Tiger J Kim's World Class Taekwondo 3 — Local services in Pearland

Parents, be warned. If your child is not naturally athletic, this is neither the gym nor the trainer for you. We have seen Master Cho be physically rough with our 7YO son several times, due to lack of patience. He would grab him hard and correct his stance, something he can do without being rough. He is also harder on the boys than he is on the girls. After talking to him about this once, he promised us he would be more patient with him. It didn't take long for him to break that promise. He did it again tonight, and when we spoke to him about it, he essentially shooed my son away.

We work hard at home, talking about consent and speaking up if someone disrespects your physical boundaries. I understand that it is a physical sport, but all other trainers, his helpers or other masters when Master Cho has been absent, that have worked with my son have been gentle and there have been no complaints. Master Cho is the only one who feels entitled enough to put his hands roughly on my son.

I’ve had the incredible privilege of learning Taekwondo from Master Cho, and I can honestly say it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

Every class is a balance of challenging physical training and meaningful life lessons, all taught with patience and genuine care.

Under Master Cho’s guidance, I’ve not only improved my technique and physical strength, but I’ve also grown as a person. He pays attention to every student, making sure we understand the “why” behind each movement, and he always encourages us to give our best, no matter our level. The dojang has such a positive and respectful atmosphere that motivates you to push beyond your limits while still...

We feel truly lucky to have started our child’s Taekwondo journey with Master Cho. He leads each class with great energy and passion, always teaching in a way that connects with each student on their level.

Master Cho doesn’t just teach techniques—he emphasizes respect, discipline, and strong character. Since joining the dojang, our child has become more confident, responsible, and focused, both in and out of class.

Most importantly, the classes are fun and engaging! Our child looks forward to every lesson with excitement.

As a parent, it’s comforting to know our child is being guided by someone as professional and caring as Master Cho. If you’re looking for a place where your child can grow strong physically and mentally through Taekwondo, I highly recommend...
