I was a student of Smith Tae kwon do for 8 years of my life. I started at this school as a white belt and earned my way up to black belt. Unfortunately, I have to recommend that parents do not take their children here to learn a martial art. In my experience, Bob Smith had taken advantage of my young impressionable mind and manipulated my thinking. I was yelled at constantly, and only learned to doubt myself and my opinions, and was taught to respect his thoughts and opinions over my own judgment. As an adult, I can now see the mental repercussions of this type of environment and do not wish the same for another child.
