    My kids are interested in Tae Kwon Do. Does anyone have any recommendations? The past posts in the forum are pretty dated, so I'm hoping that someone has some current information to share. I've looked at Top Kick and it seems pretty expensive for 2 kids, although honestly, I don't have anything to compare it to.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    My kids go to Dragon Yong-In in Broadlands, next to the Safeway, and absolutely love it. I find the price very reasonable for after school care and summer camps, but I don't know what they charge for just classes.

    Dragon Yong-In is ok, my son goes there. My only complaint is that they advance too fast even at a child level, and each time they do the testing you have to shell out $$. Then they nearly force you to do the yearly 'tournament' which of course is even more $$. But the teachers are good and they do learn a decent amount.

    We started recently at Phoenix TKD just off Beaumeade after seeing great reviews on here. My daughter (9) did the free tryout and loved it.

    No pressure and very simple payment plans with no long contract. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming and the Masters are excellent. We're a couple of weeks in now and she loves it more every time she goes.

    Just out of curiosity how much does this run a month? We have been quoted 150/month for a 5 year old. I took Tae Kwon Do when I was 24 and it was $75/month (place by the Ashburn pub) but that was in 1998 so I $150/month might not be out of line 14 years later.

    Thanks

    I have a free 30 day trial coupon to Top Kick. I don't know the expiration date. If someone wants it, PM me. I don't even know what it is worth.

    Do you pay a family rate? I'm wondering how much it costs for the kids.

    Thanks
