for the instructors at the academy, but for parents, school teachers and their peers, helping them to become "bully proof" without becoming bullies themselves. Additionally, parents can train for free, in classes set up for them. My wife participates in the stand up and grappling classes.

What's more pathetic is at the end of the low ball classes($49) they give you child a "belt". They they charge you for "registration" fee.

We tried this for a month, after the 1st month, after the child gets used to the classes (which seems to be over crowded) they hit you with all that I mentioned above.
