I have been a martial artist for more than 50 years I have train with some of the best in the world and I can say that training at Grand Master Chong's studio is the highlight of my martial arts career. It's not every day that you have the opportunity of training with such an amazing martial arts Grand Master. He is humble, wise and loves what he does. His son, Master Young, Master Rhee (you may remember him from the film saga "The Best of the Best"), and the rest of the staff are simply incredibly high-skilled martial artists. This studio became my home and a family that I deeply love. If you want to change your life, or your children's, this is the place to be at. read more

Our family is so happy to have found this school. The teachers here are so knowledgeable, patient and encouraging with my young son.

Extraordinarily knowledgeable, patient, professional instructors! The best of L.A.! My kid loves it very much, he can't wait for the class (we go twice a week). Very large mat, bright room, spacious, great atmosphere. Very zen. Grand Master Chung is a martial arts legend, we are extremely honored to have met him, to have his excellent expertise ! Prices are very reasonable, flexible schedule for kids and adults. I highly recommend it! Now they have a newly opened second location in Santa Monica. Love it! read more

Wow! Where do I begin. This place has been a life changer for both of our kids that have been attending Jun Chong for more than 7 years. Our oldest son got his first degree black belt here and the feeling of this amazing achievement had brought so much joy to our family! Our daughter has never been so inspired and motivated to get hers now!This is one of the very few schools out in Los Angeles that kept the old ways of teaching and disciplining! In addition, just by being around the iconic grandmaster Chong (9th degree black belt) who has dedicated his entire life of making such a tremendous impact to the world of martial arts is such an honor! They also offer this amazing advanced black belt class on Monday evenings taught by the legendary Phillip Rhee himself (Best of the Best). I grew up watching his movies and am beyond grateful that our children have such amazing instructors to look up to! This dojo kept it in the family, and the second generation masters such as Yong Chong are nothing but awesome! We have recommended this school to dozens of friends and family members that started coming to Jung Chong Martial Arts and couldn't be more happy with the results and confidence their kids are gaining from here! Highly recommend this amazing school to everyone from beginners to advanced! So many parents have joined their children and are feeling great they can spend quality time with their kids on the floor mat as well as stay healthy and fit! Taekwondo has helped our kids to excel in other activities such as basketball, soccer, dance and win numerous local and national competitions! Thank you guys! read more

See all

The best instructors! We love it there! Our son has been going for over a year and has learned so much!

I sincerely apologize! I just reviewing my yelp tonight and find out this. My son use to have an access to my computer and wrote a lot of reviews for many bussiness. We love Your place ! read more

My 11 year old son began studying with and at "Jun Ching" Tae Kwon Do nearly 6 years ago. I attribute his positive self esteem and attitude, strength and fitness, respectfulness, and many other qualities to this incredible school, Master Jun Chong and his other wonderful Masters. My son will become a black belt in June 2011 and has gained an incredible skill that he loves, enjoys immeasurable personal satisfaction and positive self worth, and as an added gift has made some wonderful friendships as well. I also believe that TKD at Jun Chong Tae Kwan Do has instilled the desire for excellence in other sports my son enjoys and no doubt contributes to my son's many academic achievements in school as well. Jun Chong Tae Kwon Do, what a great experience for any kid..... read more

We've been coming here for about 3 weeks now and my son (and I) absolutely LOVE this place!! My son cannot stop talking about martial arts and tae kwon do and just yesterday as he tried jumping on my back, he fell backwards onto the floor and managed to save himself with the "back fall" move. I think I was in shock because he fell backwards onto the floor and my son was in shock because he actually did a tae kwon do move without even realizing. lol. he was really proud =) All the instructors are really great and Grandmaster Chong is SO so friendly =) I know a couple people who have attended/attend here and they all rave about it and say how this place is the best one after researching others. Summer specials are going on right now...I think you save 10%. The only thing that I don't like is the parking...it's tinnnny and awkward =/ read more

This dojang is great. Not only are the sabamnim professional, but they make it fun too. I learned a lot while I was here and I feel that coming here improved my life (in various ways) This place is a bit on the expensive side. If you purchase a membership for three years you will get a discount. It gets more and more expensive as you commit to a shorter period of time. I was also told by many people that these guys are great with kids. This would be a good place to send your child to instill a bit of discipline. I do, however, believe that they are moving from this location. Their new location is not far and they do have other locations around the LA area. read more

