His style of training makes the kids feel confident while encouraging them to challenge themselves. He's got such a great way with kids and to be honest, our son was losing interest in taekwondo until we started at this new location. Mr. Wiggs is an incredible instructor and more importantly, our son loves taekwondo again because of his teaching. We love the space, look, and vibe of the studio. It's clean!!! I'm a clean freak and super picky about these things. The front desk is extremely professional and very welcoming. The parking is great and having a gas station and 7-11 next door comes in handy. We love it here!

My kids (7 and 5 years old) love MTKicks!…read more It has been almost a month since they have been attending classes and I can already see changes in their attitudes. They ask everyday if it is time to go to TaeKwonDo class. For kids their age, I am sure it can be especially trying for the instructors to teach them; but Masters Cho, Kim and MJ are very patient, caring and encouraging. I appreciate the fact the Master Cho is teaching traditional Tae Kwon Do. This will help build a solid foundation for any other skills in the kids future. He not only shows them how to punch, kick and block, he also teaches them the Korean names as well, giving them exposure not only to the marital arts but to another culture as well. You will hear a lot of "Yes Sir!" and "Thank You Sir!" He teaches them to hand things to each other using two hands as a sign of respect for each other. I am grateful for all these things are more, so much so that I even started taking classes as well. I will definitely be looking forward to attending MT Kicks for a long time!

Master Kim is patient and gives each student attention. He works with individual needs. He has a great team and Ms.Henley is very supportive and friendly. She works well with Master Kim rounding out the entire experience for the class. You're not a number here. You're a team member! Adding to this review: we are almost 1 year into this experience and again couldn't be happier and looks like we will be renewing the membership. We'll keep you updated.

We signed up for what we were told was a simple 3-month trial program. At the end of the trial, Miss Henley rushed my husband as he was leaving class and pushed him to sign a "renewal" agreement without ever disclosing it was a legally binding 1-year contract.Due to a family relocation, a newborn baby, and sharing one vehicle, it became impossible for our child to attend. When we physically went to the facility to request a cancellation, the staff clearly ignored us being present, rudely claiming they were "too busy in class" to speak with us. When they finally addressed us, they brushed us off entirely and claimed that their third-party billing platform, ZenPlanner, was their official cancellation partner and that we had to handle it through them.All of a sudden, the story completely changed. She informed us that they are no longer with ZenPlanner, and suddenly she magically had the power to cancel it himself--but only if we paid the remaining contract balance in full! To make matters even more dishonest, they keep shifting their own rules to convenience themselves: their earlier emails explicitly stated that a relocation distance of over 20 miles qualified for cancellation, but they arbitrarily changed that requirement to 25 miles just to reject our request and trap us.Despite our child not stepping foot in the facility for nearly 6 months, they relentlessly auto-deducted tuition and forced us to pay out a massive fee for the rest of the year just to be released. They show zero empathy for local families, ignore you when you stand in front of them, and constantly change their policies to force you into a financial chokehold. Do not trust their "trial" offers or their word!

This is a good school with Masters and Instructors who truly care for their students. Our son…read morerecently received his black belt from this school and we couldnt' be any more proud of him. I did want warn parents about the contracts. These are not yearly nor month to month, but the duration of the program (Black Belt & Master's) which would mean multiple years. Standard cancellation is 25% of the remainder of the contract. They are financially holding parent's responsible based on a commitment their child will make on pursuing a Black Belt or Masters Program. As we all know, children tend to change courses and want to try things over time, but be mindful of the potential cancellation charge you'll face should your child want to do something different. While we are glad they were able to work out a somewhat more reasonable cancellation charge, the contracts with this instituion are very one-sided and not favorable to parents at all.

My Experience with MKMA: What Parents Should Know Before Signing…read more I want to share my experience with MKMA because I think parents deserve to understand exactly what they may be committing to before enrolling their children in the Black Belt Program. First, I want to be fair: MKMA is a good Taekwondo school. The instructors are wonderful with children, the classes are engaging, and my kids genuinely enjoyed their time there. I have no complaints about the quality of instruction or the experience my children had while attending. My concern is with the length and structure of the contract and how difficult it can be to leave once your family's circumstances change. When I enrolled my two children, I did not fully understand the extent of the financial and time commitment I was making. The Black Belt Program involves a 60-month contract, a five-year financial commitment. Looking back, I wish I had slowed down and asked many more questions before signing. Five years is a very long time when you're talking about young children. Kids change their minds. Their interests change. They discover new activities they want to try. Family schedules change. Financial situations change. What works for a family today may not work a year or even a few months from now. In our case, both things happened. My children's interests changed and they wanted to pursue other activities. Taekwondo is also a significant time commitment for a family, and eventually it became difficult for us to continue. At the same time, my financial circumstances changed, and the nearly $600 monthly tuition was no longer sustainable for my family. When I reached the point where I needed to stop lessons, I discovered just how difficult and expensive it could be to leave the program. The standard early termination amount presented to me was $6,863.50. After explaining my circumstances and communicating with MKMA, they reduced the amount to $3,885. Here's another detail that I think prospective parents should know: I was required to pay that $3,885 settlement in cash at their Plano location. Paying in cash was not my choice or my preference. It was the requirement given to me in order for the cancellation to be finalized. I was not offered the option of paying the settlement by credit card or electronically. As a single parent living paycheck to paycheck, coming up with nearly $4,000 in cash was an enormous financial burden. I ultimately paid it because I wanted to resolve the situation and move forward. I want to be clear that this review is not about the quality of the Taekwondo program. My children had positive experiences, and I think the instructors do a great job. My concern is that a five-year contract for a children's extracurricular activity is a significant commitment, and I don't think every parent will fully appreciate what that means when they're sitting down to enroll their child. If you're considering MKMA, my advice is to ask a lot of questions before signing: * How many months am I financially committed? * What happens if my child decides they no longer want to participate? * What happens if my family's financial situation changes? * What happens if our schedule no longer allows us to participate? * Exactly how much will I owe if I need to cancel early? * What documentation is required to cancel? * How must an early termination settlement be paid? * Is there any way to cancel without paying the full early termination amount? Do not assume that stopping classes means stopping payments. Read every page of the contract. Ask questions. Make sure you understand the financial commitment, not just the monthly tuition, before you sign. I wish I had done that. My hope in sharing this isn't to discourage families from trying Taekwondo or from considering MKMA. It's simply to make sure another parent doesn't find themselves in the same situation without realizing what they've signed up for. The classes may be a great fit for your child. Just make absolutely sure the contract is a great fit for your family, too.
