Overall, it's really good and it's also helps children follow-up directions and improve.It's pretty good for teaching self-defense.There are 3 class times where the first one is at 4 o'clock. The next one is at 5, and the final 1 is at 6.\n They added a few extra belts, normal Taekwondo, and this is my st time trying out taikwando because when I looked at videos of regular Taekwondo, it was showing there were only levels, this has9.
