Great place for kids to get exercise, and to learn discipline and respect. Master Moon, Master V and all the instructors are very professional and do a great job. Highly recommend.
I waited for sometime to write this review so I have time to fully evaluate this school. My kids have been attending Master Moon’s TKD for a number of months now and we are extremely pleased with everything.
I have since visited several other closer martial art schools for myself and none compare to Master Moon’s in frankly any aspect that I care about. The mat of one the schools was so stinky I could not bend down to do my stretches, the other one the present Master walked over the mat on his shoes, etc etc. You see none of that here.
The professionalism, friendliness and expertise of the staff at all levels provide an outstanding experience for the partitioners and has been the best I have seen. It is amazing that you see the same gentle discipline, patience and professionalism in even their junior instructors who are sometimes so young. My kids have learned so much during their Time at Master Moon. Particularly that they need to still work hard when they are discouraged or disappointed but with hard work they go beyond the limits of what they thought they were able to do. The best part is that, they truly love and enjoy their class time and look forward to every session.
I cannot say enough good things about Master Moon himself. He still regularly teaches some of the classes and you can see from his interactions that he deeply cares about advancing his students and has a superb way of giving them actionable feedback in a fun context.
I saw some reviews that talked about the cost. Compared to the four other schools I checked this school has the same or less tuition minus their drawbacks plus unlike some of the other ones they do not restrict you to one or two session per week. I am happy I could provide my kids with the gift of learning TKD in this school.
We have been going as a family to Master Moon's for several months and it has been a confidence and focus builder for the kids and a great workout for the adults. The little tigers class is great for the under-6 set with more energy than focus. The kids belt classes incorporate more control and work to build athleticism and martial arts skills. All of the instructors take care to match students of similar height and ability as there is a large age range across each belt. Adult classes are typically later in the evening or at lunch time and it is a great workout break if you can make it. The dojang is very conveniently located and class attendance is flexible so you can attend the classes that work for you.
I see that some of the lower reviews focus on the cost, and it is true that this is not a cheap hobby/sport/activity. I see the value in having a class structure that encourages participation and provides not just an all-around workout but a path to progression that keeps me engaged and actually using the money I'm spending on membership.
Sparring is not mandatory, but if that interests you there are classes specifically for sparring at different times during the week.
One last thing - I really appreciate the serious approach to health and safety that the dojang has taken during the pandemic. We are all ready to get back out and start living life again, and the masking and distancing that the dojang has enforced have helped us do so earlier than would have been otherwise advisable.
Update - coming up on one year and we're really seeing the kids growth in focus and physical skill.
Update at a year and a half! You really get as much out of it as you put in. Resetting priorities after the holidays and jumping back in is hard, but the physical benefits are worth it.
Amazing school! Have 2 kids enrolled there . Can’t be more happy !!!! Thank you for outstanding experience!
I got started with Master Moon's because I wanted something my son and I could do together. I wasn't sure how much I'd be able to do since I haven't been involved in sports in 20 years, but all of the instructors at Master Moon's have been so encouraging and helpful. They will show you a move or technique as many times as you need them to without losing patience with you.
My son at first wouldn't talk to any of the instructors, and he wouldn't make his kiyap (energy yell) during class. It took him a few months to warm up to the idea of being vocal, but now he kiyaps as loudly as anyone else. More importantly, he felt sure that he would always be a white belt, and it did take him four months or so to learn what he needed to know. After passing his first belt test, he was completely transformed. His confidence soared. I couldn't believe how excited he was about what he had done. Since then, he has successfully completed two additional belt tests and has even won a trophy for doing his one-step sparring perfectly during his green belt test.
I am so pleased with the progress my son has made and how much he has changed in only a few months. He just spent an overnight at Master Moon's a few weeks ago. He can't stop talking about how much fun he had. Of all the things he's done all summer, he puts the overnight at Master Moon's at the top as his favorite part of the summer.
Master Moon's has changed my son's life, truthfully, and it has given me new confidence as well. The classes get my heart going and make me feel energized, and they never become routine or boring. I would recommend Master Moon's to anyone who wants to be involved in tae kwon do. I've gotten my brother involved, too. Great place with great instructors and a positive atmosphere.
