Dae Han Martial Arts Center

Our daughter has been attending Dae Han for about two months now. For the sake of full disclosure, this is our first experience with a martial arts school, so I really have no point of comparison. But what I do know is that my daughter loves it. On class days, she has a huge smile on her face when she’s picked up from school while she proclaims in glee, «it’s Tae Kwon Do day!»
Master Kim and his instructors are great with the kids. They are learning some of life’s most important lessons such as respect for themselves and others, self-​confidence, self control, assertiveness. Even though it’s only been a couple months, these traits are noticeably more present in my daughter than before. Even more telling is how present they are in the higher belt students who have been attending for some time. Regardless of age, size or gender, it is clear that the higher the belt the stronger they are in all these areas. It is very exciting to watch the traits develop right before your eyes.
The support staff seems to have the place pretty well organized, so the chaos factor is pretty low, which must be tough when you are in the business of herding kittens. Parking in the plaza can be tough though, especially when one class is ending and another is beginning, which doubles the car load. There is also gym and day care center in the plaza, which makes things really crazy when they are at their busy times too. So even the parents get to learn a valuable life lesson: patience!

Looking for the best? Search no more! Master Kim and his team are the best! They are amazing with kids. they have been there for support and guidance during hard times/​growing pains at home and school as well as in class– every experience has been met with a positive outcome! My son has been at Dae Han for 5 years and has blossomed in their dojang. I wouldn’t change a thing and I look forward to him reaching his goals and continuing training for many more years to come
.

This is the best place to train martial arts.
I have two sons who are going to this school.
They love their master and instructors who are teaching so well.
I really appreciate master Kim’s enthusiasm.
Thank you.
I can guarantee if you are willing to send your child here.

My son has been attending TKD for almost 3 years now and the classes have helped him become more social. I’ve noticed a big difference when he talks in front of his peers, he’s more confident and is not shy. The instructors are very patient with the students.

Welcome to money making machine, now a days also called, American Martial Arts. We have been coming here for a long time (3 years to be exact) and our kid was learning a bit for few years but then the Dae Han merged with or bought out by a marketing machine called American Martial Arts. Their business model is fill as many kids in each class as possible. On average a kid gets 3 minutes of attention out of 45 minutes of filler activities. While the number of kids quadrupled, the number of instructors stayed the same. This is not a place with a mission or a soul to teach the fine art of Tae Kwondo, it is a money minting franchise. Go to a smaller place where your kids going to get one-​on-​one. Here they will running around in useless filler activities for $ 180/​month.

Our son just turned 5 and has been taking the classes here for a year. He really enjoys it, and in addition to being good exercise, we really appreciate the discipline he is learning. Master Kim and his assistants do a wonderful job with kids this age. Despite the fact they are working hard and learning valuable skills, the kids all seem to be having a lot of fun. It’s the one activity our son always wants to go to.

Having been involved in a number of martial arts over the years, I was thorough and very selective during my search for a dojo for my two sons. I discovered DaeHan Martial Arts prior to their moving to their current location. Master Kim and his wife were very receptive to me sitting in on a few classes prior to enrolling my sons. Unlike some dojos I visited, the Kims never made any promises, other than to teach my children the physical and mental aspects of martial arts. They have done that and more. The Kims create a family atmosphere and ensure each child, while part of a class, is made to understand their unique talents and abilities. They do this through a traditional and very exciting approach to learning, while providing life lessons, which I am certain will benefit my sons for the rest of their lives. I would, and have recommended this dojo to anyone whose child is considering learning martial arts.

My two kids have been attending Tae Kwon Do classes at Dae Han for almost two years now. It is the most enjoyable activity for them so they always look forward to class. Master & Mrs. Kim are excellent teachers who understand how to engage their students and help them master the necessary skills.
