Just for a little back ground here first. I used to train in TKD when I was much younger. I had broken my ankle and I was forced to stop training for 6-8 years. I personally decided to come back and train at Kojo's after looking at 3-4 different dojang's. Including the one I started at years ago. I did stop at each of them and spoke with the head instructor. Before I had to stop I did make it to green belt. Master Barrett made it very clear that I may keep that rank but I felt like I wanted to start over at the white belt level and he respected that. So now lets get onto the review shall we? If i have to put this is the minimal amount of words I'd say Kojo TKD is amazing! Master Barrett and his team of instructors are great. It's really that simple! Master Barrett is the main instructor for the TKD classes. He provides a lot of structure for his classes. The classes are built upon Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-control and Indomitable spirit. Every class is different and I feel like I leave learning something new! Not to mention the workout that comes with the each class. Even the senior students help out students of lower rank. Its always done with respect and they are willing to answer any question that you can throw at them. This is a huge plus for me! I like to pay attention to detail. (Personality trait!) The Dojang is also kept very clean. Recently they just put in new training matts. So we are currently breaking them in! Kojo also offers a lot of different class times. You can pick from 2-3 on M-F ranging from early afternoon to later at night and on Saturday they have a few morning classes. Classes offered here are TKD class, Sparring, Senior belt and they even have classes for the younger kids. Over all Kojo comes highly recommended from me. For any of you that follow my reviews know that its hard to put stamp a 5/5 stars on a review like this. TKD has become more of a personal choice of fitness for me so I had high expectations here. So I'm happy to report that I can not find any thing negative to say here. If you are looking for some Martial Arts training, new dojang to train at I would really consider stopping in. Their beginner class is a great deal! They even let you take a free class and they have no contracts. read more

I started training at Kojo Academy when I was 8 or 9 and I am sure that my parents would say that it was a great way for me to get all of my energy out and focused under Master Barrett's (and the other wonderful instructors') training. I learned respect, self-confidence, and courtesy, in addition, to staying healthy and active. I would go to Kojo almost every day after school when I was in middle school and high school. It was a home away from home. I was able to earn my 1st dan black belt and compete at the regional and national levels. However, opportunities in my life have taken me away from Kojo and continuing my training, but I am always excited to drop in, say hello, and get a class in whenever I am in the neighborhood. In short, the instructors at Kojo have so much experience, insight, and energy to offer any new student, who wishes to start or continue on in their training. I cannot recommend Kojo Academy highly enough. Try out a class and get ready to have a great time with a fantastic community! read more

I used to train at Kojo academy for many years. I started off as a white belt and I loved it so much I continued training there until I earned my black belt. Unfortunately, I had to move away so I could not continue training there anymore. While I was there i achieved more than just martial arts training. I made many new friendships and a new network of people i could rely on for help. Along with that you learn a lot of great traits that you will take with you forever. After i had moved i had tried a couple other places to practice taekwondo and no other place even came close to Kojo academy and what it had to offer. To summarize, if i could go back today and start up again i would in a heart beat. To anyone who is interested in joining or even trying i would highly suggest Kojo academy. It will be one of the best experiences you will have and you will along the way meet some great and wonderful people and gain some of the best training you will received in the martial arts. read more
