I LOVE this place!! My kid had been going for two weeks and I was sold after the first class. The instructors are patient with the little kids (4 yrs) yet firm and mine's behavior had improved dramatically in just 4 classes. If you're looking for a place, definitely try them out.P.S. sometime the website acts up so call or drop by if you dont hear back, so glad we did!
Our family has been coming to Major Tae Kwon Do for the past five years and have absolutely loved it. A friend of mine whose daughter is a third-degree black belt here highly recommended this place and we have been extremely happy here. Previously we had our kids in after-school daycare and honestly, I thought it was just a waste of money as they just would draw and play on a computer or watch television, or at least it seemed that way every time I would go into their room to pick them up at Daycare. I decided to enroll my kids at Major Tae Kwon Do as I thought it would be a great way to teach them self-respect, build their confidence, and learn how to work as a team. These are all basic skills all kids need to learn. During the school year, the kids take part in Tae Kwon Do three times a week and they take part in activities like reading, board games, drawing, and making arts and crafts. Mrs. Ji has the kids go over their homework as well and I love that. They don't just sit and play on tablets, phones or watch television all day, so I absolutely love that!!!Grand Master Seong Ji has been operating his school for over 25 years and is highly respected in the Gwinnett County community. When picking a school, it is important to get choose one that is highly respected, knows their art, and is very picky about who they bring in as instructors. Master Ji is always there, as well as his wife. Master Choi, Master Erica, and Master Paul are outstanding because they are Master Instructors. What does that mean? It means that they have their 5th-degree blackbelt or higher. These instructors do not play around and are great role models for kids.Grand Master Seong Ji is a 7th-degree blackbelt and has a Bachelor's degree in Tae Kwon Do from Kyung Hee University in Seoul, South Korea. That says a lot about his commitment to the art and his dedication to his students. I knew before coming here obviously that Tae Kwon Do was from Korea, but was not aware that there were different organizations. Should you ever decide that you want to compete at a very high level per se, the Olympics', you must have your blackbelt from a WTF (World Taekwondo Federation). WTF is the international federation governing the sport of taekwondo and for the Summer Olympic. So if you are going to a Tae Kwon Do school, choose one that is a part of the World Taekwondo Federation vs ITF (International Taekwon-Do Federation).Moving on. They have a great summer school program which is a great choice for working parents who are looking for a well-disciplined place that cares about kids well beyond, but where they teach respect. They take part in lots of arts and crafts, Taekwondo classes each day and once a week they go on field trips.Honestly, our childhood is much different than it is for our kids. The world has greatly changed, and I think it is great for kids to grow up and know how to defend themselves should they need to, or protect their loved ones, but most importantly learn to respect others, be around a diverse crowd of people from different cultures and to have respect for others and themselves. This place does a really good job of nurturing that.I would highly recommend Major Tae Kwon Do to any parent or an adult looking to take Tae Kwon Do classes. Master Ji and his wife Mrs. Ji are incredible people.[Review #644] (16th Review of 2021)Years ago a newspaper did an article on the school. Here is a link for those who are interested in reading about the history and how Master Ji got started. majortkd.com/assets/8.1-…
I went here when i was in middle school. Master Gi, Master Erica, and Miss Valerie were my tutors and they were absolutly amazing. Ill neber forget how Miss Valerie used to help me with my homework after class and she'd make me laugh all the time. Im definitly going to pay a visit in the near future to see if they remember me, but Ill never forget how kind Master Gi was to me and my classmates. I miss the dojo, and i miss the people. Best place to take your kids and take family classes as well. And if they are still offering after school programs, id HIGHLY suggest letting your kids go there for after school care.
