Be aware of warning signs with all those clients, employees and especially the conditioning of their atmosphere. What I witness is you dont get what you pay for. And Seen with the unprofessional interactions between clients and employees. Unfortunately these conditions extends on throughout their connections as well.

This place is phenomenal. Bill Cho himself is usually there as well as his other taekwondo masters. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly people that showed me around their huge training facility. Once you get started, the intimidation factor goes out the door. The trainers are very positive and upfront about your goals and helping you get where you need to be. This place treats your mind, body, and soul. Expect discipline, guidance, and above all else... professionalism.

Amazing place for kids and adults alike! The masters are amazing and you feel at home from day 1! The workout and training are great but its all the life lessons you learn here that are invaluable.
