Run, run quickly, away from this place. Full of misrepresentations. More interest in money than product or child. Go with the safer bet that has been around longer and has a good rep. Looks like owner has left own posts and review? Reviews?
Clean,organized school,teacher is great role model: The instructor at first seemed quite young which made me think he may lack experience, but he turned out to be an engergetic young man, full of life, dreams, self-actualization and self-discipline. His teaching style is very consistent, engaging, fun and effective. He has done a fabulous job of opening this very clean, attractive, organized school and filling it up with students in just 1 year. While he demonstrates extreme competence in teaching Tae Kwon Do, he also puts a significant (if not bigger) emphasis on fostering essential life skills for young children who have trouble with focus, self-control, confidence or discipline. I consider him to be an excellent candidate to be a role model for my child. Sometimes a younger guy as a role model is more accessible to a young child than an older experienced man. The only thing I didn't like was that it is more expensive than most of the other schools we looked at - that is why I give it 4 instead of 5 stars. But I recommend checking this place out!
Great!: Charismatic instructor, who teaches with passion, and is a great role model.

David, I'm curious what your specific issues are with the facility. If it is so full of misrepresentations, I would think you would have included a few. To say that the staff is more interested in money than students is quite a bold statement which I think should be backed up with specific examples. A school being 'around longer' does not automatically make it a better school. This facility is a clean, well lit, professionally run martial arts academy. The owner, (who is NOT me, by the way), is a FULL time martial arts professional who puts all of his effort and energy into teaching his classes, unlike the majority of older schools who run part-time programs or have less than qualified instructors running the majority of the classes. The students who have left positive comments on this site obviously share that opinion, and the fact that you felt the need to make accusations that those comments were left by the owner makes you come across as petty and small.
i completely agree with your review. i am having the same problem in oklahoma. ha ha its obvious who is the real customer and the employees.
