I have been training at Kim's Academy of Tae Kwon Do for a few months and they are wonderful! The Instructors are each very experienced and have excellent teaching skills. They are accommodating to my training needs and will work with me individually to make sure that I am doing the skills correctly. I appreciate their encouraging and positive approach to teaching.

I do not like the billing structure.
They have you sign a one year binding contract with no cancellation even if the child no longer wants to be enrolled or if it's medically necessary. That's right, I had a doctor's note. I pushed my child attend for 4 months kicking and screaming (it's clinically diagnosed anxiety and I tried very hard to help her overcome it until her doctor recommended we simply stop). When you ask for a cancellation fee, they make you pay the whole contract up front. They say "what if your child wants to drop out of school?" as if an extracurricular is comparable to learning

I have been bringing my son to the youth class since November 2017. The instructors are excellent and hold the kids to responsible behavior while in class for their safety and the safety of others. If you are looking for a martial arts studio that will push your kids while having fun this is the place. The rates are competitive and they offer one of the best schedules for attending and have the most qualified instructors of anywhere else I looked. The instructors care and help to mentor the kids and adults alike. I have seen some say the viewing room obnoxious but anytime you have a parent not

A lot of time spent on other belts than on white belts..sometimes they take so long to get their kids in formation..not enough discipline from the instructors. at tines they have a black belt student teach a group of white belts! The viewing room is ridiculous! Not able to see or hear what's going on since parents are not taking control of their kids...lots of running around, toys everywhere and balls being thrown. Will definitely not renew contract if things don't change!

I love this place! Kim's Academy has done so much for my son and I. We have been there for three years now and feel honored to be able to train with such great instructors. Each and every instructor at Kim's Academy is very dedicated and caring toward all students. I could never put a price on the things my son and I have learned about not only Tae Kwon Do, but also about ourselves. You get out what you put in to any type of training. I highly recommend Kim's Academy.

VERY GREEDY!!! In 3 month trial period they cost me about a $1000 (1 child). After about 2 month of practice instructors recomended my son for promotion. I was exited and happy for him. However, by the time I got home, I realized that $150 fof a stripe (not even next belt) promotion is a way to exessive fee. Next day I asked them to cansel the test and refund the fees. They flat refused to refund anything, even it was well before the deadline to sign up for the test. Perhaps, mr. Kim expects me to comeback in order to use-up the money he owes me, but I dont like to feel as a "cash cow" and be milked
