My son's had a bad first impression at this dojo by Grand Master Williams. My sons both set up a…read moretime to go for an introductory class. Masters Williams failed to mention that there was a charge of $50 per person, until they were in the office and wanted $100 for both of my kids. My son paid him $50. Master Williams said "that's on me, I should've known you weren't good for it." I feel frustrated that no one mentioned the fee beforehand, but what I really have an issue with is how he spoke to my son. What he said was not only unprofessional, but extremely rude and uncalled for. As I was prepared to prepay the whole year up for both of them, if they wanted to attend this dojo. When I got to speak with Grand Master Willaims myself, he was extremely condescending, unprofessional, and I felt that he was not taking me or my concerns seriously. He mentioned that he's not hurting for students, but swindled & strong armed my son out of $50. He mentioned he was in law enforcement and "didn't respond to threats." I made it clear that this was just feed back on his interactions with potential new clients. He is unprofessional and I will not recommend this establishment for anyone ,especially kids.

I kind of have a problem with the review given under the name "Fake N."…read moreI enrolled my 11yo daughter( who was not exceptional in any sports at all) in FireDragon Martial Arts Kajukenbo classes and in 2 years(!) she not only earned her black belt in Kickboxing(exceptional) but check this: 1. She fought throughout Texas in 15 regional tournaments. She won 14 first places and the praises of every Grand Master whose students she defeated. The one tournament not won was because of a disqualification which was later determined by video to be incorrect. 2. Do you know my daughter won 2 State Championships in one Year! She defeated experienced black belts 3. She got to meet and to learn individually from UFC 4-5 different invited specialists like Adam "bar-None" Guerra, 20+ Grandmaster/ HOF master martial artists, and other "who's who" international fighters. 4. She even got to cross train with none other than Ann Wolfe at Ann's gym. Don't let some review by a momma who probably thought her looks could hook her some kind of discount!. The way Professor Williams has always been is to work with each parent if they need it- especially single mothers or fathers with children. I was a single man whose daughter was bullied by those who think they own the world, and Professor Moses restored to her a type of strength, confidence, and life without fear- while at the same time allowing her compassion to continue to grow. There has been, and will always be a "bitter Betty" use to getting things cheap or free; I probably shared in paying Professor Williams for some of their children's equipment; helmets, uniforms, gloves, and cost associated with attending a tournament, cost THEY could not afford or wanted to get for free. But he gave a lot of stuff free to kids, even when some of their parents were to cheap to commit fully to their children's growth. This Professor Holds legitimate belts AND rank and there are only a few people of his expertise level, skill set.

They're helping the kids build confidence, discipline, respect, focus, and good habits in such a positive and encouraging environment. The instructors truly care about the kids, and it shows in everything they do. We're so happy we found this place!

You and/or your child will likely learn a lot under their teaching. They will dedicate time to you and/or your child to help you along in the process. Now, for the disappointing: When you sign up, it appears you are signing a contract, which is completely understandable. As it turns out, not only are you signing a contract, you are applying for a loan, which will go on your credit report. Keep this in mind, as signing up (unless you are paying cash for everything up front) will likely impact your credit report, as it did ours.

The Professor/Black belt is incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel very welcome. The Jiu-Jitsu classes are a great conditioning workout as well as Self Defense classes that are very practical for anyone! My wife loves it because the Professor will have Self Defense classes for only women. If you want to join a gym that all the classes are 100% instructed by a Black Belt, you need to try Soul Fighters Georgetown. I love the family atmosphere here and can't wait to get both of my sons into Jiu-Jitsu with me! I'm looking forward to my family growing with Soul Fighters Georgetown!

I think this place would do better if they did grappling and not just it's cool punches. Thank you for the time that you impacted my son.

HK Taekwondo has been the one to take her through this entire journey so close to reaching the top. HK Taekwondo is probably the best experience I've not only had with a martial arts studio, is has been and still remains one of the best family owned businesses I've ever had experiences with. Master Kim and his Teachers are firm, consistent, teach discipline but not through aggression or anger rather sternness and firmness at a level the child can comprehend and understand. I believe this is why over the last five years, I have seen other kids also grow up in the same program. If you want to start this journey as adult or with your child I very much highly recommend this school. PS - I also know this school follows guidelines and teaching standards for a path to the Olympics.

Most of the high reviews are from years ago…read more Master Kim, the owner, is missing and rarely interacts with students. The instructors are hit or miss. If you get one of the 2 that actually teach they have different approaches that contradict each other. A 3rd teacher is a student that has no business teaching. He has no leadership ability and the students have no respect for him. At one point in 2022 their main instructor at the time went on vacation and then was out sick for an extended time. During that time, the owner, master Kim was still no where to be found and the classes were taught by students. When the instructor came back most of the classes were a disobedient mess. No one was prepared for that round of testing so they had the students repeat the previous test since they went 2 months without learning anything. When you look at the calendar it is packed with classes, but that is not up to date. They teach multiple experience levels at the same time in a relatively tiny studio. There is no common space, for parents, gear, backpacks or shoes. Just a narrow walkway with a row of benches right off the mat. Students get close enough to hit spectators. Kids are stacked too close to each other and run into each other while practicing forms. There is so much confusion about which class is at each time, you almost always end up with lower belts in the advanced class. They take 30 minutes to warmup, split into groups, maybe do 5-10 minutes of Taekwondo, and then spend the last 15 minutes of class playing a kids game like tag or jump rope. The week before each test they realize how under prepared most students are and suddenly get serious. They need everyone to sign up for the test because it is a revenue generator. You get to the test, where master Kim makes an appearance. His rambling and confusing comments drag the event beyond the expected time, usually running an hour late for 1 hour time blocks. The test devolves into him referring to everyone as "you" since he doesn't know any of his students names. He starts teaching a class during the test. It is really more judgement on the poor quality of instructors rather than the students trying to pass. The parents sit there asking themselves where this level of instruction has been the prior 3 months. Ultimately the students try multiple times, take breaks to have 1 on 1 training sessions before they try again. Eventually after enough attempts most of them pass. I wrote this review while sitting at a belt test, watching multiple students fail even though they required a testing form to be signed in advance by an instructor, acknowledging they were ready. Master Kim determines if the kids pass the test, but the instructors somehow have no idea what his standards are. In the weeks leading up to the test, us and other families were requesting help on specific aspects of the test but the help provided by the instructor (who is actually a student on the performance team) was minimal and provided no constructive feedback. Over half of the students failed and the owner told those families that he would personally guarantee to work with them for 2 weeks and they would retest and pass. From Friday to Tuesday master Kim forgot about the promise he made. It turned into assigning a different instructor to work with them which turned into students (who were not instructors or black belts) working with the kids for about 15 minutes in one of the classes. The most frustrating part of the re-test was an instructor telling the kids if they worked "this hard" before the original test they would have passed the first time. Absolutely disconnected, if the instructors were consistent every class, rather than just the week before a test, their students would have actually been prepared. But keep letting the kids run around playing tag with pool noodles.
