Lacy’s Elite Taekwondo

Pros: the schedule and the facility, specifically where the training takes place, prompt refund when they remove your child because answering parents questions becomes problematic.
Cons: There is one very small private office that is for business purposes. 2 people familiar with each other would fit in there, but it’s a one person space. If you ever find yourself in a position to need to speak privately with a instructor be prepared to do it over the phone or online. In the case of needing to handle something immediately, you do so in full earshot of the lobby and training area. Asking what lead up to your six yr old getting sat out for 20 minutes gets glossed over and when pushed on the matter it gets your kid kicked out.
Overall this a great school for kids with innate maturity and self control, they’ll learn a lot. If they need to work on those things, or have add/​adhd and no exposure to organized sports or martial arts yet, I would go somewhere with a private office and with stated experience with the needs of those children; and also of their parents who may need to know the details of behaviors for their doctors. After being here from July to October with no real communication yet son moving up in belts, the dismissal says to me that they aren’t looking deeper than training the forms and some kids need to concentrate on the self control, respect, and general citizenship aspects people think of when they think of martial arts. That requires discipline, and discipline requires speaking to the parents, a chain that fell apart here in mine and my sons experience.

My son has been going to Lacy’s Elite Taekwondo since January 2012, and he absolutely loves it. Mr. Lacy is great with kids; he knows how to keep them engaged in the lesson and makes each lesson fun and exciting. My son looks forward to working on his stripes and the extra end of class «game». My son has learn so much since he started, in addition I find that he is manners are improving at home and in public. He is also more confident and his self-​esteem has improved greatly.
