Powered by GoogleKum Sung helped me gain more confidence and overcome my depression and anxiety. It's better than therapy. Cheaper too. They don't just teach you how to kick butt. They also teach you core east Asian principles for respect, honor, and discipline.
I have worked in child care for 17 years, against my better judgment I sent my 6 year old here for summer camp in hopes that things have changed. I was told "this camp loses children" on my first day of picking my son up, they couldn't find him. I waited for a good 10 mins before my son was brought to me. By the way you see absolutely NOTHING, you have no clue what the building even looks like. They do not ID parents on their first day.. or anyone else for that matter. My husband, mother and girl friend all picked up my son and weren't even questioned. I witnessed the wrong Nicholas be brought to a parent. There is a huge lack of supervision as I witnessed children wandering around inside just to be yelled at to go back outside. They don't seem to do much about bullying and/or care. I was also told that I would be refunded for a week that my son attended soccer camp, and that was beyond a struggle. I was belittled by the owner, called "little girl" and laughed at. Save yourself the stress and uneasy feeling of sending your kids here.
I do NOT recommend this summer camp at all. My 9yr told and 6yr old attended here this summer and it has been an all around bad experience. First of all, my 6 year old son has been bullied almost every day since he has attended and nothing has been done about it, he tells the counselors who just tell him to go play. He has been slapped in the face, punched in the stomach, flipped from his legs onto his back and kicked and punches in the stomach while on the ground and the only reason I know was because my daughter called me to notify me, not the school. The counselors response once again was to go play. My son was hiding with his friend bc they were scared and no adults would help. Being hit by other kids has been a daily occurrence for him. I had a meeting with the owner to hopefully solve all of this, instead he told me my kids are no longer allowed to attend since them and I do not feel safe having them there.. so instead of fixing the issue of bullying, they kicked my kids out for speaking up. Multiple kids complain about not being allowed inside other than at lunch time and if they choose not to swim they can watch a movie for an hour. Other than that, they are to be outside and are told they cannot go inside to cool off , they can sit in the shade, this was even going on during a heatwave, over 90 degrees out and they couldn’t take 5 minutes in the AC to cool down.. I have had my kids in daycare’s since they were babies and I have never had any issues like this before. Please do not send your kids to this camp .. it is truly horrible & the adults that run this place will just lie to you when you bring anything to their attention. I have other moms who I have spoken to and have similar issues - please save yourself the stress and the money and find somewhere else where your kids will be safe and cared for.
This place is great !!! The masters are outstanding and Grandmaster and his son are famous in the world of martial arts. Stop by and see the movies and tv shows they played in . My daughter and by bonus kids all go there and they learn great life lessons.
We have been bringing our 2.5 year old for about 6 months. We started with the trial and he loved it. The instructors are great with the 2-3 year olds even though its like herding cats. Its a lot of fun to watch and we continue to enjoy bringing him. Everyone is very kind and helpful.
