My son attended for a year and a half and part of the time was really great. He built some self esteem and gained some confidence. However, I totally agree with the poster below that Mr. Corley is entirely too pushy about money. He is constantly badgering people to sign 3-year contracts (which involve a $5,000 loan) for a child that is only 5-6 years old. He doesn't get it when you tell him that you are not ready to make that type of committment for a child that young. Also, the instructor turnover ratio is extremely high. My son would get attached to one then he would leave. New instructors did not know the level of skill for all the children, and by the time they learned, they were gone. And Mr. Corley is completely unavailable for several months out of the year while planning his even, the Battle of Atlanta - he will not even take your phone call during that time. Our experience was not one that showed how much the instructors cared about the children, but rather how much Mr. Corley cared about money.

Pros: Some good instructors, convenient location

Cons: Way too much for money, high instructor turnover ratio

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

We started tang soo do in California as a family. My sons, my husband and I loved it. When we moved to Georgia, we were afraid we would not find a place we could all enjoy the way we had in the San Fernando Valley. We tried the family class with Master Corley, and we were immediately impressed with the kind of instruction and the quality of the family environment we found here. Our kids are having great fun and learning all the martial arts principles we felt to be so important.

Pros: Welcoming, nurturing instructors, great role models; great families and friends
