My little boy is enrolled in Master Chong's "Little Tigers" program…read more The team here is incredibly patient. Corralling four-year-olds is no small task, yet they all do it remarkably well. Most class sessions have two instructors: one who is leading the class and one who is walking through the room providing 1x1 corrections for students as they need it. The center is a very busy place, but the staff always takes the time to say hello and they actually know the kids' names. Changing areas are neat and clean. There's a play room for small children, as well as a waiting area with a fish tank for amped up kids waiting to get into class. This has been a great program for our whole family. My husband and I have been learning right along with our son, learning his Korean phrases, practicing moves with him at home and reinforcing the "life lessons" provided by the instructors. Much has been said about "belt factories" or programs that move students up in class simply to keep them encouraged enough to attend. I honestly do not care about the financials that could "maybe" drive the operation's tactics and programs. My reason for enrolling my son had little to do with encouraging him to become some lean, mean, fighting machine. Rather, I saw this as a way to work on focus, coordination, balance and respect. Money well-spent, in my opinion.

Though I hope they have options to freeze because there are times that we just can't do it but we can't cancel and just have to pay even though we can't come to class. They did send reminders if you missed quite a bit of class. Currently my kids is on red belts with black stripe. They also have social events like pot luck for the students, awards, summer party, fund raise. They also do tournaments.

My son has grown in so many ways to learn and appreciate, and I have seen firsthand his growth in self-confidence, respect and physical fitness. The students are all a family among themselves. I encourage everyone to take up their offer for a free trial program. I even mentioned to the staff that it should be recommended that every parent do a trial membership when they sign-up their child. Even what appears to be a very simple class when they first start, it's so much more of a good workout than what it appears to be.

While maintaining a focus on physical activity and skill in taekwondo, the focus on values including respect, responsibility, and perseverance go far beyond just what is written on their walls. The staff work with the parents and families as a team to reinforce positive behavior and good character not just within their facility, but also at school and at home. There is a constant narrative of commitment to self improvement and to invest into helping to better our surrounding community as well. One of our children has had some trying behavior and over the past two years the staff has poured their effort into support and structure to help us guide him the right way. This is the type of community and environment all families want their children raised in. We genuinely send thanks to Grandmaster Kim and his team for all they do.
