They also have nights where parents can drop off the kids for movie fun, with snacks and activities. They threw a business anniversary party at one of our local parks. They offer free, activity driven birthday parties for their students. Overall the parents, students and instructors are like one large extended family.

Master Chung's Taekwondo (TKD)/Kickboxing school is, by far, among the best ones in the country…read more I had started TKD with Master Chung in 2006 and was there until 2009. I still continue practicing TKD in Maryland. Thus, I have had a chance to compare schools and masters and their training curriculum and practices across Michigan and Maryland. Master Chung ranks among the top for many reasons: 1) He is passionate about the art, and attempts to imbibe the same in the student. 2) He teaches, not only the techniques of TKD, but also the philosophy of TKD in a manner that allows one to grow personally in other walks of life as well. THIS IS A FEATURE THAT NOT MANY MASTERS MAY OFFER! 3) The TKD curriculum involves intense warm-ups, stretching exercises, forms, kicks/ punches/blocks, sparring, and self-defense techniques. What's special is that each of these elements differ each day, thereby making it all the more fun and exciting. That variety helps the student in an overall development of fitness and mindset. 4) Students are allowed to test only when they reach the required level for graduation, which may vary from individual to individual. Many schools make students test just for making $$ off the testing fees. That's not the case here. 5) Master Chung runs the show HIMSELF every day, every class. Many other schools rely on their black-belt instructors to run the class. 6) Master Chung displays the right balance of strictness and leniency during the class, which is fine tuned to each student, depending on his/her ability. This allows for an optimal learning curve for the student. 7) Master Chung focuses on the precision of each and every technique, such that one gets perfect at it. Other schools do not necessarily care about teaching the precise technique. 8) Lastly, the school here is BEST equipped. A huge square-footage area, clean and high-quality floor mats, plenty of punching bags and kick pads. In short, you wouldn't be making a mistake by joining Master's Chung's school. - Sridhar

The dedication to the essence of Taekwondo, the importance of Poomsae (forms), technique, breathing, and health benefits is taught by Sabonim Charlie.

I have already left a google review, but I wanted to make one extra review, because I know…read morefirst-hand how other parents can relate and struggle with the same. My son has autism, and has been diagnosed as having a comorbid diagnosis of an anxiety disorder. Recently, his anxiety spun out of control, and we found out that he was receiving medication that was counteracting what it was supposed to do and causing his increase in anxiety. He is 11-years-old, and it was gut-wrenching to watch as a mother, and extremely disappointing when his anxiety held him back from completing the requirements to test for his next belt. After his doctor's appointment one day we stopped by the grand rapids location and was able to talk with Sensi Sasa. Sasa sat down with me and listened to the struggles I was having with my son and took interest in what the medical plan was for my son as well as the psychological plan. Sensi Sasa cared, and for a mother with a child with special needs, that was something I so desperately needed...especially at that time! Sensi Sasa cared and reassured me that my son would still be able to test and would be able to make up any activities that were required for testing for his next belt. Sensi Sasa said, "This is what I want for this organization...not to just teach our students kicks and punches, but to help them gain confidence and strength both physically and emotionally." Sasa asked what to look for in my son when he's becoming overly anxious and reassured me he understood and was there to help. I've felt like I've been screaming on the inside for years to get doctors and teachers to just listen to me. I truly wish there were more teachers like Sensi Sasa out there, because the care he gave by just listening to me and empathizing with me while also encouraging my children is a gift that is beyond priceless. If you have any apprehension and/or doubt in enrolling your child, take it from me...it's beyond worth every cent, time, and energy. The encouragement and self-confidence your child will get in return will be miles more than what they will receive at their daily brick-and-mortar school sessions. (P.S. I'm not in CA..not sure why yelp places my location in CA.)
