All special needs parents that struggle with trying to involve your kid(s) with a sport or…read moreextracurricular this is exactly what your kid needs. Mason my 10 year old has been with Master Yu at Yong-in Aurora for 2 years now. My son has more or less moderate functioning autism. He struggles tremendously with friends and peers and thrives on structure and goals. He is an amazing kid however we felt like he lacked a sense of extracurricular socializing. We live in a bubble those of you I'm sure can relate and ever since the day he met Master Yu his eyes had been forever glowing with learning Taekwondo. He has accomplished becoming a red belt as of today and I kid you not Master Yu has a gift to form this bond and trust with my son that makes me as a parent Soooo happy. Mason has idolized Master Yu so much that if I feel I have any concerns at home or at school he is able to relay that to him during his sessions. Let's face it our kids don't always listen to mom and dad but the discipline and structure he is able to grasp from his Master is mesmerizing. I can go on and on but honestly my son has been blessed to have met such a kind, caring, motivating and extraordinary person that's definitely leaving permanent footprints in his life that will go with him into adulthood and really give him a sense of belonging to something he cares for with all his heart. We don't ever want to part with Master Yu as he's been a godsend for us. It's worth it you won't believe me until you try. Trust me Go for it!

He started in 5th grade when as a very quiet, introverted kid, he was getting picked on at school. When he first started Taekwondo it was more because we encouraged him to go, as the years went on, he took the journey to his black belt on himself. He dedicated himself to learning the disciplines to be successful in life. He gained confidence, strength, wisdom, and determination. At AMAA, they teach principles that go past the sport of Taekwondo and into home and school life. The principles helped my son become more autonomous and to face difficulties with a greater confidence. I am very proud of his character and very thankful to AMAA for the part they played in his life. He is just about to receive his second degree Black belt and inspired his two younger brothers and little sister to also take on the journey to a black belt.

Dhawan the owner at the downtown aurora dono, seems not too professional or motivated to welcome others in. My spouse had called about a month ago looking to start Karate, he is a amateur fighter, and just wanted to broadin his horizon in the art of fighting. My spouse was so optimistic to start Karate here, he had reached out via phone to be told to stop on in, and that we did. We wanted to right then and there make payment and set up when we would start coming into the dojo. Mr. Dhawan didn't seem so enthusiastic about having us start just yet and told us to wait two weeks when they come back from a tournament in Texas, which the date to start us in his dojo would be April 7th. We had called that day didn't receive a call back, my spouse then call today, again no answer. Since my spouse was excited to start our new journey drove in person to see the owner, there were a few parents waiting in the front room and session was at a end, there is NO SIGN that state DO NOT ENTER UNLESS etc..so my spouse walked in with payment in hand to see when we could start training..in response my partner was greeted with coldness anger and bitterness..in front of CHILDREN at that. no respect or honor. My man had to be the bigger person and walk away. He had $900 in hand for us to start there, looks like we will be going to Phantom kickboxing in Plainfield. Axel Arellano is a real multiple world champion professional fighter with honor and a code of discipline but he's also very soft and welcoming when it comes new people and hes the best in the area and we are happy to be there instead. Thank you for showing your true colors Dhawan.
