I am 59 years old and have been under Master Mike's instruction for about a year. His unique Silver Samurai program for 50+ers opens up martial arts to almost everybody. Some of the more rigorous exercise and sparring required of younger students are modified for us who are not so agile and limber as we used to be (though anyone is free to try their best with Family group instruction under the Master's guidance). We train vigorously in forms, board breaking, and Tai Chi, and can also take instruction in weapons proficiency including bo staff, nunchuks, and sword (awesome!). Master Mike teaches proper martial arts etiquette and philosophy, and his goal is not just to guide you to a black belt, but to create in you a true martial artist. He even presents programs periodically in Korean language and calligraphy, and other aspects of Korean culture. He expects focus and effort in his program, but also insists that you have fun, and indeed I have. I have pushed myself farther than I thought I could at Millenium, and I (we) have found Tae Kwon Do under Master Mike to be a lifestyle. I plan on doing this for a long time to come. To all 50+ers who have thought they might want to try a martial arts education...Millenium Academy is the place to be. Give Master Mike a call!
Pros: The camaraderie and energy in this academy!
Cons: None that I can think of.
