At first, like any new venture that your child likes to get started
with, we were a little skeptical, but because Henry already had a friend
there, we decided to give Mt. Kim and Taekwondo a chance.

We have always thought that Henry was already a well-behaved boy, but
taking lessons at Mt. Kim and participating in their after-school
program has just reinforced that behavior.  We have had the opportunity
to view the classes, training, and exams and it is quite clear to me
that Instructor Andrew has a keen grasp of what I would call classroom
management.  

There is obvious respect between the students and all of
the instructors.  This one ingredient helps create a safe and calm
environment for the students to learn in.  The staff's professional
demeanor and attention to detail ensure that every student is given the
proper guidance, mentoring, and instruction they require.

As for our son, Henry is proud of all of his accomplishments, but I
think he's especially proud of those he makes in Taekwondo.  Progressing
from one belt to the next gives him a strong sense of
self-accomplishment.  Even when he doesn't earn a "tip" he's not
discouraged because he knows that it's not a sign of failure, but an
opportunity to return and try harder the next time.

 From an administrative standpoint, Mt. Kim does an excellent job of
communicating with us, the parents, and keeping us informed of changes
to schedules and any upcoming events.  They're especially good at
reminding us what to do during inclement weather and possible school
closings if your child is part of their after-school program.

We, the parents of Henry Clune, and Henry himself, strongly endorse the
Mt. Kim program at Ravensworth Shopping Center and look forward to many
more years of continued success there.

Respectfully,

   Shawn & Gina Clune
