A rare occasion I write a review but.... First of all every person working or assisting with classes is absolutely amazing and beyond patient. My son is 7 years old and in a beginner class. Not the most you know, coordinated child out there but excited to learn with other kids. In every single class, he is absolutely met where his current ability is. Whether that's an assistant nearby helping him out, or (who I am prettier sure is) the owner has a couple newer kids step aside and he works on basic moves with them that need work. The other kids in the classes are honestly super kind and helpful to kids needing assistance and it's apparent that they are taught to be this way toward other students. My son is usually nervous in new scenarios, with new people, very much anxious/sensitive with critique in what he's attempting, here he learns from people with patience and kindness. (So huge.) He feels confident and proud of himself every time he has left a class. I couldn't recommend this business or thank these people enough for the difference they make in my sons week. But thank you guys!!! read more

Simply excellent, all around! No matter where you are in life, this school will help you grow well beyond where you were when you first arrived. read more

Master Cho's Tae Kwon Do for my cousins have been a place for them to grow and learn not only the material art, but also grow and learn about life, uplifting structure, being themselves, and being proud of that. In a way, another home for them. A safe place. One of my cousins has been practicing since he was a kid and now is in high school ranked as a something-degree black belt, and i've heard one of the favorites as a student-teacher. Now my other cousin, who is in the 1st grade, started last year and is trying to follow in the foot steps of his big brother. This just tells me the impact and influence that Master Cho has as a great role model and teacher. He has been a community leader for many many years in the area, had a chance to be in the old building because his daughter invited the whole 4th grade class for a party and it was super fun and made me wish looking back to have taken a lesson or two. Overall, highly recommend and hope he teaches for many many more years to come! All stars read more

My son has been doing Taekwondo for almost 5 years now. He loves working with Master Cho and the other instructors. Master Cho is an excellent teacher and teaches students with passion and enthusiasm and anyone can tell if they see him teaching. Master Cho also has some sense of humor and the kids love it. Number one priority for Master Cho is to see the kids succeed not only in Taekwondo but in life as well. My son also behaves differently in positive way after learning Taekwondo. He is respectful, considerate and a great leader. If you are in this area and thinking about learning Taekwondo for you or for your kids, I definitely recommend Master Cho at Master Cho's Taekwondo . You will see the difference in your kid sooner than you think! read more

Master Cho is the best. Lots of kids, supportive environment, a great place to learn Tae Kwon Do and make friends too.

My daughter and husband have both attended Master Cho's classes for two years. They are constantly learning, growing, and transforming. It has been a beautiful experience that I would not have witnessed with any other sport or activity. Other reviews focus on the price of the classes. Yes, it does cost money. Life lessons do not come easy, or cheap. In addition to the obvious skills you can expect to learn by practicing martial arts, Master Cho has a genuine and humorous approach to teaching many not so obvious skills. Attending Master Cho's class is a commitment I am proud my family has made. He is a positive influence, and encourages all his students to do well at home, at school, and in life. read more

My son has been going to Master Cho's for over 2 years now. He is an awesome instructor and has a way with the kids. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a place to teach their child discipline, integrity, confidence, and respect. Check it out...you will not be disappointed. read more

I've been with Master Cho for 9 years now. My oldest started when he was just 2 1/2. I have 2 kids enrolled and a 3rd that will start soon. I believe Master Cho is one of the best instructors just by going to tournaments over the years and watching the kids that come from our school. They are well trained and very confident. He does not just teach the kids Tae Keon Do but teaches them to be respectful and discipline in life. I would totally recommend this school. Enough to we're I drive from woodinville just to keep my kids at his school :) read more

Master Cho is the best! He is amazing with young children. My son was 7 years old when he started going to Master Cho's. After only two weeks his teacher at school noticed a change in his behavior. She said he was more confident, more outgoing, paid attention more, and had better focus. I could not believe it would be possible in such a short time. As a parent this means so much to meI As a bonus, he now knows Taekwondo! Master Cho seems to be an expert at being nurturing & mentoring while also being a pretty strict disciplinarian, something that I tend to struggle with as a parent at times. In the past year I have watched my son's social skills improve, I have watched him develop a great foundation for athletic excellence in any sport he chooses, and I have seen a competitive side come out of him that I never even knew he had. As a parent, there have been so many proud moments that are a result of his involvement with Master Cho and Taekwondo that I don't know if I would allow him to quit if he ever even thought about it. read more

Update:10/12/17. So trial period is almost over and we were informed of the fees. I still stand by that this place is a good place and worth every dollar spent but I am afraid not worth that much $$$. We decided to not complete our trial period this month. (Losing out on 5 classes) When I told my son, his heart broke and cried because honestly he looked forward to his Taekwondo classes. It was explained to me by the school that ATA is better than WTF Taekwondo (apparently there is different types of Taekwondo?!). I wish they would have been more transparent with the price in their website so there is no surprises there. Too bad because we really wanted him to do that. But I guess with that much money I can sign him up for swimming, gymnastics and abacus classes - no brainer there. We are just not willing to spend it on one thing. So still 3 stars for an amazing place, just not happy because of the corporate prices for small studio. read more

I signed my son up for a $99 trial here even though some of the nearby business owners had told me that the owner regularly comes out and yells at people parking in front of his business. My son was very excited and worked hard on memorizing the tiny tiger oath Master Cho gave him so he could get his belt. So we went to his first class and instead of letting him ease into things he was singled out a few times which made him cry. He is 6 and I've had him in lots of different activities and he has never had any issues. But according to a few other parents this is normal which I found strange. Then at the end of the class I reminded Master Cho that he had promised my son his belt if he recited the tiny tiger oath but Master Cho said he didn't have time and he could do it next time. My son may have gotten over his bad experience and the embarrassment of crying in front of the other kids if he had been rewarded his belt but this just added insult to injury. He refused to go back to any classes and panics if we even pull into the parking lot now. This is not usual behavior for my son so I asked if they could make an exception and give me a refund of at least part of my money but Master Cho refused and said he had to come back in six months and try again. About a month later we went to taekwondo way in Mukilteo after much coaxing and he loved it. He has been there for a month now and is doing amazingly and moving up very fast. It makes me furious that this business almost ruined the sport for my son. I'm glad I didn't give up so easily and tried a new place that was much better. But unfortunately I lost $99 read more
