The Ra family is top notch. Their whole family is involved in making my son and every one of their student's experience a great one. My son was a little nervous when he started but they have a way of teaching that instills confidence and pride. I was worried that he would be just a number but among a sea of students but the Ra family takes the time and energy to learn every student, their strengths and weakness in helping them become their very best. I highly recommend AGAPE Black Belt Studio. We are well on our way to becoming a black belt and plan to keep going! Thank you Ra family!!!
I can't say enough positive things about Agape Black Belt Center (ABBC) in Pittsford, NY! My son has been enrolled in both Taekwondo and the after-school program, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Operated by the dedicated and impressive Korean family Ra, ABBC is a place that goes beyond just teaching martial arts. The Ra family embodies qualities such as organization, self-control, and respect, setting a fantastic example for all the students. I am particularly impressed with the emphasis on instilling positive behavior in the children. The commitment to teaching not only the physical aspects of Taekwondo but also the importance of good behavior and values is truly commendable. I have witnessed tremendous growth and excellent performance in my son since he joined ABBC. The Ra family's influence extends beyond the martial arts lessons, creating an environment where children learn valuable life skills. Choosing ABBC for my son's after-school activities was one of the best decisions I've made. It's not just a place to learn Taekwondo; it's a community that fosters discipline, respect, and positive behavior. I highly recommend Agape Black Belt Center to any parent looking for a wholesome and enriching experience for their child.
ABBC has changed my life! My son is excelling everywhere! If I could select 100 stars, it still wouldn’t be enough. ABBC has changed my life. My son has been attending summer camp, e-learning/ after-school and Tae Kwon Do classes. He is excelling everywhere! The team at Agape goes above and beyond. They are courteous and professional while maintaining a real family atmosphere. I plan on keeping my son enrolled for as long as possible. Any family would be fortunate to welcome Agape into their lives.
I cannot say enough good things about how Agape responded and supported its students during COVID 19. The virtual classes allowed for some “normalcy” and at the end of the class having the instructors check in on how the kids were doing (even if they did not answer the question) let them know that they were there for them. As parents, we can only do so much to reassure our kids. When people look up to their instructors and them an opportunity to share how they feel goes a long way. 2020 Summer Camp has been an absolute blessing. I have the utmost confidence ABBC is creating a safe environment for Gia. Better yet, Gia feels incredibly safe at Agape. You created a fun and welcoming environment for the kids. As you know, we kept adding weeks 🙂 Mr. Chiantera and I are so grateful for Agape and we are confident it will be a big part of Gia’s life for a LONG time.
Joining the Agape Black Belt Center over the past year has been one of the best decisions ever for our family and children. We took a leap of faith and signed up for their Summer camp program. The kids absolutely loved it! The Ra family is so professional, loving, & attentive not only to the children’s individual needs but also to the policies and procedures surrounding keeping a safe environment as we work to overcome the challenges. Their facility is expansive, very clean and the kids have developed a level of respect for themselves, their peers, and for their instructors that is unmatched. We also joined the afterschool and TKD programs which have helped to reinforce their confidence, focus, and independence! I highly recommend ABBC as a place for your children and families to grow together!
I know that your team has been a great help with this and I want to say again thank you for everything. My son has been doing really well with his homework and tests the past few weeks. I know that your team has been a great help with this and I want to say again thank you for everything. He has been so proud to come home and share the news on his good test grades. We’re really happy this program is available to give him one-on-one help and focus. Thank you!
Agape Black Belt Center has been a huge blessing to many of us. They anticipate the needs of a child and help build their confidence. And the word “Respect” is not just like any word. It is put into practice the hour you sign up. The instructors are like the children’s guidance counselors. They know every child by name in the center which also shows they care. Very caring environment but very disciplined instructions. Coming to Agape and being around such a wonder what we call role models to us parents and our children. Thank you for everything you do.
I've been doing taekwondo for 7 years here and I can say it has been amazing. Everyone is so nice and encouraging, I would recommend it to anyone interested in martial arts!!!
We love Agape! The Ra family is incredible and our son looks forward to seeing them every day at the superb after-school program and in class. There is a wonderful sense of expertise, calm, and respect that is priceless at Agape. We are looking forward to sending our younger child as soon as she is 4.
