Tae Kwon Do Center

I’m an alumnus of this TKD school and I have to admit, it is pretty good.
Quick story, the owner and grandmaster of this school was (not sure if it is true on his own word, but the pictures seem to tell the truth) a former bodyguard of one of the South Korean presidents. That being said, you will expect a tough, aged man who is likely to become a drill instructor for the students. When I had went to this school, I was about 10 years old and had to quit after 4 – 5 years because of a bad back. However, the training of the school is REALLY intense for its main children students; a lot of the training is very unorthodox and unconventional, such as forcing students to jump over other students when performing a jump side-​kick or jump off of the wall to break a target.
The training center is pretty large. I’m figuring that it used to be a gym of some kind before it turned into a school because there is also a «locker”/change room in the back. However, it isn’t to say that there would be enough students to fit in one hour, because it’s big enough to fit only about 15 students (30 kids though)
Price-​wise? It’s not very cheap, but once in a while, the school is trying to show off large discounts to entice more customers, so it’d be better to take advantage of those opportunities.
Unfortunately, I will have to give this place 4 stars out of 5; I’ll be honest, I am proud to be a former student here and to learn invaluable skills, but let’s be honest, I think the instructor is a bit too harsh on his students and, in rare cases, not strict enough. What does bother me is the instructor’s partner/​assistant teacher, who sometimes runs the show when the instructor isn’t there; once, I recall that he would make us dance and kick targets whenever he felt like it. That wasn’t what bothered me, but I’ve seen this particular individual berating young students and taunting them whenever they didn’t listen. What is also a problem is the state of the back «locker» rooms; Unlike other TKD schools, it would be a plus to have a locker room in the back, but it is really dirty. I once had my uniform stained by another, younger student’s feces; from that day, I never used the back rooms.
Bottom line? Go here, the skills are incomparable to other TKD schools, but be cautious about enrolling young children; I’ve seen kids left and right get hurt and leave class crying because they were kicked or were landed on.
