I have been studying at a WTF school for about 14 years. I can't speak for all TKD schools but mine is excellent and I wouldn't go to any other. What are you looking for in a martial arts school? Is it enough to learn the best methods of fighting? Or do you want to learn a way of life that will develop your mind body and spirit. Some schools stress fighting, some stress competition, some stress spiritual and mental development and some may have a good mix of all of those things.
I think it is important to be clear about what you are looking to get out of a school and then find an instructor who can teach you that. When you go to this school watch a class and see how the teacher interacts with the students and what he is teaching. Also watch how the students respond and how they treat each other.
Good luck,
John
