I recently attended a tournament and witnessed the most unsportsmanlike behavior I have ever seen from a coach. Maria disagreed with a judges call and threw a childlike, ranting and raving tantrum including the use of profanity in front of the entire audience. She caused such a scene that the entire tournament was forced to come to a halt. They are an embarrassment to the sport of taekwondo!! If you want your child to learn really bad behavior, no self control, horrible sportsmanship, lack of discipline and profanity then this is the place for you. RUN away from this place as fast as you can!!

I was just at a tournment today and seen first hand how this so called Master Terry and Master Maria handle problems. They are sore losers and use fowl language in the presence of children and adults. They we're so disrespectfull to other families and masters than when they left the tournment everyone applauded. They even tried to pick fist fights with officals judges and fellow masters. They have no self control or respect. This even shows in some of there students and parents they too displayed unsportsman ship. They are not teaching Taekwondo they have no self control self discipline or respect for others. How can they teach that to anyone? I witnessed Master Maria yelling and screaming at young kids and calling then dumb.. ask your self this. Do u want your children around this behavior?

Run as fast as you can away from this place as it will kick you in the pocket and leave you completely defenseless...seriously. This is a joke. Your kids learn absolutely nothing for the belts they push you to purchase every two weeks. A kid started two days before testing for the belt and he was included and received "purchased" his new belt...seriously? I suppose it doesn't matter seeing that the kids learn absolutely nothing but the instructors' bad habits..collecting money and shopping...classes were delayed waiting for "instructor" Terry's wife to get back from her usual shopping spree at expensive clothing stores. We always get the speech about how their son is a cop...wow...really? Who cares? Oh and tournaments they keep pushing you to pay for? Forget about it unless you want to be completely humiliated at your own expense...these people only care about the money....while your kids gets the ultimate beat down....

HORRIBLE EXAMPLE OF TAEKWONDO!!!!!!!!!!

I recently attended a tournament and witnessed a tantrum unlike I have ever seen from the woman coach from Skokie Taekwondo. This woman disagreed with judges placement of one of her students and threw a ranting and raving fit that brought the entire tournament to a complete standtstill. The police were called. This is not the only time I have witnessed this behavior from her at a tournament. If you want your child to learn how to throw unsportsman-like fits when they don't win something this is the school for you! Run, run, run as fast as you can away from this joke of a taekwondo school!! Skokie Taekwondo should be emabarrassed to show their faces at tournaments ever again.
