Don't ask for details/explanation from the office - you will get led astray with false information sadly. Phoned directly today as I was unsure and to make certain i would be receiving correct information by a living person and not misunderstanding my view by the website but was told something over the phone and then emailed something else with a lot of additional costs added. Whist the instructor was good - saddened by the company ethics. Unfortunately, I would not recommend overall when there are so many other local companies available to choose from. Don't feel as frustrated as I as having spent $1200 to date with them. Was happy to pay for some more lessons but don't like being taken as a fool in this day and age.
Approximate cost: $1
I am more than happy to recommend the BALMORAL chapter of Pacific International Taekwondo to my children's school friends and any of my associates. I have nothing but great praise for the Branch Manager John and all the instructors. Their skill and patience in teaching and guiding both adults and young children alike is above anything i have seen prior. I wish that I had their demonstrated patience some days!!.
The confidence that my 8 year old daughter now displays is amazing. The days of shyness have all but diminished. She was never one for exercise or group activities or venturing out of her comfort zone but now i watch in disbelief as she now volunteers for things at school.
My son had concentration and behavioral issues and the turn around in 3 months has been unbelievable. He now listens better and there is a noticeable increase with respect to others.
I never have a homework argument each Tuesday and Thursday with both my children as they cant wait to get their BALMORAL class. Both are dressed and in the car yelling at me to hurry up and leave.
The chapter has a family environment and happily welcomes new starters and no one is left out regardless of their individual level. Experience a session and I would be surprised if you did not agree with anything that I have stated above. Its rare to find something that is excellent for young and old, fit or unfit!! Its something that anyone can do and develop a passion and skill in.
