Dominach's Taekwondo Academy

This is my life. I've done this since I was 9 years old. Taekwondo took me from being a shy and nervous kid, to someone that is loud and confident. I strive to provide the same atmosphere and experience that I cherished throughout my training. To find out otherwise breaks my heart, but I know that my personality and experience is not for everyone. I encourage anyone looking for a martial arts school to check out several. I don't let anyone sign up with me until after they try a class. If you still want to try somewhere else, please do so. A lot of schools teach martial arts well - but only a few are going to make sense to you and your family. If it doesn't feel like the right place for you, find the one that does or I promise you won't be happy. When I was a teenager, I had to train with a school that was outside the organization I'd grown to love. The school had great people in it, and I went constantly. But I couldn't get past the things I didn't like. It was not the school's fault - they had a great program that many enjoyed. I simply desired something different. If you feel I can improve - please help me do so. If I'm not for you - I hope you find the school/activity that is. If you only tried DTA once - I encourage you to try it again . . . we have an amazing group of people that make our school more special than my wife and I could ever do on our own. Give several schools a chance. Find the one for you : ) more

"You're only as good as your last class." These are words that I live by. All that it really means is that you have to constantly evaluate yourself, and try to learn from your mistakes. I honestly don't know what I did to give the impression that I have to the disappointed individuals on this page. But I know that I make mistakes, and I'm sorry that I made so many with them. All I can say is that I welcome specifics, so that I can improve. We're not perfect, but we are always trying to improve. My instructors vary in experience, my leadership group is learning, and my staff may not always have the best answer for you. But we are always working toward the same goal: to provide a fun family oriented atmosphere that the students and their families can enjoy. more

Good: Enjoyed watching the kids. Bad: Poor quality of instruction, teachers, and the environment.. Improvements: More time and patience from the teacher's devoted toward the sport of TKD.. Other: Have heard and been witness to many problems with this school. The owner is not worthy of your time. Look other places before committing!. more

From great instructors to a clean facility, Dominach's Taekwondo Academy is great place for children and adults alike! They are very upfront about pricing so nothing comes as a surprise, which is great. Also, Mr. D. and Ms. B. happily volunteer their time participating in activities for the good of the city of Independence. I cannot reccommend this place highly enough! more

Do not even try this try school. The owner, Mike, is dishonest, unfair, and inconsistent. The school is very expensive for the middle classed family and the owner/instructor expects families to do a considerable amount of volunteer work. more

Do not recommend to anyone. Fairly expensive, inconsistent training.. more
