From the reviews
My ten year old son, who has ADHD, has been attending classes with Master Chang for a while now, and I have nothing but good things to say. Contrary to other reviews I’ve read, the classes are varied, but sometimes repeated. Repetition is how you learn.
We are about to start our third year with Master Chang. I am a homeschooling mom of three boys. Master Chang has been an amazing teacher. He instills respect in each of his students and that respect has carried over into our home and schooling. Being from South Korea, he offers many cultural lessons to his students.
Taekwondo here is amazing my 15 yr old daughter loves coming here almost everyday she learns a lot and is almost a black belt she’s been in for 3 years and loves every second of it!! I recommend this place to a lot of people if they wanna teach their daughters self defense, discipline, and courage!! Come check it out!
Master Chang is one of the best teacher for martial arts in the upstate. He teaches discipline and focus. He has excellent leadership skills. The location of this school is really convinient and useful for parents as it is situated in Anderson Mall.
New to taekwondo? Start at Chang Brothers Martial Arts Education
Chang Brothers Martial Arts Education comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Chang Brothers Martial Arts Education
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
