We highly recommend .S. Taekwondo College…read more My daughter has been attending U.S. Taekwondo College for two years. She gets picked up from school everyday. We cannot be more delighted with the program. Master Park and Master John teach a holistic model of discipline and respect spanning to every portion of our daughters life. We have tried Kung Fu and MMA, and been disappointed with both. The Masters work on confidence, self discipline, and athleticism that she can use as a base to build positive life skills from. If you are looking for an afternoon program for your child, give U.S. Taekwondo College a try. Well worth every cent.

They teach not only Taekwondo, but also the way to be a good person. I love it, and highly suggest you try out these programs for your children. Thank you All! P/S: The college supports free care in student holidays (for students in After School program). The college supports early pick up in some special days (when the school close sooner). There is no late fee when you come late to pick up your children, just call in advance.

What a great taekwondo jang for kids! Both of my sons have been going to Tigereye for 2 years and…read moreit's been a great experience. Master Do is wonderful with kids and enables children of all ages to have fun but can still instill discipline. Multiple and variety of programs throughout the week - family classes, elite poomsae classes, afterschool programs, etc. I'd definitely recommend Tigereye for any kids or family looking for extracurricular activities. As a bonus, there's a really cheap gym right below Tigereye that parents can spend time during the class if needed.

My son (7) and daughter (5) have grown so confident, and even more focused and respectful. They learn incrementally and are able to reflect back on the year and are so proud of all they've achieved. They are able to speak some Korean, they have beautiful moves down, and can get up and perform without a second thought in front of a big group for a belt test. There is a lovely mentorship between the older and younger children. Master Do is firm, but so kind and gentle. It is a loving and close-knit community and we are so thankful for how much it has brought us.

Solid school, no pressure, laid back, worth checking out…read more Selling points - no gimmicks or pressure to join (unlike most of the schools in NoVa) - the two instructors are skilled.... very skilled. Taekwondo and BJJ backgrounds - male / female / kid friendly - one instructor is female, both are super approachable - the age range is good. i'm in my early 30s and i'm happy to be surrounded by students of all walks of life - pricing is competitive, especially if you bundle in 2 classes - fellow students are super friendly School style - relaxed. they can push you when necessary but you don't feel like the bad guy from the Karate Kid movies is screaming at you. - belt test at your own pace - good mix of ground and standing training - punches, kicks, breaks and grappling - full sparing at appropriate rank - good, balanced self defense focus Additional bonus - they cater to what you want. If you want a calm atmosphere to train in, if you want to become a champion, if you want something to do with the family, they can surprisingly do any of that. it's a well run program and worth dropping in. First class is free!

Oriental Sports Academy is an excellent martial arts school that serves all ages, from young…read morechildren to teens to adults. The school teaches four Korean martial arts styles: Taekwondo, Judo, Hapkido, and Sword. It has a before and after school program for kids, as well as summer, winter, and spring break day camps. There are numerous social events that help the students, families, and staff connect with each other, and additional special training opportunities are available. I earned my black belt in Hapkido here, and now my son is learning Taekwondo. We both love OSA!

Atmosphere is great and the instructors seem to care a lot. They've got great covid protocols and they don't stuff so many kids in a class. Also, since parents can't stay to watch, they set up a Zoom session for each class so you can watch from your computer or phone. I also love that you're not tied down to a schedule. Every week you can decide which class you want your kids to attend. For example, there's a beginners class scheduled for everyday that starts at 5:30 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesdays and 4:50 on Tuesday and Thursdays. You get to choose which ones to attend. Sessions last 40 minutes, twice a week. Overall I highly recommend!

Every single…read moretime she had a great time and I've been so impressed with how friendly and organized the staff has been. During the birthday parties all attendees have a chance to break a board. Huge highlight for the majority of the children. They also have different themes for the various camps which makes it more unique and interesting for students and instructors. They have great communication prior to the event and share pics during the day for the camps. During drop-off and pick-up they greet the children with bows. The instructors clearly love working there. They know how to balance having fun with teaching new skills and/or providing instructions. Plus, it's very impressive how quickly they learn the students' names. I love watching the children learn the value of respect and discipline. We've already signed up for some weeks of their summer camp too! Lastly, they are a great community member, giving back to the local schools, hosting parents' night out, and always offering deals and promotions.

Starting off to say my daughter is not interested in martial arts ... AT ALL ... so when she was…read moreinvited to a birthday party here I was already thinking that she would be spending a lot of time on the sidelines. Imagine my surprise when she joined in the activities easily and even saw a smile crack on her face! The instructors were so engaging and fun and I felt like they really did a great job encouraging and teaching the kids in a respectful manner. They truly run a tight ship here and I was impressed with the way they were able to easily flow from one activity to another while keeping up with a rambunctious group of second graders. They have a nice seating area for parents to watch, as well toys, coloring sheets, and crayons for siblings. I have walked by several times when they are doing their morning/after school camps and have always noticed how each kid seems truly excited to be there. If my daughter was interested in joining, I would sign here up in a heartbeat.

