This should be titled "How to lose a sure fire student"
Well the teacher was....different. I arrived and didn't feel very welcome at first meeting. Upon return only 3hrs later as he requested, he asked who I was/what did I want.
I reminded him who I was to which he replied, oh I remember take a seat. I Watched the class & they all seemed edgy..and not adequate for their bellt levels.
I said nothing and sat their with a disciplined ear & friendly smile. They sat for more than a few mins with the master discussing current events to kids. Some how he ended up talking about China and how much trouble they would be in after this virus because they started it. He then started talking about the protest that are going on. I didn't hear him really speaking about self defense. The students I saw in there would have no chance defending themselves. From the white belt to the black belt I saw, none of them. Maybe they were nervous? Soon enough class was over and the floor was clear. I figured I would do some kicks to show him my skill set & see how he works/deals with new people. 30yrs in and out of dojos all over the world, most customs remain the same. I was assuming I would join after I verified some things. Unfortunatly & Apparently he says the only way to do anything in there is paying to join the class.
No test run/first free class. I've been doing martial arts for 30yrs and all legitimate dojos allow at least one free class to see if it's right for you. Who pays for a service you really know nothing about? How do I know your teaching style works with me? Only way to find out is to pay for the month....I'll pass. He says he has a lot of students, so could be missing a good opportunity. But after the experience, I'll pass.
Going to search for some different dojos in the...
Read moreI had been researching extensively online for a great Tae kwon Do establishment when I came across Tiger Cho's Tae Kwon Do. I cannot even begin to list the owner/instructor, "Tiger Cho's" credentials and accomplishments! No doubt there is no one more experienced or qualified to teach Tae Kwo Do in all of Oklahoma or the nation for that matter. Master Tiger Cho was honored by the WTF! (World Tae Kwon Do Federation) in 2012, and is considered a national treasure in Korea. The walls inside the classroom depict Tigers life, and all the lives that he has influenced. I Initially intended for only my young son to attend class, now our entire family attends class! Master Cho's classes are fun, exciting, interesting, and I always look forward to the next experience. The most interesting and kind people attend Tiger Chos, so this has been a great opportunity for me to meet new people. I love the sense of belonging, and how we all work together in and out of class. Our family now works together as well, helping each other to achieve goals, which in turn is building self esteem and disipline. If you are serious about learning and loving Tae Kwon Do from only the best, and surrounding yourself with kind people, then Tiger Chos is your...
Read moreI've been attending Tiger Cho's TKD with my mom and dad for over 2 years, and I hate to leave now. My dad has been approved for a PCS Move to New Jersey, and the one thing we can't bring with us is Grandmaster Cho. Both me and my parents have moved up the ranks to Blue Belts, and enjoyed every moment of it. Grandmaster Cho has helped me understand new techniques whenever I had trouble, and the other Black Belts would assist whenever needed. Each time we came, Master Cho was waiting to teach. No vacation, no sick days, no break time. He has dedicated his time to helping create the next generation of Martial Artists. Grandmaster Cho has supported us day after day and class after class, up to where we are now. While we can't bring Master Cho with us, it will be a place we visit whenever we come back to Oklahoma. To other families considering TKD for their children or the whole family, you're not going to find a better business anywhere...
