Bobby Leach’s Olympic Karate

Can’t say enough about Bobby and the rest of his staff. We have been customers for 4 years and I can’t imagine my son going anywhere else for karate. Tae Kwon!

I’ve been studying Tae Kwon Do here for over a year now, and it’s high time I wrote a review!
I’ve always been a very slow, awkward, unathletic person. I can’t dance, and I’m all thumbs and right feet. If this is you too, I guarantee karate will do you wonders. (Thanks too to Josephine M @Traineo for inspiring me over two years to get into Martial Arts!)
I found Bobby Leach’s Olympic Karate through my son, who attended an amazing birthday party in kindergarden here. Bobby Leach, his wife Andrea, and their instructors were very good with the children and I was highly impressed. It took me two years to get back in and sign up for a free month of karate though. (Shame on me!) I was only going to sign my son up initially, but decided at the last minute that I may as well try a free month too and keep him company.
The first thing I really appreciated was the honest enthusiasm. There was no high pressure sales — they let the free month speak for itself! I’ve been to gyms where the salesperson fakes it for the 30 minutes it takes to get you to sign a contract, but how can you fake it for a full four weeks? The positive atmosphere, encouragement, enthusiasm, camaraderie, and friendly competitiveness are real.
The other major selling point was: No contract! You pay each month and can cancel any time — no signup fees, no other expense other than the uniform and belt. The rates are extremely competitive — I paid $ 100 for my son, and $ 80 for myself (discounted rates for multiple students).
Best of all was the positive and nurturing atmosphere that the instructors and senior students provided. Mr. Bob, Andrea, and the other instructors are really top notch not just in teaching you the basics, but making you feel good about yourself and making you WANT to give it your all. Senior students like Ms. Susan, Ms. Meredith, Ms. Jackie, and many others also constantly pitch in to help fellow students with forms and tips and keep morale and energy high all throughout.
