The staff is very kind but appropriately firm. We have noticed such a positive difference in our son in the short few months that he has been here.

My family has been attending BT for close to a year now and we have been having good results…read more Master Black is a good instructor and his training style holds to the 5 tenants of Taekwondo. I don't have other martial arts instruction to really compare to, but in comparison of outlets and activities for our kids and as a family as a whole, this is a very good one. While going to those trampoline parks may be fun to go to, there isn't a whole lot that you take away unless you only wanted a diversion that was one-time or sporadic. Attending BT gives you and your family the opportunity to build your physical health, a development of character, and it's also a great way for families to spend time together. If you're looking for only that one-time or sporadic participation, this isn't for that. Like if you go on a diet, your goal may involve loosing weight or eating more healthy. If you engage in weight-training, your goal may be to build more muscle mass. None of those things can be done just once or twice, you need to stick with it before any results are obtained. If you decide to attend BT, Master Black has entire months planned out to in advance to train and educate all of his students, kids, juveniles, and adults alike, in building themselves on those different levels. It doesn't require the commitment of the entire taekwondo lifestyle, but the benefits of physical and character development last beyond the class. No trampoline park can do that. What I would have liked better is the physical building. I need higher-intensity work-outs and more often than what BT provides, so I work out extra on the side for that. Another downside is that there are only a few adults who participate (many parents do come by, but only their kids attend). So the variety of styles and opponents to spar with is limited. I do like that Master Black has a wealth of knowledge and experience with Taekwondo. He is friendly and also good with kids too (he is also a father, so he has that insight as well). Many of the students have been attending for years, working their way even up to Black Belt. So I'd rate a 4.5-5 stars, most especially because my kids enjoy it so much.

Mr. Thomas, I just…read morerecently visited one of our young men at Church when he was awarded his Black Belt at your School. 1st, I would like to say that I am encouraged by what you and your Wife are doing to instill integrity, confidence, respect, and Social Etiquette to those young Men and Women. I think the Self Defense is a BONUS, seeing what other difficulties they may face in this Society. I am one of the Elder's at Dr, Myer's Church who happens to be from New York City. It dawned on me after meeting you that you may know one of the Fella's that used to run with us back in the day whose name is J.J. Thomas. He was a Music Major at State after he left the Bronx. Could just be a shot in the dark, but nevertheless we are glad that you are a part of the City of Columbia Framework because God knows we need Men and Women of Integrity who can impact the lives of our youngster like you and the Mrs. are doing. God Bless You****