I come from two other martial arts styles/systems with black belts in both and was unsure of what to expect when starting here. They have been exceptionally welcoming and encouraging as well as patient as I decided whether or not to sign up. Most of the time at the Santa Monica Blvd location where I train primarily with Mr. Armen who is talented and clearly enjoys teaching TKD and Hapkido. I consider myself lucky having found this school. When I have the time I train at this location as well which is also enjoyable and stacked with quality instructors including Grandmaster Jun Chong himself and Master Phillip Rhee just to name a couple. Highly recommend for those interested in Tae Kwon Do! read more

A perfect mix of traditional discipline and technique with modern understanding. This is my new martial art home in LA. So glad I was recommend to come here! read more

I'm so impressed with this program and I love seeing how excited my grandson is about going. He absolutely loves it! The reviews are beyond impressive, as are the results. What a wonderful discipline for kids of all ages and it's amazing how much to be gained in so many aspects. I look forward to visiting here and watching my grandson in action every time I'm in town! read more

I went here almost 22 years ago and now taking my son. Great school and instructors. The owner Master is a great man. Highly recommend here read more

Jun Chong Martial Arts - Taekwondo Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I love going here with its wonderful, thorough and friendly instructors and good learning pace. The nice thing is that if you ever desire to become an instructor yourself this place will do everything to prepare you for it along the way. read more

BEST TAE KWON DO STUDIO! If you're full of excuses, cry about every little thing & quit easily-- this is not the place for you. The instructors hold high standards for their students & don't expect anything less. I've gained so much more than I expected prior to joining. Thank you Jun Chong Tae Kwon Do! read more

Training with Maestro Danny is like taking wrestling and Jiu-jitsu class all in one class. Having extensively trained in both disciplines, He has merged both into his style of BJJ. His approach to teaching is very direct and simple by focusing on high percentage techniques and followed by controlled sparring. Everyone in his class (that I have rolled with) is very humble and is open to sharing technique and gave me insight to my progress. My martial arts journey has definitely has been improved with the time I had spent with him and I am a better person and martial artist for it. read more

Have been taking my son and daughter to this school for the past 2 years and have been really impressed with the school, curriculum and instructors. They don't just hand out belts to the kids but make them work hard for them. I really like that they teach traditional Tae Kwon Do as opposed to MMA or some other kind of hybrid martial arts. I highly recommend it. read more

My son is now a student here. He loves the program. As a parent I appreciate the professionalism of all teachers and office staff. They are family owned and operated and are 100% dedicated to the school and their students. I could say a lot more but I suggest you get in and see for yourself. read more

Couldn't make it to my home gym, and had an opportunity to stop in for a class with Daniel. Nice mix of students for drilling and free training. Will definitely stop in again when I'm in the area. read more

I've been training BJJ for a few months now. Professor Daniel is by far one of the best BJJ instructor's. I've seen my grappling game flourish to another level. Professor Daniel takes the time to make sure each student performs the techniques correctly and grasp the concepts being taught. Moreover, my two little brother's also train BJJ with Professor Daniel and they are getting better every single time. read more

I've been going here for Brazilian Jiujitsu for almost a year now and highly recommend it to those interested in learning proper BJJ techniques. Classes are taught by Daniel Cruz, who is black belt under Gerson Sanginitto. Daniel takes the time to ensure every student is attended to and getting the training down to proper form. Classes can be intense between warming up, learning new moves followed by sparring. You'll leave feeling more confident in getting a great training session. Mostly white and blue belts. Class size is great for those looking for a more personalized experience. This school is affiliated with Gerson's in Culver City and membership includes training at both studios. read more

I have been attending Jun Chong Tae Kwon Do for almost two decades. Over the course of two pregnancies I earned my blackbelt. This place is the real deal. You will experience what a real mind body connection is the first time you have to break a board. You will be really amazed the first time your kids do it. The martial arts will teach you about respect, honor, discipline and get your body into incredible shape. The sparring becomes a gigantic metaphor for how we react to all things in life. Sometimes the greatest defense is simply to move out of the way of a strike. We are lucky to have a Grand Master like Jun Chong in our vicinity to learn from. read more

This school has been around for a long time. They recently relocated just a block from the original site. I think this new location is better, seems bigger. It has been owned and operated by the same Grandmaster Chong. So if you are in for a great workout, and at the same time learn some self defense, look no further, here you will find professionalism, meet great people, and improve your self confidence. read more

Great school with awesome teachers! They offer a variety of classes such as TKD, BJJ, and escrima and are open seven days a week which totally works with my work schedule. Highly recommended for those looking for quality martial arts training! read more

I have been training at Jun Chong Martial Arts for nearly 20 years (with some interruptions here and there). It is THE place for martial arts. The benefits have been substantial, and I recommend this school for self-defense; for conditioning; for inner peace; for life. read more

