[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shane who works with, I believe, Flying Tiger in Bethesda is PHENOMENAL!  He taught group lessons at my school and was amazing to watch.[/quote]

Shane is with Flying Kick Fitness Center in Bethesda.  He is a great teacher, and they have a great program, though the lead instructor/owner does not teach as often as he used to and the tuition is very, very high (they cater to the private school and Bethesda crowd).[/quote]

I have AD/HD and have trained with Master A/Shane since I was five years old. I just started college this year and had been helping out at the studio since i was about 12. Taekwondo was a huge part of my life and my family's life and all I can say is that although Flying Kick does charge a high price, you get a really good deal (depending on the age group you pay for a certain amount of time, i think the minimum is 3 months and the maximum is a year, but your child can come to as many of the appropriate classes they want within that time). And I can tell you for a fact that all the instructors sincerely care about all the students and what they are doing. They also are really committed to working with kids with learning disabilities and emotional/mental disabilities. The thing that most people have an issue with is that no, there is no set amount of time between ranks; it depends on how much your individual child comes, how hard they work, and how fast they learn. They have a set curriculum for each rank, and will give a little leeway for younger/disabled kids, but honestly, the kids are usually happier if they wait and learn what they need to know. I loved my time at the studio and it really did help me and my brothers with our control and focus. If you're interested the website is http://www.flyingkicktkd.com 
What I cannot stress enough is that you should give all the instructors a chance because I grew up with all of them and they are truly amazing. 
I hope this helps![/quote]
