Probably best taekwondo studio in town.
Pivoted quickly last year to offer online classes. Disappointed now to see poor enforcement of masks with staff and students, despite reinstatement of mask mandate. Frustrating because my daughter is still too young to vaccinate. I send her there...with trepidation during the delta variant. Not sure why this is now an issue after doing well last year during pandemic?
Update 09/25/2021:
Much better consistency with masking and compliance with health measures. Updated to 5 stars
Update 10/18/21:
Again several parents of kids refuse to wear masks. A few

I was extremely disappointed. When we took our 5 year old for her first class they did a 1x1 lesson and then let her break the board and it seemed like it was going to be great! We signed the contract and paid for her to enroll. It's when we started taking her to the regular classes that I really started to get disappointed. When the children were doing a move wrong no one would correct them, no one took the time to make sure the kids knew the numbers in Korean when counting they just shout it out and expect the kids to eventually catch on and that is how all.of the curriculum is, they don't teach

Blackmans is run like a well oiled machine. Professional and friendly staff, great communication and follow through. My son was very nervous about his first lesson, to the point he was crying and wanted to leave. Master Blackman was great with him and he was smiling with a spring in his step by the time we left. We love it so much that my other son is going to join and my wife and I will take lessons here and there to support their training.

As a parent with a background in teaching and ten years personal experience in martial arts, I was very meticulous when researching martial arts schools for my son. I was looking for a school that focused on the whole child more than the belts or punches. Blackmans delivers that and more. I am thoroughly impressed by the quality of instruction, curriculum and caring found here. My son is thriving in their classes and now my daughter is wanting to join. I highly recommend this school for their commitment to excellence.
