We are so glad to have joined Chung's, a well known TKD studio that has been in business for nearly 20 years in Harford County with three branches (Bel Air, Havre de Grace and Forest Hill).

Master "C" is very good with kids. He is fun, charming, and energetic. He pays attentions to details and helps my girl in her forms. One thing that stands out for me is Master "C" does not just teach martial arts. He also teaches the philosophy of martial arts including respect, integrity, self discipline, patience... all the virtues that should be taught along side martial arts (which sadly have been lost in other studios). I plan to keep my daughter here for a long time hoping to enhance my girl's life skills, not just martial arts. I strongly recommend this studio.

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.

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.

He is…read moreautistic and verbal, and while he sometimes needs extra prompts or redirection, he participated well in both classes. He followed instructions, stayed engaged, and genuinely enjoyed himself. Importantly, he was not disruptive to other children, did not interfere with anyone else's turns, and did not get in the way of the class. The instructors allowed him to attend a trial class, and during the class there were no major issues or safety concerns. After the trial period, however, we were informed that they would not allow him to enroll due to his special needs and the additional attention he may require and they cannot offer private classes at this time. I understand that not every program is equipped or obligated to accommodate every child, and I respect that running a group class comes with limitations. That said, this experience was incredibly disappointing. Our son did well, he loved it, and he has been talking about taekwondo and asking when he can go back. Having to explain to him that we cannot go, despite doing his best, has been heartbreaking. What makes this particularly difficult is that he was given the opportunity to try, showed that he could participate meaningfully, and then was excluded anyway. For families with neurodivergent children, moments where our kids feel confident, included, and excited about an activity are rare and incredibly important. I'm sharing this so other parents of children with special needs are aware and so the school might reflect on how situations like this are handled. Inclusion does not require perfection, but it does require recognizing effort, progress, and the real impact these decisions have on young children who just want to belong.

Tae Kwon Do Masters is a great martial arts school with a welcoming atmosphere. When you first walk in you notice right away that it has a very professional look. The gym area looks great and they have an waiting room right behind it where you can watch the kids do class. Master Jimmy, the head instructor, is a great guy who genuinely cares about the well being of every student he teaches. The classes are a great way for kids to get rid of all that excess energy after sitting around in school all day. My son has been going to his school for a couple years now and he absolutely loves it! Master Jimmy does his job well and it shows. He knows how to make the classes fun for the kids while at the same time making sure that each student walks away having learned something new. If you listen closely you might even learn a thing or two about the history of Tae Kwon Do. =) I really can't say enough nice things about Tae Kwon Do Masters. It is a great school and if you are looking for a way for your kid to burn all that excess energy, this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed. read more

My daughter has an anxiety disorder and wanted to try karate, but was extremely nervous about the prospect. We visited another studio that was very busy, loud and crowded. Here, Master Jimmy worked with her in a small group and one on one setting, staying with her until she was comfortable. This, all at no cost! Monthly class fees weren't even mentioned until it was clear she was ready-and even then, I had to ask about fees. The classes are relatively small. There are at least 3 experienced instructors in each class, who obviously enjoy working with children. They are encouraging, but disciplined. Master Jimmy has a sense of humor and a firm but gentle way, that all of his students seem to respond to. Thanks to his effort, my daughter LOVES classes and is working on her first belt with enthusiasm! If you are looking for individual attention and guidance. I highly recommend that you try out this studio! read more

I just LOVE what Tae kwon do and Master Jimmy have done for my daughter. I CAN NOT imagine being at a different dojang. My daughter is a pretty energetic kid but this has focused her energy, it focuses her thoughts, and body. Watching my crazy 4 year old sit still for a good 10 minutes and stretch is amazing enough, when you follow that with her added confidence and enjoyment in this sport I can only gush it is incredible! Master Jimmy is a great teacher who demands respect from his students but in a very friendly and open way. I plan to stay with Tae kwon do Masters for as long as possible and I just CAN'T wait to see how my daughter evolves! read more
