| - Our son was four years old when we inquired about the program. He was having difficulty following instructions as well as concentrating on anything for more than a few seconds. We honestly didn't think that they would accept him, in fear he'd be a distraction to the other kids. Nor were we sure he'd be interested, as it would require him to focus for 30 straight minutes. He participated in a trial two-week offering and surprised us by not only following instructions, as best he could, but is legitimately excited for each class. Being so young, his skills were minimal, but they continue to improve with each session.
From a parents perspective, Master Shin and Mrs. Shin are exceptional at being firm, yet fair, and have a way with the small kiddos that captures their attention while demanding a respect for the teachings. It's the perfect mix of caring with expectations. It's also great that the classes are quick paced where all students are involved, so there is next to no down time. Additionally, each class has multiple instructors that monitor the students, offering assistance immediately when a kid needs a little more guidance.
My son is five now. He's earned some 'tips' while working his way up the belt ladder. For us, it's not about how well he knows Tae Kwon Do. It's how much he improves his focus, discipline, ability to follow instructions, and overall is enjoying the experience. We couldn't imagine a better fit for our son, or better instructors...all of them! Thank you!!
