My son has been taking TKD at an ITA school for the last year, first starting out as a cub and recently attaining his green belt.
When I first started looking into a program for him there were several TKD academies around, but I chose the one closest to us after checking it out. It was only after that I realized there were different organizations.
For the most part I don’t think they let the kids test the next belt if they aren’t ready to advance: my son started out w/2 other boys in the same Cub class – one graduated with my son to junior white belt class but has stayed as a white ever since while the other just graduated from the Cub class.
I am happy with his instructors and they seem genuinely intent on teaching the kids and not just being a money machine, as I’ve read about some places. He takes classes 4 days a week (could be 5, but we’re keeping it at 4 for now).
Anyway, I just wanted to see as any difference better or worse between all the organizations.
Thanks!
