Be wary of any Tae Kwon Do place that makes you sign a contract. We did for our then 5 year old for 12 months. He liked it until the belt testing which was very intimidating. He has not wanted to return since. We made him go for awhile but he would cry and it got to be a miserable experience. It has proven to be impossible to get out of the contract. There is no fee we can pay or anything. We are stuck paying $100/month for 6 more months for a service we don't use. Lesson learned, albeit an expensive one!
