This Place is Mc-dojo! A black belt factory and does not teach accurate self defense! A McDojo is a school that teaches a watered-down and impractical form of martial arts in the name of making money. They place the importance of profit well ahead of teaching anything realistic or credible in terms of self-defense, and are dangerous is the aspect that they send unprepared & often over confident students into a world thinking they can fight when in actuality they have no real fighting skills. Often McDojos teach a lot of bullshido, which is a term used to define deception, fraud, and lies in terms of martial arts. There used to be a time where a black belt meant something, back in days where it took years upon years of intense training, pain, and sacrifice. Those who wore a black belt around their waist had earned it, and they knew how to fight. Those days are gone though, and honestly, having a black belt anymore is useless. Who doesn't have one? With McDojos cranking out thousands of black belts to students who've trained maybe one or two years, there is no standard anymore. We have hundreds of thousands of black belts under 12, many even under 6, and a society that believes they earned them. We have 12 year old 3rd degree black belt instructors, wheelchair bound people with black belts, morbidly obese people with black belts, and we have 30 year old 9th degree grand masters. We have people who have never been hit or actually hit another person wearing a black belt, and people who think forms and one-steps are crucial to learning how to fight. All of these people are essentially ballet dancers with gi's on: they've taken the martial arts and turned it into a dance. To accommodate everyone and anyone willing to pay for their black belt, they've lowered the standards so that even a 6 year old could pass the test. They've ruined any honor of earning a black belt forever, yet these students who unknowingly wear the rank they have not truly earned yet don't know that they don't have any real fighting skills. They don't know that all they've done essentially is memorize forms, punch the air, and then pay for their belts month after month, and they won't know until either it's too late or until they seek out the truth. http:// mcdojo- faq. tripod .com read more

As a parent, I cannot say enough about Tiger Kim's Tae Kwon Do schools. My family have been members for over a year. My youngest child has grown his confidence, become very focused, and increased his balance. The Masters and Instructors are WONDERFUL! They care about the kids. They truly love working with them and watching them grow. They've instilled a love for Tae Kwon Do in my family. With Tae Kwon Do, as well as many other sports, there has to be a commitment. You or your children have to be committed to attend classes, work hard, and do their best. As a parent, my commitments includes having my child to class on time, discussing their achievements and areas for improvement with the Masters and instructors. Also, as with anything I have a financial obligation. When we committed, as a family, to join Tiger Kim's Tae Kwon Do we were offered multiple options. Each option was presented to us in print and we were given more than enough time to decide what WE wanted to choose. What the folks with the negative reviews fail to mention is that, they were required to sign a contract. They were also required to make the payments arrangements of their choice. It's entirely immature to threaten and leave nasty reviews when you are the one who has backed out (I'm only guessing here) of a contract. That being said, Tiger Kim's Tae Kwon Do has done wonders for my kids. The confidence boost and better behavior are only a small amount of the positives. Respect for everyone that they meet. They have developed a love for the sport and all the Masters and Instructors here! read more

* Putting your Kids to this place is bad for your Credit * My wife signed up our two kids with Tiger Kim's in September 2013. Paid first month fee in the amount of $288.00 .. Kids started they liked it... So far so good. Today Oct 18th 2013, I got a letter from AAC - Affiliate Acceptance Corporation as a "debt collector" saying I owe $3,168.00 to them they will be charging me a monthly "installment" of $288.00 per month. Are you kidding me ? They just totaled whole year and putting that as amount I owe ? Tiger Kim: you did not deliver services for whole year then how can you put whole year (which is in future) on someone's credit ? I am going to report them to Better Business Bauru and NC Attorney general for this business practice. Be aware. Putting your kids to this place is BAD for your and your credit. read more

Tiger Kim's in High Point has been one of the best activity investments we have made for our 5 year old son. We had sticker shock at first, but it has been worth EVERY penny! All of the instructors are phenomenal and you can see how much they enjoy watching their students hit each milestone. My son has played on numerous sports teams and his coaches were never as invested as everyone is at Tiger Kim's. They call every couple of weeks just to make sure we are still enjoying their program. My son will not allow us to miss a day. Almost 2 months in and we go at least 4-5 days a week. read more

My daughter has been enrolled in this program for over 8 years! She is testing for the 3rd degree black belt soon and we have had no problem with the program so far. It has been very helpful for her in learning respect, responsibility, confidence and etc. The staff are excellent and are always helpful with anything you need. Definitely a great program to get your child enrolled in and worth the price! read more

The Masters and instructors are amazing. They work with students in groups and individually. We attend as a family and thoroughly love class. read more
