My daughter has been learning Taekwondo for a bit more than a year at the World Taekwondo Academy. I strongly recommend the World Taekwondo Academy. I carefully selected this school after looking at several other martial art schools. I speak from the stand point of someone who practiced martial art and self-defense in Europe and in the USA. Also, I attend 99% of the lessons as an observer. After careful consideration, I chose this school because of the spirit: Grand Master Lee, his son Master Lee and the other black belts who teach at the school are genuinely passionate about teaching Taekwondo. Most classes have 10 to 20 students. Two often three black belts are present to teach. The classes are broken down in sub groups so that students can get the level of attention that they need. Teaching is adapted to the aptitude of the student. All students are encouraged to excel. The best students benefit from the teaching of Grand Master Lee who was Korean champion and head coach on three National teams, including the USA Taekwondo National team. The teaching provided at the World Taekwondo Academy goes beyond Taekwondo; it is a school of life. Please, read the review written by Rithy Nong. After reading that review, I made an effort to not be redundant.
Comparing and contrasting with my previous experience, the quality of the teaching ranks at the top and the price is perfectly reasonable. My daughter started with two classes a week, then added one more (sparing) and recently added another. She takes four lessons a week for the same price. Learning Taekwondo is similar to fitness, dieting or investing in the sense that it is long term and your results are directly proportional to the efforts that you put in. Having observed classes for a bit more than a year, I have seen many students grow, improve, become more confident, focused and calmer. The school belongs to the World Taekwondo Federation, which means that your progress is recognized everywhere in the world.
I would like to offer a suggestion. The World Taekwondo Academy offers one thing that I have not seen at any other school: two weeks, four lessons, Taekwondo uniform included trial. Try it for yourself. If you like it you can continue. If you do not like it, th
