Atlanta Choong-Sil Kwan Tae kwon do - Taekwondo Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

My son started taking classes at the age of 6. We thought it would be good for discipline, commitment, self defense, and his self esteem. Little did we know that at the age 15 we would achieved the rank of 2nd Degree Black Belt. The staff is AWESOME. They offer a high energetic and positive atmosphere. They are not only there to support you in class but outside of class as well. If you are thinking about taking Tae kwon do or any of the other classes that is offered I HIGHLY recommend Atlanta Choong-Sil Mean Take Kwon do. read more

They have been great with following cdc guidelines and infection control throughout this pandemic. It has been a great place for our son to learn new skills , grow, be able to run and have fun all at the same time. read more

My daughter has been taking classes here since Oct 2016 and loves going to class every time! Her self-confidence and excitement for martial arts skyrocketed in our first 6 months here. We started with the homeschool classes, which allowed me to take SkillzFit class at the same time (that's as close to "me" time as I get). We did Summer Camp here too, and had a blast! Now, she's in the afterschool program...still loving it & still practicing at home on her own! read more

This school has been so great for our family. Both our 5 and 2 year old attend and over the passed several months I have noticed increased discipline, focus, improved gross and fine motor skills, respect, and patience. These tend to be the hardest to teach young children. John and his staff are caring and patient. They truly have the child's best interest and well being at heart. We have just started our journey here and I am looking forward to many years ahead. read more

My son has been attending Tae kwon do for about two years now and he loves it! The most beneficial part about him attending for me is the psychological teaching and awareness for the students and parents, that will enhance our identity as a fulfilled individual. Their communication is impeccable, via face to face, phone, and continuously on Facebook. Also I love the concern and firmness from the owner and instructors for my child's well being as a whole, it feels like family. Last, the creativity of the instructors provide a fun and lively atmosphere. Awesome martial arts program, try it for yourself! read more

My 6-year-old son loves the after school program and he's learning so much. He enjoys showing off his new skills and is building confidence in himself.

I was going through my timehop on Facebook and saw where my child was a green belt two years ago and I had a moment where I realized I needed to preach of the amazing stuff of Atlanta Choong-Sil Kwan. Background story: My daughter had a very close bond with my foster dad, who had received his 1stDan in Kukkiwon in Seoul back in the 70's. Ever since she was two, she would practice kicks with him and would tell him that she planned to follow in his foot steps. Taekwondo was life for him. It was life for her. But first, she had a plan. It had to go by her terms. Which meant we went through all the sports first. Ballet. T-Ball. Soccer. Basketball. Swim. And she hated all of it. So when she was 6 and told me she was ready for Taekwondo, I just knew that within 2 weeks, we would be back at square one in finding something she would enjoy. She started in 02/16. I am a Scrooge McDuck. I don't spend money on anything unless I absolutely have to. So when I found a Groupon deal AND had a Groupon coupon on top of that, I figured that 6 weeks and an uniform for $9 was a freaking steal. We walked in, and she rushed to the mats. And she was in love. By the end of the first week, we had signed up for a year long membership commitment. Even though not much time had passed, I could tell this is where she belonged. Within two months, she earned her yellow belt. The realist in me thought that was way too quick. I had scouted out several other dojangs and had not been impressed on the number of McDojo's I had found. I did not want my kid to be in a belt mill. Afterall, my foster dad would kill me if I did. So at first, I was bummed. I thought I had made an error. But, the mom in me was super excited for her. And she was excited. And she stuck with it. Besides, she was less moody, her behavior had improved, she was listening better, not arguing, sticking up for herself instead of crying over every little thing. So, in and of that, worth it. Anyways, shortly after she earned her yellow belt, she learned about the Olympics. And after talking it over with my foster dad, suddenly she had her eyes on that. HAHAHAH! Oh, I had a good laugh over that. Until she learned about an upcoming tournament and she was the first one to sign up for it. And my wee little yellow belt grabbed sparring gear and went at it. And..she sucked. I mean, her forms were good. But she could not spar to save her life. But I noticed something in that moment. She knew she sucked. But she was going to do it anyways. And I noticed how much John and his team saw her ambition. And how much they were not just instructors, but coaches, friends, mentors, shoulders, and role models. It was then that I realized that it wasn't just my child who wanted these things, they wanted it with her. Not for her...no, they never forced any of it on her (in fact, they are ITF, not WTF, which is a requirement of the Olympics.) No, they wanted it with her because she wanted it. The day she got her green belt (two years ago today) was the day I realized that she had not been given that yellow belt too quickly. She had earned it. And she had earned this one. And they saw potential in her that at the time, I had missed. Today, she blows my mind. She is 9. And she hold a "black belt." Okay...so...it is mostly black. She is not a 1stDan. They are NOT a belt mill, she has had to earn every last belt she has and there have been times she did not test. She had moments where she wanted to quit (twice, right after she boomed a tournament and right after when my foster dad died.) She had moments where attitude won out (she is 9 after all.) But she stuck with it. And they have been there, every step of the way. I won't lie...not every child will have the same results as mine. Not every child will go through the belts as quickly as she has. A lot of it really does depend on the child. Mine practices just about daily in the garage and shows up to every class we will let her and time affords. Not all kids have that drive. But this dojang will feed on your child's energy and put just as much if not more effort into them than your child puts into the art. Because that is what they do. They are no longer just instructors. They are family. And I would not have it any other way. This is where we belong. This is where she belongs. They are home. read more
