Next Generation Taekwondo 255 Montague Road, Ingle Farm, South Australia 5098

"Though I haven’t been here in many years from my experience I had a great time and learned very much from the instructor Mr. Patterson. I made my way to the black belt level and was truly impressed by my improvements, I gained so much confidence and felt proud to be where I was at. After reading a few of the reviews I can say that these are mostly coming from parents who expected quick changes with their kids who in my opinion don’t know any better, I started when I was around nine and improvements do happen quickly but if you truly want to change and improve for the better you have to play the long game. If you want the most you have to put in the most. True the gradings can get a little pricy the later you get but I still wouldn’t change a thing, I learnt so much even though I only spent three years there. Miss you guys hope it’s still going well! - Brooklyn Harris"

"More of a business model than actual teachings. Would not recommend to anyone. Constantly having “grading” so we have to pay. Everyone passes. My kid is yellow belt 3 stripes is the same as white belt at a different dojo."

"What they are telling before sign in do not match after completing signing. 1. Before sighing they told us that if I want to cancel the enrollment, I have to give them 6 weeks notice in normal situation. But in case of urgent cases, I can cancel it without 6 weeks notice. Due to my job, I have to move another place and asked them that i want to cancel because of this reason. That time they told me this is not a issue that they will cancel enrollment on urgent basis. so I have to pay 6 weeks before cancellation. I am moving from here, it is not urgent case for them, how fumy their concept is. 2. Before sing in they said that weekly payment will be only $22, but after sign in they charged $28.80 during first payment including $5.5 as setup fee. Also they are charging $1.30 as administration fee each week. All these information they hid before sign in. 3. Their training concept is the worst one. They show what to do in the class, but are not taking care of individual students if they can not understand or can not follow the instruction. 4. They charged fees during Christmas and New year closer but has not offered any make up classes. my kid is going to swimming lessons, they were also closed during Christmas and did not charge for that week. My overall experience is they are the worst training institute I have ever seen. They only know how to take money from others pocket, without giving proper service. Going with them is a total waste of money."

"I didn't realize I was posting on Ingle farm, hence the edit in my post so apologies to Mr Patterson. I joined my son 4 at the time in early July. Administration explained prior to trial class, that the trainer would hold the joining fee $49 and $20 lessons, but when joining, the instructor (hollywood plaza) mentioned something about new financial year and couldn't hold the prices, so it cost $65 to join $22 for 30 minute lessons, also I paid in advance for a lesson, which I have only recently realized was taken into consideration so I apologize the trial class was free thanks. I recieved an email from Mr Josh on the 14th July 21 welcoming me and reminding me the first payment was to come out on the 13th July 21,, yeh the day before. Lucky had the money in account so not an issue. I stopped taking my boy in November as he was kicking his 1 year old brother in the stomach, as he wasn't taught first this training was for self defense only, was difficult for me to get the point accross and I knew he enjoyed going so I stopped taking him hoping this would get thru to him. No one from admin called or emailed to follow up his absense, payments were still coming out so I sent an email to stop the payments until further notice, they rang and explained can only suspend payments for 4 weeks, I had already previously suspended for 3 weeks in the year, the money taken couldn't be put to future classes either, nice way of showing they care, made me feel a little intimidated and taken advantage of. When I explained reason why my boy hadn't been, was told I should be teaching him this is for self defense, good thing this is award winning classes. I said I would like to cancel as I felt this was not in the best interest of teaching my child what I believe is beneficial and for what is advertised, they stated I need to put it in writing and they will start 6 week cancellation payments, I asked in email to please honour some payments already made where son hadn't attended but no consideration noted. Payments made where Xmas and New Years studio closed anyway seemed like non contractual, but they cared so much better to their pockets rather than my child, nice contract. We were going to pay 6 month in advance, so glad we didn't do that option. I did make it clear thru email that I wouldn't be bringing my child to classes anymore and taking money from my account, I thought this was not a good way to accumulate honour for this organization and it felt somewhat bullying, as if they believed they somewhat own a customer because a contract was signed. Had I felt they did care about customer satisfaction I would have given a better rating, more than $220 was taken without training, I should have cancelled earlier. Payments have now stopped. This was just my experience and I'm sure others have had better experiences. All the best"

"We have been attending Next Generation Taekwondo Ingle Farm with Mr Paterson for 4+ years. He is incredibly passionate and dedicated to his students and their journey, not only in Martial Arts, but also in life. We have 2 children with medical complexities and he has been committed to supporting them and understanding them to focus on their strengths, helping our kids be successful in and out of the studio. Mr Paterson understands when to challenge and when to nurture the students to help their growth. All of this is what makes him a positive role model, and like family to many of his students."
