It was good until we started realizing these people are really money hungry. You always have to pay for everything. I literally mean everything. You would think the amount of money we give this company there would be some free insensitives but there wasnt.
Things are just not mentioned in the initial signing up process when they should have been. We shouldnt know down the line that you have to continuously pay for belt testing and other tournaments. So add another $100 to what you already pay or even more. Just depends on how many kids you have. I will never forget the day when my kids

My 6 year old son started last November and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! He really enjoys his lessons and has shown tremendous progress! They have done a great job the past few months transitioning to online lessons and now transitioning back to school. The instructors are top notch too! They are so good with the kids and provide excellent instruction! So happy to be a part of the Master Khechen family!

We have been with Master Khechen's since my daughter was 6 and she is now 10 and a Black Belt. They are wonderful. Since Covid they have offered zoom classes and made sure my daughter was keeping up with her practice and continuing to grow in her skills. Now that they are open again, they have been so careful with the kids and making sure they are staying social distanced and wearing their masks. I could not be more impressed with how seriously they are taking this virus. I highly recommend this school.

I'm an adult woman who decided to try a class at Master Khechen's on a whim about a year ago because it's only 3 blocks from my house, and I'm so glad I did! It's super fun, great exercise, and a great community. All the instructors are excellent and it's always good vibes. With the recent COVID situation, they did a great job transitioning to online classes, and now with the reopening they are being really thoughtful and making sure everything is as safe as possible. This place is a gem.

I don't know where I would be in my life without Master Khechen's. This facility has changed my life by becoming my life. I started training in 2001 when I was 11 because I was overweight. Not only did Martial Arts training help me stay healthy and fit, but it turned into a skill that I was able to focus my young time, energy, and attention on. I started training every day of the week, then started helping classes, then started teaching, and now I am the Head Instructor at the school. What an amazing journey it has been and I feel so blessed that I have had such amazing opportunities. For anyone
