We've been really happy with our experience at Best Taekwondo in Quincy…read more My wife practiced Taekwondo when she was growing up in Korea and earned her 3rd-degree black belt as a teenager, so she really wanted our two young girls, who are 3 1/2 and 4 years old, to have the opportunity to learn Taekwondo as well. We tried a couple of places closer to our home, but for one reason or another, they just didn't work out. After getting a couple of referrals from people at our church, we decided to give Best Taekwondo a try--and we're really glad we did. What really stands out to us is Master Seo. He is one of the select few Kukkiwon 8th-degree Grand Masters, which is pretty amazing, but what we appreciate most is how friendly and down-to-earth he is. He knows all of his students by name and really pays attention to each child. You can tell that he genuinely cares about his students and wants them to improve. Our girls, who are 3 1/2 and 4, really enjoy the kids' classes. My wife and I take the young adult class at 5:30 PM, which is a separate class from the kids' classes. It's been really nice that our whole family can practice Taekwondo at the same dojang, while the kids and adults have classes that are appropriate for their ages. The dojang is actually about 30 minutes from our house, so it's definitely not the closest Taekwondo school for us. But we still make the drive 2-3 times a week because we really like the environment and the instruction. For us, the extra drive is completely worth it. The dojang is small, but we actually really like that. It's very clean, comfortable, and cozy, and because Master Seo is the only instructor, the classes feel very personal. He knows the students, remembers their names, and pays attention to their individual progress. You don't get the feeling that you're just another student in a big school. Finding the right place for our girls was important to us, especially because my wife has a Taekwondo background herself. After trying a few places, we finally found somewhere that feels like the right fit for our family. If you're looking for a Taekwondo school in Quincy, especially for young kids, we definitely recommend giving Best Taekwondo a try. Great Master, great atmosphere, and a place that really feels like a family.

A Truly Transformative Experience…read more We couldn't be more grateful for the experience our family has had at this Taekwondo school. It has been absolutely wonderful for our children, who have grown immensely in confidence, discipline, and focus since joining. The instructors are incredibly dedicated, patient, and skilled at working with kids of all ages and levels. Watching our children develop not only their physical skills but also important life values has been truly rewarding. As an adult, I also decided to join the classes -- and it's one of the best decisions I've made. Practicing Taekwondo has significantly improved my concentration and overall physical condition. The training sessions are challenging yet enjoyable, and they've become a great source of motivation and balance in my daily life. This school provides so much more than just martial arts training. It offers a supportive community, personal growth, and a positive environment for all ages. Highly recommended!

It is excellent exercise with strength, flexibility, balance, cardio, and agility, but much more than that it helps with the development of personal character and being strong in the winds of life. Working together makes everyone feel better and helps dispel the gloom of winter or politics--or whatever is going on in your life. There is a genuine caring in the very skilled and thoughtful teaching, with some good humor mixed, in so that anyone can enjoy it from very little children (some with incredible skills) to us old parents verging on 50. You will get stronger and progress! It has been very important to us and a really fun and positive experience. This is a very well run place with many resources, skills, and years of experience. They are really good people and truly care. Don't be afraid and just contact them! You won't regret it. (Well, you might regret it in the middle of some sets, but you will be grateful afterward and feel so much better!)

I've been going here for 2.5 years and I love it! The masters (instructors) are super nice and…read moreencouraging and really great at teaching. All the other students are super nice as well, and more experienced students also help out beginners. There are students of all ages, from 6 to 60 (although not in the same class), and sometimes families (like mine) go and train together. You will get a lot fitter; learn basic kicks, punches, blocks, and so on; learn how to integrate those into forms and combinations; learn self-defense techniques; and, if you so choose, learn the sport of Taekwondo sparring. When I first started, I was at the school 2 hours a week, although that has increased to about 8 hours; you truly become part of a community that draws you in. That feeling as you get stronger and better at what you're doing, earning your next belt or scoring a point in a sparring match, that really is the best.

After looking at many different schools, we were sold on the Cha family as soon as we watched one of their classes for children. The Cha's artfully mixed rigor and discipline with compassion and understanding in managing a diverse group of students while keeping the class fun but structured. We were also impressed with their offering of family classes that allowed parents and children to train together--something which helped keep my son going through the program and kept him committed past his black belt. The Cha's are also very committed to the community they have built among their school's members. They do what they can to help and support families and were outstanding during the pandemic by structuring online classes, developing a remote testing program so that students could advance in rank, and driving and delivering belts to the students. Leading by example, the Cha's have created a community of members who are all supportive and respectful of each other. Since re-opening in the summer of 2021 in a beautiful new location, the Cha's are offering an outstanding program of in-person training (masked for now). Cha's Taekwon-Do is an excellent place for children to build confidence and discipline (that translates to school work), for families to train together and share in the experience, and for adults to improve their fitness and flexibility while learning a practical martial art. I have seen many other martial arts schools over the years and none compares to Cha's Taekwon-Do. It is definitely worth a look.

As a kid who sometimes has trouble concentrating in school, he is always focused in the taekwondo classes.

I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a martial arts school for themselves or their children.

The curriculum is age appropriate, and the instructors are extremely attentive and responsive to kid's needs and level. I also really love that their teaching model has mentorship built in: senior youth students (black and near black belts) are always present as assistant instructors to support classes, which makes kids get individualized attention even if it's a large class. There can sometimes be a bit of a delay when communicating via email, but they always respond and are very accommodating.

Are the instructors qualified to teach or care about their students? Are there enough classes offered to keep a regular schedule? This school checks all right criteria to be a good school. Not only a good one, it is probably one of the best one in the world! This happens to be my 22nd martial arts school I attended during my lifetime, and I will have really hard time when I need to relocate due to my job. I am spoiled to drop in whenever I want since there are classes both noon time and in the afternoon all week. No schools have such a vast class offering. Thank you Mr. Hwang!

I was only a student at this school for a couple of months (my own scheduling conflicts), but I…read morefound the space and all of the teachers to be fantastic. Each teacher definitely has their different styles--some were really good at verbally explaining a particular technique,while others taught best through physical instruction. Apparently, the man who started this school, Jae H Kim, studied with the best tae kwon do master of this century (I've been told Kim's mentor created this particular martial art, but it's been around, in some form, for hundreds of years, so...) My fellow classmates were helpful and I never felt I was being judged if I hadn't fully learned a move. The manager of the school, Mr Wong, is the sort of teacher every student (child or adult) loves to have: he's relaxed and compassionate, but still gets you to do the work! You learn discipline here, but don't feel like anyone will get out the rod if you mess up. And...it's a true community. It's not quite as tight as the capoeira group I studied with, but still a definite collective. You'll have to sign up for a 6-month commitment when you join, which I think is good, since the whole reason I joined was to gain more discipline. And they'll hook you up with a uniform and make you feel at home. So go try it out!
