Now they run all over the place and don't hesitate to try new or difficult things. I was so impressed by their new energy, I signed up for the Mom's Kickboxing class, which is just as great as the taekwondo. Master Hong is an amazing instructor. He sets a challenging pace but knows how to keep it fun, which matters a lot for young kids. He has an impressive variety of activities that he uses for each class, and the classes build on each other. You can tell he really pays attention to each student when he praises one for finally kicking higher or faster after working so hard, and the student feels proud of their hard work. We highly recommend Sun Taekwondo Academy.
