My son has started taking classes and is a green belt now. After training for 8 years at another TaeKwonDo School, I have been thoroughly impressed with the instruction and dedication that Mr. Baker and his instructors have for the students here. After I have seen the tenants being taught and used more often by my son, I have returned to taking classes as well from Mr. Baker. The School promotes inclusion and equality in all things. I would recommend this TaeKwonDo School too any parent that wants thier child or children to become better versions of themselves.
My daughter has been a dedicated student at Virginia Tae Kwon Do for several years. During this time, we have invested not only our time and money—$110 per month plus testing fees and gear—but also our trust in the leadership of this school. She progressed from white belt to black belt through hard work and discipline. Unfortunately, that same level of discipline and professionalism has not been modeled by the school’s leadership. The head instructor, Mr. Baker, regularly brings his personal political views into the classroom environment. He has shared disturbing anecdotes about immigrants and political talking points that are completely inappropriate for a space where he holds authority over young students. This is especially harmful in a diverse class that includes Black and Brown children, some of whom may be personally affected by the issues he references. I respectfully asked Mr. Baker to keep politics out of the classroom and to be mindful of the impact his words could have on children. He agreed, and he said that he wouldn't bring it up again. However, we soon found out that he was continuing to discuss his views. We tried to address it again. Rather than engaging in a thoughtful dialogue or committing to maintaining a neutral, inclusive environment, he told me our daughter's membership was canceled within minutes of our follow-up conversation. No regard for her years of dedication or accomplishments. Just immediate dismissal. It is deeply disappointing that a student who put in the work to reach black belt status is now forced to find another school—not because of poor behavior or lack of commitment, but because the instructor prioritized pushing his personal agenda over providing a respectful, inclusive environment for all students. I sincerely hope Virginia Tae Kwon Do reconsiders how it handles both parent concerns and the power dynamic that exists between instructors and children. Martial arts should teach integrity, respect, and self-control—not fear, division, or ideology.
Virginia TaeKwonDo & Jiu-Jitsu Academy Review My son has been attending Virginia TaeKwonDo & Jiu-Jitsu Academy for less than a year, and it has been an incredible experience for him. Being smaller than his peers, team sports have always been a challenge, but martial arts has given him a place where he can thrive. He trains twice a week (Monday and Saturday) and has already moved up to a yellow belt. He takes pride in tying his belt himself, and it’s clear he genuinely wants to do well. One of the best parts is how the discipline and respect taught in class are carrying over at home—his little brother has already started mimicking his “yes sirs.” I’m hoping to enroll them both when his brother is old enough. Mr. Baker is fantastic with the kids. He keeps things fun, making them laugh, but also holds them accountable and ensures they’re learning. If you’re looking for a martial arts academy that builds confidence, discipline, and skills in a supportive environment, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!
My two sons have been attending this academy for 3 years and I can whole heartedly say it has been the best thing for their development into becoming men. They have improved in their respect for authority, confidence, and overall social awareness. Mr. Baker displays complete patience and understanding with a stern approach that encourages integrity. There is no doubt that I made the right decision for my sons’ futures. I look forward to continuously witnessing the positive change and the happiness it has brought them.
It’s been three years now and I truly have been impressed by the training my children have received. Master Baker is top notch! His instructors and staff are great with the kids always lending aid when needed. They also ensure the students are ready for their promotions and don’t “give everyone a trophy”. The prices are reasonable. Mrs. Alana Glass is so very helpful and very communicative when it’s time to schedule private lessons, renew membership, and sales of merchandise.
