Columbia Tae Kwon Do

While searching for an after school activity for my daughter, I was hitting road blocks as far as what I could afford, and schedule. My daughter received an invitation from a classmate to visit Columbia Tae Kwon Do. She said friends from school go here and asked if she could check it out. Conveniently located on 9&20 in East Greenbush. Different class times to work with your schedule. Cost so far is $ 40 for uniform and 4 weeks of classes.
Master Yun is very good with kids, and will take the time to make sure even my lil white belt understands what to do. Teaches kids in a positive manner, and with teaching discipline, listening, following instructions.
It has only been my daughters 4^th class and she’s learned quite a bit. Made a few friends.
I’ll leave this for now and add more later.

After our child took classes through their introductory package, we booked his birthday party there. Our little guy was very excited to celebrate his birthday there since he’d gone to a friend’s party there and loved it. He also enjoyed the classes there.
We paid the deposit and called to confirm the party a few days beforehand. Unfortunately, they stood us up and we were left outside the locked studio with melting cupcakes, bewildered guests and– worst of all– a sobbing six year old.
Worse still, the owner of the studio did not handle things as I would expect after such a mix up. When he finally called us the next day, he promised the moon to make up for his mistake, but then never delivered on any of it. I had to call back several times just to get the deposit back. He finally sent a check and enclosed a gift certificate towards another package of classes. It went straight into the garbage.
I might be able to recommend a place after making an honest mistake about a scheduled event, but the way the owner handled the mistake and our child’s feelings about his missed birthday party is inexcusable to me.
