they promise olympic taekwondo, yet for the 8+ years that they are existing, none of their kids has competed in the state, yet alone olympics. the head master have disgraced the school by attaching one of the competitors in a tournament as a coach - suckered punch the competitor while coaching his brother. they don't teach proper techniques, so skills are not honed here. they're big on hierarchy among students, and that's how they keep the students from leaving, the more senior you are, the more important you feel. they charge a lot for belt testing and thousands+ for a black belts, which doesn't take that long at all to get (want the $$$$ as soon as possible). they even charge a few hundreds for credit test in between black belt test, which you don't need. you'll find soon enough that money is king here. good for cardio and nothing more than that!

Avoid this place. They won't let you even observe their classes in session, expecting you to PAY to do an evaluation class.
A place that is as focused as this place is on your money than on showing you what they are capable of teaching you is not a place worth getting involved with.
