Re: Experience as a parent of a Best TKD student

I brought my son, Nicholas, to Master Jeong and the Best Taekwondo Academy in August of 2008.  Nicholas had extreme difficulty focusing on any particular tasks, and was barely able to communicate verbally.  Since his time with Best TKD, he has been able to improve his focus not only in taekwondo class, but also at home and at school.  His communication skills have also grown tremendously.  Taekwondo has given him daily, weekly, and monthly goals, so that his daily activities come with purpose and reward.   It has inspired him to do well and focus at school, home, and during taekwondo practice.  Throughout the years I have witnessed how much Master Jeong and his wife care about the students.  They pay attention to each student and do their best to accommodate special needs.  I love the level of respect delivered by Best Taekwondo Academy which is learned and returned by its students.  I hold Master Jeong and Best Taekwondo Academy in very high regard, and would not hesitate to give my full unreserved recommendation to any parent, school, or institution that would consider utilizing their services.

I am proud that my two boys are enrolled in your Taekwondo academy. The value of your instruction far exceeds the tuition. I have complete confidence in your ability to teach martial arts. I appreciate your personal example. You emphasize character education with emphasis on respect. On numerous occasions, you have demonstrated exemplary skill and patience teaching small children. Thank you for always being kind. I am an enthusiastic fan of your school. Please let me be a reference for you.

The reason we put Nicholas in Taekwondo is for self confidence, and I never want him to be afraid. He just turned 3 [when he started] and he just wanted to play and run around the class. [He did] not listen and was disruptive. He had a lot of time outs in the office and we thought maybe he was too young. We [debated if we] should pull him out, but we didn’t want to learn how to be a quitter. So we kept trying; now, he’s five and he listens a lot better. He can focus for the whole class, and he’s learning valuable skills. He’s proud of himself and his new Black Tiger class. Thanks for being patient with him and teaching him.
