From the reviews
I would like to thank Master Chung for everything has done for our daughter. He has the best Martial Arts school I have ever seen. Without a doubt Master Chung is top notch.
My son has been going to chungs for about 2 years now. He struggles with anxiety from time to time but I’ve seen a change in his attitude and confidence since he first started. He loves master Chung and master Evan. He just recently started going to their after school program and absolutely loves it.
Chung's is a great place for the entire family. My son started taking classes a year ago and he has shown improvements in his behavior, confidence, and academic performance. He convinced my husband and I to join and we are glad we did. The instructors are great and classes are offered for the entire family.
My son has been attending Chung’s for several months now. Instructor Evan and Master Chung are great with the children, thier system and instructions are great, as well as the atmosphere being clean and well organized. My son has taken to Taekwondo like no other activity he has been a part of.
New to taekwondo? Start at Chung's Martial Arts
Chung's Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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's Martial Arts
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.
