We found this place almost 4 years ago, after coming out of a kumon center across the street…read more Outside was hung with grand opening banners, so we decided to stop in and check it out. The Master (surprisingly) was young, but after one trial class, my 7 year old daughter was hooked. She loved how Master Andrew made classes fun, entertaining, and filled with laughter, but also included times for serious learning accordingly. He understands if the kids are having a difficult time with certain forms, but continues to encourage them which helps give them that push to continue, rather than to quit. This dojo is also run by the most family-oriented family, whom (from what I've seen) all remembers each students and their families names. They are constantly sanitizing and keeping the place clean. Yes, even before covid hit. 4 years later, my daughter who started out as a no belt, holds a second degree black belt. Thank you to Master Andrew and Master Yang for having superb positive teaching values for the children.

We've been going to JS TKD for several months now, and I've been waiting to write a review…read more Master Andrew is provides a perfect balance of kindness and structure for the kids to learn the principles of TKD. My son struggles with paying attention in school, but here he loves "focusing" and learning new techniques. It's the right balance of challenge and accomplishment. The facility is nice enough, there is enough room for all the kids to spread out. Class sizes are around 12-15, which is perfect. Belt progression is not guaranteed, and belt testing is serious. Master Andrew trains his students to be competitive and many do participate in state and national competitions, but we're only white belt, so a ways to go still. If you're looking for a family-friendly, flexible, fun and competitive environment, this is the place.

We also offer After School Martial Arts Programs for children as well. Our school displays a balance of fun and learning, where students of all ages can come and learn the teachings of Tae Kwon Do. We teach our students discipline, self-confidence, and how to respect others and ourselves. We believe that learning Martial arts can be a fun and exciting activity. Our School offers a variety of programs to meet each individual student's needs.

I've heard them say "not good", "too hard, lose weight", or make fun of children's hair or clothing. They admonish children who aren't old enough to drive, or are late because they are being tutored. They preach respect but are the most disrespectful men I've ever come across. waiting for our contract to be done then we are gone. Literally go anywhere but here.

We tried several different places, but they just did not measure up to our old one (Tiger Den). Finally we discovered Tiger World Class Tae Kwon Do, in Ellicott City. I have been saying for years that we need something like this here! You will find the instructors, Master Shin and Master Chong are both experts in Tae Kwon Do, however most importantly are enthusiastic about the sport! They have a way of encouraging the kids to learn while strengthening their bodies and teaching respect. My son's behavior improved immediately after a few classes. He wants to do well for the Masters and he has developed an appreciation for the Korean teachings of respect. Most of all, he is excited to learn and has a goal to strive for black belt. The Masters get the kids to think about goals, which is what they need. My son even has the thought the he could compete one day, just like the Masters. I believe with excellent teachers like Master Shin and Master Chong it is possible! You will find the dojo is always clean and everything is new. They have state of the art equipment, and benches for the parents to sit and watch. The schedule is very accommodating. You can choose from a variety of classes from afternoon to late evening, and even Saturday classes. The class time is just under an hour, so not too long for busy schedules and it does not interfere with homework. You will find price to be comparable to others in the area, and they do accept payment plans. It is well worth the money, and it has been my experience that the class sizes are small enough that each child gets individual instruction and attention. Overall, this is a success for Ellicott City! This is exactly the type of Tae Kwon Do we needed. They have a website that gives more information of their backgrounds. Check it out...and give them a call.

I've been studying with this school for about 7 years now. The instructors are great, the camaraderie among the students is amazing, and I can attest to real health benefits of practice. I used to have a sore back every morning, but now, it doesn't matter where I sleep, I have full flexibility and no achy back in the morning! This school is also great with helping students developed confidence. I was very reluctant to compete when I first started, but the support I got from my instructors and fellow students encouraged me, and now I can say that I am an international and world champion. Something I never would have imagined, and yet here I am. We not only practice empty hand forms, but also with weapons -- straight sword, broad sword, long staff, etc. This is a great school and very traditional, emphasizing discipline, virtue, humility. It's a school for elites so if you think you have what it takes, come check it out!
