  I enrolled my daughter in world champion, and while I can say that the school provides a nice positive environment for kids, I do think there are some things that prospective students or their parents should be aware of before signing up or even taking the first class.
  
  First the good: Master Kim is a very skilled fighter and a good leader. His assistant Daniel is great with kids and a positive role model. The place is always clean, fun, and safe. They also have a yearly Christmas party which is a lot of fun for the kids. Black belts earned through this school are accredited by the World Taekwondo Federation.
  
  My biggest issue with World Champion was the opacity of the pricing; the costs are not really laid out upfront and increase as time goes on, so I hope to educate any prospective clients as to how pricing works.
  
  My daughter signed up for two classes per week, and it costs about $150 per month. This breaks down to just under $20 per class.
  
  They only accept payment in the form of electronic checks and require you to sign a contract that states that you will give two months notice before canceling the service. Although this practice may be necessary to some extent to encourage long-term commitment, I do believe it is something that customers should know ahead of time before being put on the spot. Also, they sometimes offer a free uniform if you join, but an enrollment fee is assessed with is equal to the value of the uniform.
  
  Belt testing fees are assessed. You can expect to spend about $70 every two-three months, or however long belt advancement takes. The small childrens' program, Little Tigers, however, does not assess belt testing fees.
  
  Finally, there are equipment and uniform costs as time goes on. Students will be expected, by the time they're at orange belt level, to purchase sparring equipment, which IIRC costs about $200-300. The costs seem to ratchet up and you seem to be given no choice but to pay them, or lose the investment in classes made thus far.
  
  As an experienced practitioner of martial arts myself, I was a bit disappointed to find that the curriculum wasn't more inspiring. The kids didn't seem to be learning how to fight or defend themselves (I don't even believe self-defense is a stated goal of this program), it seems like it's gymnastics with a bit of light contact.This is find, if that's what you want for your children. But I would advise anyone against going into this program with the expectation of learning effective fighting techniques.
