Here’s the Positive: The instructors, Masters Fredson Gomes and Chris Tuozolo, are onto something special with their approach to teaching TKD, especially to young children. My two boys, now 6 and 8, have benefited tremendously from training at Modern TKD Center. The school was a perfect fit for us since it reinforced what we were already teaching at home which were the five tenets at this school: Integrity, Courtesy, Perseverance, Self Control, Indomitable Spirit. The instructors do not merely preach these tenets but expect their students to fully understand and practice them, in and out of the classroom. Parents help keep track of their kids progress with a weekly checklist and the students are rewarded based on their progress.(good for children) Modern TKD Center is currently ahead of the curve by incorporating an anti bullying curriculum into their classes. Verbal Judo, role playing, mentoring, are just a few extra examples of the techniques I’ve witnessed these instructors utilize to teach their students self confidence and understand how to stand up to, prevent, and/or help victims of bullying at school. And on top of all this my kids get great exercise, learn self defense and the valuable tenets. Here’s the Negative: The classroom is small and crowded. It appears that students are taught more material and promoted faster based upon their age and not their ability? There are students with the same ranking belt but with different degrees of skill… hardly motivational for the more experienced students(for this I had to subtract a star in my rating) Overall this school has great instructors and is a super program to introduce young children to martial arts. My kids had a great time when they were younger but have since lost interest.
