Profit above Quality every time…read more The Amity location of WC TKD is below poor. if I could have chosen no stars, I would. I brought my child there 2.5 years ago. During that time, they have "lost" him twice (the first time he flagged down a stranger on the sidewalk and asked to use his phone to call me.) He has broken his arm. And still, they flag me down on the sidewalk asking for additional fees for equipment, belt advancements, tournaments, and more. Once you child advances to black belt protest, classes are Available only three times per week - and the Saturday morning class is frequently cancelled so they can hold more profitable sessions. So, be prepared to move everything else in your life to accommodate their whims. Parents are not permitted to stay inside the dojo during classes, (so god knows what, if anything good, your child is learning for $250 per month plus extra fees), relegating you to sitting in your car for a 40 minutes session, or shopping at one of the filthy stores in this strip center. Training is "get them through," style, with no character or learning around the craft itself. "Masters" are high school and college students who function without leadership and just try to get commissions for extra charges. No one should take their children here. I am perpetually sorry I stayed as long as I did.

I felt welcomed by everyone there. You can truly tell that the staff cares for each child that walks in the door. I wanted my son to take up martial arts because of his distractibility/lack of focus in school. Since he's been attending East Coast Academy of Tae Kwon Do his teachers have noticed such a huge improvement in his behavior & with focusing. It has also helped him with sports like Flagfootball & basketball. So if you're looking for a great organization for your child or for yourself you should truly consider East Coast Academy of Tae Kwon Do.

I remembered my son going to UTC as a child. The people were always friendly and patient. I decided to sign up. It's always been a dream of mine to study some sort of marital art. Not for self defense but for the discipline and fun. Master Kwak has delivered on all levels. Even though I'm a beginner he takes the time to work with me and encourage me. I'm so glad I'm doing this. All I can say is that if you're interested in Taekwondo stop by and speak with Master Kwak - you'll be glad you did. Five stars from me!!!

Simply put, an excellent school where kids are treated with great instruction. UTC offers a great…read morebalance of playful stimulation and discipline needed to progress. My son has been attending classes for a little over 2 months and has loved it since the first day. He has grown tremendously in confidence, respect, endurance and agility. I have seen incredible progress made by kids younger than him as well. Master Arthur, Master Kwak, Master Ryan and all instructors are very professional, friendly, kind, encouraging, and most of all passionate. Not only are they teaching the students Taekwondo skills, they are also teaching them life skills such as discipline, perseverance, and respect. I HIGHLY recommend UTC Taekwondo!

My daughter had a great time. She was involved in other activities and wasn't able to pursue TKD. By 2017, my younger daughter daughter was show by an interest in martial arts, and I remembered how impressed I had been with World Champion Taekwondo. I asked my friend, who's daughter had invited my older daughter to the party there years ago, about checking it out, and she said she had a pass for a free month trial she could give to me. My younger daughter went for a month and loved it and decided she wanted to continue. My daughter has now been taking classes here for over a year, and she loves it. All the instructors and assistants are various levels of black belts, and the student to instructor ratio is very good. There is not much down time with individual instruction within the group setting. The kids are all very engaged, encouraged to do their best, taught to root for one another, and reminded to do their best both at school and at home with their parents. Master Jang, AJ, and Robert are incredibly skilled and are great with both kids AND adults.

The instructors are amazing! My six year old loves them and is so excited to go every time.read more

The students who attend are very dedicated and there is a very personalized, not "factory" environment. It feels like home. Paul trains minds as well as bodies and teaches self-discipline in a very fun way. Paul himself is constantly updating/upgrading his training with international masters, and brings in special guest experts to the Academy. Children are really respected. The classes are appropriately sized and he has very committed assistants. Wonderful opportunity!
