Absolutely recommended.
I started Taekwondo at Master Chang's Martial Art Chapel Hill with my son (now 6 yo) from summer 2018. We haven't missed almost any class since then and will continue tkd training at this location for a few reasons.
Very kids-friendly atmosphere and schedule. My son was 5 yo and had little focus. I worried he could stop soon. Master Kim and 2 instructors always keep their eye contact with kids and respect them all the way and try their best in leading the WHOLE class to bring up their CONFIDENCE, FOCUS, COURTESY, and BODY TRAINING. Everyday my son waits for tkd time after school.
Family-friendly training program. They provide me good chance to get together with my son at the regular classes and through week's special. And I often see instructors play with baby when her mom and brother attend the class.
Various programs to cover all the generations. I am attending teen and adult class, too. This class helps me working out with various kinds of exciting training repertoire.
Professional skills and mind. Since I trained another Korean martial art - similar to tkd - for 10 years, I can tell that Master Kim has ultimate skills and philosophy of tkd especially in sparring and poomsae. This makes me feel this location especially attractive.
Reasonable tuition for those aiming at the black belt. I enjoy workout and tkd a lot so I need more classes. In almost a year of tkd training, I attend 2-3 classes everyday through black belt program which helps me set up and...
Read moreMy son has been learning Taekwondo at this location for a little over two years now. He had been struggling a bit recently and we were even considering leaving, but then Masters Jo and Ki took over at the beginning of the year and things have really turned around. Before, it only seemed like my son got attention when he did something wrong or was goofing off. Now, I see him, and every other student, getting individual attention when they need it, as well as encouragement and praise. They are fair and empathetic with all their students and they are excellent in their communication with parents. At the same time, Masters Jo and Ki have brought much needed discipline and structure to the classes (I see kids doing basic exercises, like jumping jacks and push-ups, correctly now!). If you want to succeed, you have to be willing to do the work. They ask that of their students and I see those students accept the challenge and excel. My son has a new dedication to Taekwondo now. I see him actively practicing at home, but also asking questions in class and requesting additional help in order to gain additional learning opportunities. He is more respectful of his classmates and more disciplined and focused in his other activities at home. I'm so glad Masters Jo and Ki came to this location. It has been a fresh start for us and I'm so happy that my son is enjoying his experience with...
Read moreOur experience at Master Chang's Martial Arts has been truly exceptional. From our first interaction, it was evident that they prioritize both the art of taekwondo and the well-being of their students.
The instructors are outstanding. Master Jo is not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and encouraging with the kids. My son has grown in his confidence and discipline since starting here, which has positively influenced his attitude at home and school.
The atmosphere at Master Chang's is warm and inviting and Master Ki ensures that. I appreciate how the instructors emphasize respect, perseverance, and the importance of hard work, teaching valuable life lessons alongside taekwondo skills.
The classes include a good balance of learning taekwondo skills and fun activities. They incorporate games and challenges that keep the kids motivated and excited to come back each week. My son has made new friends and feels part of a supportive community.
Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with our decision to enroll at Master Chang's Martial Arts. It's been a positive and enriching journey for my son, and I would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a place where their child can learn taekwondo in a safe, supportive, and inspiring...
