D S Kim's Tae Kwon Do

Don't listen to the disgruntled reviewer.... 1st. He has exagerated the prices for testing fees. I've seen the testing fees and even paid for a few of them. 2nd Why must the head instructor always teach EVERY class. I don't see any schools these days where the head instructor teaches every class. 3rd You will always have people who are disgruntled. Old saying "You can't please everyone" The reason is that they want to pay $20 per month and be taught by someone that has 30 years experience. Some people set their expectations too high and get mad at the other person when they can't meet THEIR expectations. People like this will always take issue with the way someone conducts themselves. 4th Easy to talk about HONOR when you hide behind an anonymous name on the internet. Pros: Very good instruction, clean dojo, 7 days per week and day classes Cons: small lobby area more

Master Kim comes off good but he is very lazy. Most of the time he dose not show up. When he dose, he dose not teach. He much prefres to sit in his ofice and go to gambling web sites than teach the students whos money he has taken. He says he will be there but no one showes up to open the school. Master kim has no honor. He over charges for every thing. Pads that cost 10$ else ware he charges 30$. Testing fees are a joke. 1st test and 2nd test are 50$ 3rd and 4th are 60$ 5th and 6th are 70$ 7th and 8th are 80$then all of a sudden he makes you buy a diffrent uniform and charges 180$ for testing.Prices just jump after that. 1st black is 500$ 2nd 800$ A 3rd black belt will cost you 1000$ or more depending on how much he lost gambling that week. Most places dont do testing fees. Master kim even aded extra belts to make more money. It dose not matter how good one is Master Kim holds people back to make more money. Save yourself money and heart ach, go to another school. Pros: Most of the students and some of the instructors are very nice. Cons: Master kim has no honor. more

Their classes are great for getting into shape and for self defense. Plus the people are great, both students and instructors. They seem to do very well with kids also. more
