We moved here from Northern Virginia almost three years ago, and searched for an excellent Tae Kwon Do dojang for a long time. We tried several different places, but they just did not measure up to our old one(Tiger Den). Finally we discovered Tiger World Class Tae Kwon Do, in Ellicott City. I have been saying for years that we need something like this here! You will find the instructors, Master Shin and Master Chong are both experts in Tae Kwon Do, however most importantly are enthusiastic about the sport! They have a way of encouraging the kids to learn while strengthening their bodies and teaching respect. My son’s behavior improved immediately after a few classes. He wants to do well for the Masters and he has developed an appreciation for the Korean teachings of respect. Most of all, he is excited to learn and has a goal to strive for black belt. The Masters get the kids to think about goals, which is what they need. My son even has the thought the he could compete one day, just like the Masters. I believe with excellent teachers like Master Shin and Master Chong it is possible! You will find the dojo is always clean and everything is new. They have state of the art equipment, and benches for the parents to sit and watch. The schedule is very accommodating. You can choose from a variety of classes from afternoon to late evening, and even Saturday classes. The class time is just under an hour, so not too long for busy schedules and it does not interfere with homework. You will find price to be comparable to others in the area, and they do accept payment plans. It is well worth the money, and it has been my experience that the class sizes are small enough that each child gets individual instruction and attention. Overall, this is a success for Ellicott City! This is exactly the type of Tae Kwon Do we needed. They have a website that gives more information of their backgrounds. Check it out… and give them a call.
