[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, we are talking about Jhoon Rhee TKD on Harrison Street, right? It is an excellent program. I have 2 kids enrolled, one in the juniors program who goes 3x a week, one in the knee-highs. There are 2 kinds of kids there -- those who go as a enjoyable activity and don't take it really seriously, and those who are really into it. I have one of each kind of kid. The class is perfectly appropriate for either commitment level, but I can see that the cost may eventually drive away kids who just aren't all that into it. But you won't know until you try -- my older one started out just liking it, and now it is a big part of his life and something he just loves doing. I have always made it clear to my kids that they can quit any time, and they really want to go. Wherever you end up, make sure you get a good recommendation because there are some really bad martial arts programs out there. I'm not sure you'll get the same kind of experience in a county program, but not to say that it won't be a good one. Why don't you observe a class or two in a couple places to get a feel for it? Re. "Korean Karate" I wouldn't jump down that poster's throat either. It isn't quite accurate but he/she was just trying to answer the spirit of the question. In NoVa we have many more Koreans/Korean Americans than we have Japanese, so that is the martial art that has come to dominate around here. [/quote]
