From the reviews
I have trained with Grand Master DeRosa for over 20 years. His training taught me discipline and dedication which has carried over into all aspects of my life. The school and training are top notch. Grand Master DeRosa is an Olympic caliber competitor who brings decades of experience to his school.
Master Wayne and his team are incredible. Their method of training is kind yet stern. They have found the perfect balance to instill confidence, physical fitness and good behavior. We couldn’t be happier!
My nieces have nothing but great things to say regarding the instructors here. Would recommend for sure!
Chung Mas is a whole different level of amazing. It’s not only training and teaching your children martial arts, it’s teaching them respect, confidence, discipline, strength, friendships and gaining an entire taekwondo family. All the instructors are wonderful and so good with children on all levels.
New to taekwondo? Start at Chung Ma's Tae Kwon DO
Chung Ma's Tae Kwon DO 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 Chung Ma's Tae Kwon DO
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.
