Academy of Hapkido Taekwondo Corona

Great Place to learn Martial Arts.My son started when he was 6.He is in a class of age group ranging from his age to may be to 60's.It helped him a lot to learn things faster and correct himself.He is enjoying it.

I went to Academy of Hapkido at 387 Magnolia Ave #101 to sign up my 8 year old for classes.Hong sold me a package which included classes twice a week. Hong advised to bring my child on a Tuesday at 5:45pm, but to arrive 15 minutes early.When I arrived at 5:30pm on Tuesday, Mr. Hong was wrapping up a class with students who appeared to be between the ages of 5-10. The class wrapped up, and Hong started the next class, which he instructed to bring my daughter in.Upon starting class, I noticed that the other folks in the class with my daughter weren't anywhere near her age. It was a mix of 12-50+ year olds, with the majority being early-to-mid teens age.Upon having my daughter start the class, there was no introductions. My daughter was extremely confused and what to do and felt uncomfortable. Hong advised for her to sit down and rest.After my daughter rested for 5 minutes, he invited her back into the class.Again, without introducing himself to my daughter, or introducing my daughter to anyone in the class, or introducing the class to my daughter, he threw her in the middle of class which at the time was running laps around the dojo.My daughter felt extremely uncomfortable and out of place so I pulled her from the class and left.Upon returning to my home, I called him immediately and demanded a refund. I got off the phone with Hong promising that he would refund my card and that the refund would be accounted for in 7 business days.It's now 10 business days later and there is no refund.I just got off the phone with Hong and he advised that I needed to come into the studio to receive my refund and that I wouldn't be receiving my refund until I came into the studio and presented my card to him so he could perform the refund.My question is: Why didn't he call me and tell me my presence and my credit card was needed in his dojo in order to process the refund?Hong has proven to me that he is very dishonest by his following actions:1. Attempting to place my daughter in a class she didn't belong in2. By telling me he was going to refund me, not refunding me, and then not calling me to tell me I needed to come in to his business in order to finish the refund. The only reason why I knew I needed to come in to complete the refund is because I called him directly. Had I not called him to confront him about my refund, the refund never would've happened.This business is dishonest.

I have been practicing at EMAC for over 10 years and am proud to be a part of this school. Grand Master and the Instructors are kind, tough, and well disciplined. They are excellent role models to the students and parents and provide the best traditional korean based martial arts instruction of Taekwondo and Hapkido. Don't just take my word for it though come in and see for yourself.
