Testimonials
Dear Ms. Gail and Master Bae:
I wanted to send you a note to let you know how
much your program has helped my nephew over the
last year. A little over a year ago, my husband
and I took custody of a very nervous,
hyperactive and overweight 7-year-old boy. Our
nephew, Frankie, had never been to camp or had a
play date or played any sports. His teachers
were concerned about his behavior and
impulsivity. One of his teachers suggested we
involve him in swimming or Tae Kwon Do. I
started looking for a Tae Kwon Do Studio and I
checked out several before walking into your
beautiful, clean and friendly studio. We started
him in your Introductory Program and he was
hooked after the first class. It didn’t take
long for Frankie to “get with the program” and
when that light bulb went off he really started
to improve. He was able to listen and follow
directions. He stopped jumping around and stood
still as a new form or kick was explained to
him. We started to come to the Saturday morning
Character Development classes where the tenets
of Tae Kwon Do (Courtesy, Integrity,
Perseverance, Self control and Indomitable
spirit) were reinforced and explained in small
age appropriate groups.
Frankie is now an honor roll student and only
occasionally brings home a behavior “Think
Sheet”. He has lost weight and now wears a
smaller size than when he came to live with us.
He can go with us to restaurants, movies and
homes of friends without us fearing for the
worst. He still has a lot to learn but his
progress is remarkable. He is happy and active
and loves going to Tae Kwon Do. We joined the
Black Belt Club six months ago because Frankie
loves coming to practice and he really wants to
reach his goal of being a Black Belt.
Thank you for all you are doing to instill good
life values and the importance of exercise for
the young people in your program.
Sincerely, Marlene E. Rossen
When my son entered the 3rd grade he had a
difficult time with self control. He was often
bullied and found himself in situations he was
unable to handle. As the year progressed his
teacher saw a marked improvement in his ability
to handle social situations and commented on it.
My son told her that he had "A Master Bae!" The
teacher later asked me,"where can I get A Master
Bae for my entire class!"

Due to the type of work I do I see a growing
number of older people, men and women, finding
themselves victims of crimes. Unfortunately in
our society today there are elements that prey
on the elderly. I have chosen not to become one
of those victims. I began classes at U S TAE
KWON DO CENTER at the age of 60. I get wonderful
exercise as I am being taught mental and
physical control under the watchful eye of
excellent teachers. Master Bae keeps an eye on
everyone in his classes, making sure his
students are being taught correctly but not
being asked to perform moves before they are
ready.
