Love the team here, unfortunately I cannot get a call back from the main office regarding cancelling our subscription due to scheduling changes. I have now been charged almost $300 for a month of classes even though I requested cancellation. I am told to call the main office but when I speak to the only person answering the phone I am told she is just a receptionist and that I will have to get a call back to cancel. Very unhappy and hoping this negative review will get me a call back so I can happily cancel and part ways, at which point I will remove this review. Less

It's the best place for your kids
Experiencing both virtual and in person training, Master Castillo is very talented and trains a great school for leaders.

I wasn’t happy with my daughters school aftercare program; seemed like she was always in trouble for stupid things, and she wasn’t being watched well enough for anyone to explain the issue. We joined taekwondo over the summer, and it was a good fit! The center picks her up after school, she does school work if she has any, and takes her class; all while I’m at work. When I get off work, I just pick her up and bring her home. Since she’s already taken class, I don’t have to sit around and wait. The expectations for behavior are the same before/after class as they are during. Instructors are firm, but fair, and kind. It’s really the best of all worlds for a timeframe in which I can’t be with her... and she’s productive. ❤️ Less
