Welland Taekwondo is not just a martial arts academy but a family! Master Nam will push you to your…read morelimits as he knows what your capable of even when your mind is telling you "you can't". Then with some time and dedication, you arrive at class knowing you got this! Moving here from Val Gagne, ON meant leaving all my family and friends behind. This academy made that big move so much easier by providing me with people I could count on no matter life throws at me! I love my taekwondo family and I wouldn't trade any of my experiences here for the world!

This review is from a parent and not instructors, like most before mine…read more To me this was very expensive for what you get. My child found it very frustrating having to sit around other kids who would roll around, talk, sit with there parents when they got bored and show up late. And there was no discipline at all. It didn't really matter at all during your testing what you did, EVERYBODY gets a passing grade. I watch my child doing all the proper moves and then watch other children with a higher belt degree barely do the routine, but if you are paid up your kid will pass, I guess that's how it works. When you sign up sifu is there to take your credit card info, and they will PUSH the black sash to your child steady. THEN when you ask for a meeting to discuss leaving the program it gets interesting. We showed up , entered the office, Sifu Rob leaves. He actually leaves the property, gone. Can't handle the situation I guess. This is when BRE ( I think she gave a positive review in 2012 and is an instructor there) enters and the lovely demeanor of her changes. Her tactics start with her sitting in front of your child and asking them questions. She doesn't actually talk to us, the parents. Everything is directed to the child. When we ask a question, she would cut us off. My child was very young when they said they would stay threw any turmoil and get their black sash. BRE will bring this up to our child steady, very good guilt tactic to use on a child. I stated that do to monitary restraints our family could not afford the high price of the program. She didn't care to here that, didn't even offer a reduction. Toward the end of this meeting my child asked to stay for her last class, BRE wouldn't have any of that. She said to my child " your sending me mixed signals, do you want to stay or leave? well what is it? " BRE decided not to let our child participate in the last class, we even said they want to do the last class because Daniel N ( another person who gave a review is an instructor) is my child's favorite instructor and really wanted to say goodbye. In the end our family was very upset on how this place makes you feel when you can no longer afford their high cost. They are all lovely Dovey there,but just don't try and to leave. Lately we have spoken to other families who have left this place and have had the same experience ( BRE experience) or worse.

This year once the kids started school here in Oakville, I called "Rising Sun" and spoke with Master Danni, he was very pleasant and helpful and invited us for a free week trial.

Equipment is sufficient, but not grade A quality. It works if you have a low budget for the gym and need something adequate. (You get what you pay for.) Staff are definitely friendly. They are working on upgrades here and there. Awesome when you go in and the upstairs or downstairs is empty so you can use anything and everything you want. Overall, this gym worked for me when I needed one in Welland.
