She has come out of her shell and is excited to train. I'm extremely happy at the positive influence the dojo has had on my children.

Due to Covid, parents are not allowed inside which is not ideal if you want to see how your child likes it. Starbucks across the street or quick mani is the place to be while waiting. It would be great if they could clear some space in their desk and window area so we could watch the kids more. I also liked that the other moms who were out in the cold waiting like me were all sweet and engaging. Ideal for Mom's looking to be social If wanted.

We LOVE Master Kang at Merrick Champion's Taekwondo!

My son has had the opportunity to observe and experience higher belts demonstrating kindness and leadership in the dojang, as well as having his own opportunities to demonstrate the same to the lower belts. If a student is having a tricky time, even during the promotion test, Master Kang works to build the kids up and make them feel great. I highly recommend Champion's Taekwondo in Merrick for both the high level of skill but the kindness and sense community in the class that he fosters.

When my 3 year old daughter first started taking the trial classes she had a hard time and would…read morecry and sometimes refuse to do any of the tasks. But Master Frank was so patient with her and spoke to her every single time. He noticed that she was very stubborn and that it would take her time to get use to the class. Since he was so patient and understanding and helped guide her through most of the classes, she eventually ended up loving the class and finally started doing the classes on her own! We were so proud of her. The only thing I would wish was for another class to be around 5 or 6 because she won't be able to attend Saturday classes anymore and Mondays are the only classes that start at 6:10pm. There is a class another day that starts at 7 but that's around bedtime for her. Other than that, this is such a great place for children to learn Taekwondo!

We are very impressed with Master Frank and the wonderful instructors. I am amazed at the improvement my daughter has shown in only a few short months. She will be testing for her yellow belt next week and she couldn't be more excited. I didn't know anything about Taekwondo before this past summer, but I'm so glad we joined the Ultimate Champions TKD family!! Taekwondo teaches amazing skills both physically and mentally. It's wonderful for children in so many aspects. We also love all the fun programs that they do outside of class... like specials for holidays and kids night out events! :-)

Last fall, we enrolled my son at Master Seong's Tae Kwon Do School, "Champions" in Bellmore, and I…read moremust say that I have been thoroughly impressed with the experience. As he was 7 (at the time, now 8,) we were apprehensive to sign up for a long term (10-12 months) contract ... whist there was a slight increase in the option of going month-by-month, master Seong was gracious and understanding and gave us the time that we needed, in order to make the right (long term) decision for our son. Master Seong is an exceptional teacher and mentor who is fantastic with the children. He not only teaches them the techniques of Tae Kwon Do but also instills important values such as self-respect, boundaries, and confidence. hat sets Master Seong apart from other Tae Kwon Do instructors is his thoughtfulness when it comes to parents and families. He understands that parents often have busy schedules and offers services such as "Parent's Night Out" and special camps for afternoons when school is not in session. What's even more impressive is that he opens these camps up to other kids not registered in his program, showing that he truly cares about the well-being of all children in the community. Champion's locations are, well, just about everywhere... however, it's the person which makes this spot so much better. We could have chosen to enroll our son at a Champions franchise closer to where we live, but the extra few minutes of travel is well worth it to have him work with a teacher and mentor like Master Seong. He is patient, kind, and supportive, and he makes learning Tae Kwon Do fun for the kids. Overall, I would highly recommend Master Seong's Tae Kwon Do School, "Champions" in Bellmore, to anyone looking for an exceptional teacher and mentor for their children. His dedication to his students and the community is unparalleled, and I am grateful for the positive impact he has had on my son. Thank you, Master Seong, for all that you do! (and to those of you looking for a program for your child - the advantages here and with this kind of class are endless - look into trying this place!)

Instructor Karen was the woman who set us all up and Instructor Saylor is my sons instructor in class. I can see how much they care about the students. I've even heard Instructor Karen speak to a student in such a caring and concerned way, trying to encourage him that he has to take responsibility for his choices to improve-and mostly to believe in himself that he can do it. It was so good to hear her stay so focused on trying to get that message to the student. Instructor Saylor has been amazing and she gently guides some of her young more distracted students back into the lesson (like my son lol). They just seem so caring and true to the students. The my don't allow disrespect and it resonates with the students there to act accordingly. So far I am absolutely happy with my choice to take my son here. Just fantastic.
