Mod Taekwondo Elite

Warning Marlo only cares about the money and not what he teaches the students. I joined thinking he would be a good teacher he knows Taekwondo. I liked the classes at first and Marlo's then started to talk about tournaments and how they are essential for your success in his class. That was fine and I understood but then he throws out the catch. On top of what you pay every month he wants you to pay his way airfare, gas rental car, food. Its like he just wants a free vacation on you. I talked to other students and when he does go they told me that he never even showed up to the tournament they where really disappointed that they helped pay his way and he was off having fun somewhere else. If you go here just be careful because he will get money out of you any way he can. He will try and sell you equipment for about 3 times as much as you can get it somewhere else and he does not even blink an eye. His motto is"" A good instructor will cost a lot but a bad instructor will cost you more. Since going there I am not sure what one he is. more

As a student of MOD Taekwondo my experince is very outstanding! The instructor is very good and really knows what his teaching. We go tournament and comepete not just local competition but also International Tournment. For me, I believe that a skills are measured if you come out in your shell and compete to other school, in that way your skills can be tested by competing other martial artist. Some school dont go competition maybe because they are scared that people will find out that they have no skill at all. I am very proud to be a student of MOD Taekwondo. more

After moving to Utah 5 years ago, we selected Master Marlo's gym to continue my son's training. I immediately liked his professional and enthusiastic approach to training his students. When my son was younger, he enjoyed the ""games"" and training. Now that he is nearly a black belt, he is inspired by the solid example that Master Marlo provides and continues to enjoy Taekwondo at MOD. As parents, we are very pleased with our son's training, discipline, growth and development, as well as his continued respect for Master Marlo. It is easy to see that the students at MOD respect Master Marlo because he takes his training seriously and respects the dedication and time of his students. more

Grand Master Marlo is a good man. I've known him for years. He does not have a big ego like the other review said. He is very professional. He knows how to treach and he does it very well. The first day I walked through his door I felt welcomed. He has done wonders for my boy and for me. I never thought I would be doing Martial Arts at my age. But he believed in me. He never gives up with anyone, no matter how challenging. I am inspired with every class. It's fun and I would HIGHLY recommend MOD Taekwondo Elite to anyone. We are all a family here. Grand Master Marlo is one of the best at what he does. Case in point his name is in the World Martial Arts Hall of Fame. So he must be doing something right. - A + + + + more

After meeting Marlo I decided to take my children to his class. They have been in a different martial arts class for three years. The first thing I noticed that was different with Master Marlo's class were his standards. He teaches respect and his students listen and focus. His standards far exceeded those of other gyms. I watched the black belts because they are the product a Master is selling. If the black belts are sloppy, it is a reflection of the training you are paying for. Master Marlo's black belts were amazing! Quick, sharp and powerful. My Kids love his class! I was so impressed I joined the class. Master Marlo is a natural teacher and knows how to get the best out of each of his students. more

The owner of the school has a huge ego that crowds the place. Marrlo looks more at the ladies rather than the kids. He scared my child that I had to pull him out of his school. Marrlo also liked to pay more attention to me and it made me uncomfortable. DON'T GO IN THIS SCHOOL IF YOU CAN AVOID IT!! Pros: Missell, instructor Cons: The owner of the school Marrlo more