Jun Chong Tae Kwon Do has been the top dojang for decades. My family went their in the early 1990's and even today, Jun Chong Tae Kwon Do is still the best. Now that I live in Nevada I only wish that there was a studio here that was even half as good. read more

This place has been around for more than 40 years. My son loves this place. He has a green belt. He wants to go every day. We have been taking classes here for over four years. The instructors are fantastic. Master Chung, Master Williams, and Master Chung's son are notable for their overall greatness. There are other instructors who are equally great, but I can't remember their names right now. The discipline and commaraderie, atmosphere among other things makes this place terrific. I really like the staff. Very personable people who care. Parking can be challenging, but worth it. read more

THE BEST! Our entire family now studies TKD here. My daughters are in such great hands. They are truly challenged and inspired. My husband and I began our studies after watching our eldest daughter develop and grow. The classes are EXTRAORDINARY. GrandMaster Chong is one of the best teachers I have ever had (I studied dance professionally for years). When you are in the hands of someone who loves what they do, you can feel it. All of the instructors here offer that type of care. I cannot recommend this studio enough! Top notch. Super professional. Great community. read more

Grandmaster Chong! Superior Master!!! Dedicated teacher! Doesn't give up on his students. My loyalties are to you, Master Chong and Mrs. Chong! Thank you both for what you have done for my family! You're teachings seem to ripple to my extended family as well. Honored to study with you! read more

I have been to many studios over the years and this is the best. I attend classes twice a week with my 9yo son. The school has the right blend of discpline vs. freindly. Instructors and the Master Chong are uniformly professional, caring and effective. Be prepared for a great workout. The other students are very welcoming, freindly and supportive. The school is accomadating of special requests, and offers so many classes 7 days a week it is easy to fit into a busy schedule. Classes are a highlight of the week for my son and me. read more

This place also has great BJJ classes lead by blackbelt Daniel Tcruz. He is great at instilling the discipline it takes for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, all while creating an inviting atmosphere where self-improvement is the main goal. Not only will you learn great technique, but you will also grow tougher with every class. read more

I've been doing BJJ for a couple of months now and highly recommend training if you're looking to improve your fitness and grappling skills. It's a great learning experience that extends beyond the mat and improves your overall well-being. Classes are held by Daniel Tcruz, with whom I regularly train under @ Gerson Sanginitto's Gracie-Barra BJJ in Culver City. Daniel is an insightful teacher that breaks down the techniques and fundamentals needed to improve your game. Looking forward to the future training! read more

Daniel TCruz who is a black belt under Gerson Sanginitto is one of the best jiu jitsu coaches! At first I was hesitant to train because I am a girl, but Daniel makes sure that I get the same training like the men. He's unbelievably great, he has taught me great technique! read more

very solid school. i trained here for about 1.5 years while living in LA. the instructors are "the best of the best". literally! =D great for both kids and adults as well as all levels of experience from total beginner to experienced martial artist. you will learn a lot! read more

This is by far the best Tae Keon Do school in Los Angeles. I started my son at 3 years old he is now 7. He developed discipline, respect and most of all confidence since he started doing this program and it's gone far beyond my expectations. The great thing about this school is they just don't give you a belt you have to earn it. I cannot be more proud of him and so happy I found this school. Also, they have a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class taught by Daniel Tcruz most amazing, patient Jiu-Jitsu teacher out there. He earned his black belt at Gracie Barra in Culver City . If you want your kid to have confidence, respect , discipline and be one badass this is the place to go. read more

Jun Chong Tae Kwon Do is excellent all around. Our son and daughter have been going here for a year and they love it. It is family run and the teachers include master Chong, his wife, and their son. I am not exaggerating when I say every teacher here is terrific. They know how to talk to and motivate children and their expectations are reasonable. My son is not very athletic, for the most part, but he loves to work out and spar at Jun Chong. I highly recommend this school, for adults and kids. I believe they have free trial lessons, as well, so you've got nothing to lose in checking it out. read more

Our son is 12 years old. He has been going to Jun Chong Tae Kwon Do school for 7 years since he was 5. This school is THE BEST!!! Not only do you learn TKD, but also discipline, self confidence, respecfullness and self esteem. The school atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. The instructors are great. This school is open 7 days a week. You are taught by THE BEST! You don't get higher degree belt just because. Everyone knows you have to earn it. read more

I can honestly say that I've been looking for this school for almost 20 years. There is a very long history at this school and it is not uncommon to hear a grown adult say they came up the ranks as a young child . This school has so much history and an incredible legacy - It's absolutely amazing. There are many good martial artists in LA., no doubt. - but finding a place with such history and incredible advanced students is surely unique. I love this school and I wish there were more like it, so that everyone could experience what it 's like to be part of something special. read more