We have used Grandmaster H.K. Lee Academy of TaeKownDo for summer camp, holiday camp, snow days,…read moreand general membership for both children (ages 4-8) and adults (late 30s/early 40s). This dojan is amazing. Quality: The core masters have taken international standards and slightly modified them based on Grandmaster Lee's experiences and knowledge of both children and adult physiology to ensure they are learning something that fits and appropriately stretches their body's abilities, meets or exceeds international standards for TKD, and is practical use. Masters bring a variety of skills from different countries, ensuring that a variety of skills are being appropriately considered and taught. Many of them also have multiple martial arts backgrounds, bringing that knowledge with their practical lessons. Value: With your monthly membership you can attend as many classes as you are able to. No questions asked. No minimum, no maximum. If you can only attend one a month it's going to feel very expensive, but if you can attend 3-5 times per week the value is incredible. You can attend as many classes as you want in a day, so if you want to cram 3-5 hours into a Saturday, do it. If you want to use one of the dojan for private study, just ask. Tests are not expensive, equipment is priced fair. They have THREE studios which classes or private study can be run out of. Professionalism: the masters treat children with care and comfort. They give adults the respect of their age. They combine discipline with fun. They are flexible in ensuring your needs can be met. There are men's and women's locker rooms available for pre/post-class changing. Bring your bottle and fill your water. Camps: my daughter LOVES her time at camps. She's always exhausted at the end of the day - physically and emotionally. They have academics, play time, electronics if allowed, plenty to read, activities to engage the mind, and of course TKD lessons for everyone. If you want to mix in music lessons from the music and theater school upstairs, they will help ensure your children get to their lessons and back SAFELY and without your intervention. COVID: When COVID hit they moved 100% virtual on Zoom. They have been able to negotiate the Zoom security issues, setup a calendar assignment system allowing you to sign up for classes and attend knowing you and your children will not be harrassed by "zoom-bombing" and have solid lessons with your masters. As the state has allowed they began limited-attendance in-person training OUTDOORS on professional mats and considering social distancing for saftey! They have continued to expand to include indoor classes, no contact sparring techniques, private study in the lower dojan, and more! Injured? They'll pause your membership commitment. Birthday? They'll help you throw a party for your (children's) friends! Interested in STEM? They have a STEM class that runs seasonally. Interested in musical theater? dance? piano? violin? singing? The music school is family run and AMAZING, with top tier teachers.

Yes, Yes, Yes! I hugely recommend HKLee!!! We were in the AfterCare and Camp programs at HKLee…read morefor 3 years before a move took us out of the area. Well, I soon learned that I did not know what I had in HKLee!! Truthfully, I lost a co-parent when I lost HKLee. That's exactly how it's felt and it's been a very noticeable loss. My daughter needs HKLee as a part of her daily life, I need it to feel best about what I'm doing for Her, and We Both Need It For The Familial Environment!!!! It's unbelievable the way the staff learns and handles your child to their unique needs. And the way they partner with parents for the best growth and development for your children. And your children learn focus and discipline and social skills. They learn caring and respect for themselves, their family, and the people and environment around them. They get focused activity, free play time, and learning. Their camp program does more than any other with field trips, STEM projects, TKD class, swim day, park day, and more. And best of all... they study TKD with amazing Masters and staff. They work hard, develop their skills, and move through the belt ranks via a great exam program. And as parents, you get to watch your children grown and learn, practice and master, and best of all - you get to see the most amazing look of Pride and Accomplishment in their face when they achieve a new belt. And there's nothing better than that! Sending my daughter to the HKLee Academy was the single best decision I made for her. Trust me, You will feel the same!!!

I love the instructors - they are patient and kind but require that things be done the right way; all while making it really fun, especially for the younger kids. I also love the values and disciple that tae kwon do encourages. Plus, it's a fun way to get to get exercise and safely hit things which all kids love. But more then that, it teaches "might for right" so that it's ok to hit a target but not your brother. ;o) My boys have actually used the confidence they have developed from Jhoon Rhee to stand up to bullies and I feel better knowing that they spend time learning "stranger danger" and how to deal with a bad guy. It may seem like a lot of money on an annual basis but I think the investment is worth the results. Especially if you break down the expense per class, it is a very reasonable cost. I highly recommend Jhoon Rhee Tae Kwon Do! I am trying to write this review again since Yelp has filtered my previous review. I am personally upset by this as clearly I am a real and legitimate person with a real and positive opinion about this fine business. Please always review Yelp's filtered reviews since that seems to be where the best ones are to be found.

I have nothing but good things to say. My shy one was brought out of her shell through this class and gained confidence in her athletic ability. All of them went willingly and looked forward to progressing to the next tape/belt - a great motivator! All the instructors are so good at getting to know the kids individually and working with them to help them advance. They split the kids up in groups of 3-4 for forms and technique, which is super helpful. I did tkd growing up and think this would have been great if my dojang had the resources tot each us in small groups. Highly recommend Mt Kim.
