I fought traffic for 45 minutes to an hour to get there and it was worth every minute.

The atmosphere is warm and friendly and students are treated like family.

I started sending my son to Master Yoon after a year off from the sport…read more We were unhappy with our previous dojo due to the lack of discipline and respect shown by the students and their parents - coming in late, eating in the gym, talking on the cell phones, carrying on loud conversations while the kids were trying to pay attention to their Master. Unfortunately the owners put up with this to get as many kids in the class as possible and eventually we realized it was more of a farm situation where belts were given out easily instead of earned. It wasn't for us. I took my time finding the right place for us. And finally did with Master Yoon's Champions! He's an excellent Master. He's a world-class Olympic champion. He cares so much for the kids. And takes his art very seriously. Master Yoon instills pride and discipline and respect. He's strict and gives corrections but is very patient and allows the students the time to make the correction even if it takes 5, 6, 7 times. The children listen, they obey, they learn and they end up feeling proud of themselves - and when they get a belt, they know they've earned it. My son knows that what he is learning is important, I've never seen him so focused as he is in class - I wish he would listen to me like he does Master Yoon! I love this place. I highly recommend it if you truly want your child to really learn taekwondo properly. (Master Yoon also teaches adults, does black belt training and a cardio kickboxing class - but I only have experience with him - so far- as an instructor to my kids).

This place is fantastic! My child has been going to Master Yoon's for about 18 months, and we have…read moreseen so much progress in not only his TKD skills, but in his physical strength, focus, and endurance. He knows it's challenging, but he likes the challenge and enjoys when he ultimately succeeds. We go twice a week, and there is a fixed schedule for the month so you know what days of the week a class is offered for your child's level. And I want to make clear that the head instructor and owner, Master Yoon, is at every.single.class. He is the teacher. His sons help, and some of the older students also work as helpers. But Master Yoon is there every single day, every single class. He knows every child by name. He knows what they are capable of, and knows how to push them just a little bit farther each time. He is very serious, but also always laughs and jokes around with the kids. So they like him, but they know when he has put on his serious face and it's time to stop clowning around. And this is not a belt-mill. If you are not ready to test, you don't get to test. And even when you get to test for the next belt level, I have seen him fail kids that didn't perform well enough during testing. So there's no guarantee that you can just pay your way to black belt. Do I have any complaints? As you move up in belts, there are less options for class times. For "No belt to orange", a class is offered 5 days a week. For "Green to blue", it's just 3 times a week. So it gets a little harder to manage the schedule as your child advances. And Master Yoon speaks quickly, so a year in I still have trouble understanding him sometimes, and I think the kids do too, especially at first. I would highly recommend this place. And the way it works, you get a cheaper 6-week trial so you can see if it's a good fit for your kid.

We appreciate that coach Janel and coach Jared ignited my son's passion in martial arts! Students love them! They not only have impressive skills in martial arts with numerous international championships, but also are fantastic coaches. They made the training challenging and yet fun, motivating students for continuous improvement to the next level. They also organized various team building events, like pizza parties, ice pop treat, volleyball games, to engage students. The coaches really care about individual students. They are very kind, willing to make extra efforts to help student's personal growth. They reach out to support and encourage students. My son became enthusiastic about martial arts. He takes every opportunity to attend the practices, and feels proud of the completion of each class where he overcomes new challenges. Through training, he made tremendous improvement on strength and flexibility. My son has participated in several demos and competitions. That's a great motivator for him to improve his skills and to strengthen self-confidence. Coach Jenny is very caring, always smiling and patient, checking out the perfect size of outfit and weapon for each student. She also took a lot of photos/videos of every event and thoughtfully organized them into one directory for each student, for a memorable experience. The team members also cheer up for each other like a big family. The coaches work with students of different levels and help them to strive for the best self. We recommended three new students from different families ranging from 7 years old to 13 years old to join the school, and they liked it! I thought it'd be helpful to spread the word to benefit more students who may be interested in martial arts.

I found this place through their Open Houses on Friday nights for tae kwondo (to possibly sign up…read moremy 4 year old daughter), not knowing they have cardio kickboxing in this place. Gina who is a very active member of this martial arts center gave an inspiring speech about her family going here for tae kwon do and her going here 4 x a week for cardio kickboxing and lost a ton of weight. So, I took a free trial class and liked it alot....sweat alot to rocking music! I was surprised we do not wear shoes to do cardio kickboxing, just your feet. What is the cardio-kickboxing routine? Stretching for say 10 minutes and cardio kickboxing for 25 minutes , a 2 minutes water break and 15 minutes working on the pads and crunches and another 8 minutes for stretching. My daughter on the other hand wasn't crazy about tae kwondo but I think it's because of the discipline. I saw her and she was pretty good at it. I think this place is great for kids to build self-esteem and do some martial arts moves. You may be concerned that if kids learn this, they may do some violent moves on others. That is not the case as I was interviewing several parents at the place. If anything, it made the child more confident and respectful to others. They could defend themselves if necessary. The instructors or Masters we call them are gold Olympians on tae kwondo and teach cardio kickboxing classes. They train some serious black belt tae kwon do students for future Olympians if you want to go there. You don't mess with these guys...they're good what they do. Don't be intimidated, they are really nice Korean guys....English is so-so but you can understand what they're saying. It's a family owned business practically. One of the Masters is a father of 2 boys, one 3 years old and one about 20 months old. His wife works all the marketing, administrative and accounting work. They're such a cute family. The place is relatively clean as everybody who enters into this place must take their shoes off and place them on the shelves. Price is $99 unlimited attendance or $60 a month for a month once a week. That's me as the only time I could make this class is 8-9am on Saturday mornings before my crazy schedule of classes with my 4 year old. You could bring your child to have him or her watch you kickbox. I did this but felt uneasy as part of me is watching her behave nicely on the sidelines and not concentrating on the kickbox moves.
