I am career Military and my professional and personal schedule is erratic at best for what I do making it difficult to find things for my Son to do that both builds character and provides great life skills while he is not with me. I have been extremely impressed by the great staff at US Tae Kwon Do Center in their professionalism and caring and teaching my Son. Frankly in response to "LAN MAC" I have no idea what this person is talking about. I watch my Son's practice as much as I can and never have seen them just "sitting". In fact they are constantly on the move which is good for young children and when they are sitting they are receiving instruction and lessons of the 5 tenets of Tae Kwon Do, the Children's Home Rules, and the Commandments of Tae Kwon Do. Also, having moved many times in my military career I have dealt plenty with the PCS orders (moving orders) and TAD (Temporary Duty Assignment) to include multiple deployments so I know that each of these are completely different from one another. US TC policies are clearly stated and does include NO PENALTY for PCS Orders. A DEPLOYMENT is NOT PCS orders. Just the same as any rental lease only PCS Orders can break a contract without penalty as they are "forcibly" being relocated and will not return. Unlike a deployment. Sounds like someone is just trying to get out of a commitment.... I recommend looking at past reviews and notice that the other negative review was left by an instructor who was fired for conduct "unbecoming of a black belt" ....They have high standards not only for their students but for their instructors. USTC is who I want to teach my Son because of their high standards, for themselves and what they expect of their students. My child will be better off reaching for high standards instead of being held to mediocre expectations, taught to find an easy way out or cheat an honest establishment out of their good reputation with his dishonest behavior...............

Both of my kids attend USTC and we absolutely love it! USTC has become our second home. It has helped both of my kids with self esteem, discipline, respect and taught them that no matter how hard something is you keep trying and never stop until you achieve your goal. They look forward to going to taekwondo! Master Lee is amazing with the kids as well as all his instructors! We recommend USTC 100%.

We recently started Taekwondo sessions for my daughter and husband, and we’re absolutely thrilled with the experience.. especially thanks to Master Amy! She is truly amazing: patient, energetic, and incredibly skilled at connecting with both kids and adults. Her passion for teaching and dedication to her students really shine through in every class. My daughter has already grown more confident and focused, and my husband is enjoying both the physical challenge and the welcoming atmosphere. Master Amy creates such a positive, motivating environment..it feels like more than just a martial arts class; it’s a community. We’re so glad we found this place and highly recommend it to any family looking to get started with Taekwondo!

My son was enrolled for over year and he seemed to enjoy it. I advise not sign any contract at this school. I signed a 3 year black belt plan. I had every intention of following through but half way I lost custody of my child. I pleaded with Ms. Gail, the owner, to allow me to pause the monthly payments until I got custody back. She refused to make any accommodation and threatened to sue. Ms. Gail followed through on her promise. I’m am currently in litigation on the settlement. Now that I have custody back, I’m currently looking for a good Taekwondo school.
