This is an excellent place for kids to learn respect for others, responsibility and of course TKD! Our kids have loved coming and learning from Master Young and his team! Highly recommend the before and after programs where our kids had safe transport to/from school as well as after school TKD class. A great place for kids (and adult classes too!)
BLACK BELT ACADEMY is an excellent facility for children to enhance their mental and physical well-being. Highly recommend this place.
My sons and I have attended Taekwondo classes at the Black Belt Academy of Dunkirk for over 7 years. Master Young Sung’s knowledge of TKD and his ability to motivate students of all ages is superb. I have witnessed firsthand students thrive under his leadership. I highly recommend the classes here!
Master Young has been teaching me for nearly ten years now. He is not only my friend, but also a great role model. Master Young truly lives by the ten commandments of TKD; An excellent example of kindness, patience and strong spirit!
Fantastic place for kids, wonderful safe environment with excellent instruction for children
Great place for kids to learn Tae Kwon Do throughout the year. And a great summer day camp for kids. Our two have been going there for years and we are completely pleased with Master Young. His staff is always helpful and are firm but fair with the kids. A team effort and a big thanks to Master Lori, Mrs. Wendy and and Mrs. Allison.
I recently enrolled my child in the Black Belt Academy of Dunkirk, Maryland with high hopes of them receiving quality martial arts training and a positive learning environment. Unfortunately, my experience with the academy has been far from satisfactory, leading me to conclude that it is not worth the investment. Moreover, the way the staff and instructors treat the children can only be described as disrespectful and discouraging. First and foremost, the quality of instruction at the academy left much to be desired. The instructors seemed disinterested and lacked the necessary expertise to provide comprehensive training. Techniques were often improperly demonstrated, leaving students confused and prone to developing bad habits. The overall curriculum appeared to be hastily put together, with a lack of structure and progression. I expected a well-organized program that would help my child develop their skills and confidence, but unfortunately, this was not the case. Furthermore, the attitude of the staff and instructors towards the children was simply unacceptable. Instead of fostering a supportive and encouraging environment, they were consistently condescending and dismissive. It is crucial to remember that martial arts should teach discipline and respect, but these values were evidently absent within the academy. I witnessed instructors belittling and humiliating students, which is not only counterproductive but also damaging to a child's self-esteem and motivation. Communication with the academy's management was equally frustrating. They displayed a lack of professionalism and failed to address concerns or provide viable solutions. Attempts to discuss my dissatisfaction were met with indifference and defensiveness, reflecting a complete disregard for the concerns of students and parents. Considering the exorbitant fees charged by the Black Belt Academy of Dunkirk, Maryland, one would expect a far superior experience. However, the reality is that the academy falls short in terms of instruction quality, staff attitude, and overall value for money. It is disheartening to witness an establishment that claims to promote personal growth and discipline in children fail so miserably in fulfilling these promises. In conclusion, I strongly advise parents to explore alternative options when seeking martial arts training for their children. The Black Belt Academy of Dunkirk, Maryland has proven to be a disappointing and negative experience, with subpar instruction and unprofessional staff. It is essential to find an academy that truly values its students and fosters a positive and nurturing environment for their growth.
