Not transparent with communication PRIOR to class closures - no emails nor signs on the door; with the recent pandemic, there were ongoing issues with technology, more class cancellations, limited schedules and class sizes - my child have NOT attended nor have lessons in 3 months, yet she wants to charge over $400 b/c they are so dependent on the tuition they are willing to rob others of their money even though it was not EARNED. They do NOT live up to the tenets being taught. Very disappointing to my 5 year old!

We love taking our son to TKD at Lacy’s. He loves being a Little Dragon. It is a fun and positive environment. He is learning discipline and skills. The instructors are great. It’s a great place to bring the whole family. We highly recommend them!!!

The BEST tkd school out there :-) I would highly recommend to anyone. Mr. Lacy is amazing, and my son has a tremendous amount of respect for him. The confidence, and skills that my son has gained in the past year is absolutely priceless.

Pros: the schedule and the facility, specifically where the training takes place, prompt refund when they remove your child because answering parents questions becomes problematic.
Cons: There is one very small private office that is for business purposes. 2 people familiar with each other would fit in there, but it's a one person space. If you ever find yourself in a position to need to speak privately with a instructor be prepared to do it over the phone or online. In the case of needing to handle something immediately, you do so in full earshot of the lobby and training area. Asking what lead up to your six yr old getting sat out for 20 minutes gets glossed over and when pushed on the matter it gets your kid kicked out.
Overall this a great school for kids with innate maturity and self control, they'll learn a lot. If they need to work on those things, or have add/adhd and no exposure to organized sports or martial arts yet, I would go somewhere with a private office and with stated experience with the needs of those children; and also of their parents who may need to know the details of behaviors for their doctors. After being here from July to October with no real communication yet son moving up in belts, the dismissal says to me that they aren't looking deeper than training the forms and some kids need to concentrate on the self control, respect, and general citizenship aspects people think of when they think of martial arts. That requires discipline, and discipline requires speaking to the parents, a chain that fell apart here in mine and my sons experience.

Lacy's TKD is an excellent martial arts school where both adults and kids can learn the meaning of commitment and discipline in a structured and yet fun environment. They provide an excellent work-out that is both challenging and rewarding for mental and physical health. It is "old school" where kids actually have to do well to achieve the next level and not just get an award for effort. The sense of pride and satisfaction the kids feel when they pass a test, or do well in a tournament is a great learning experience and as a parent it is awesome to watch their sense of pride and self-confidence grow with each level they earn. I can't recommend this school enough as a place where an adult or child can get in shape, enjoy the experience and grow in strength and self-confidence as their journey progresses.
