From the reviews
Highest praise for Master Chung and all the wonderful instructors. My son started at 16 months and attended for almost a year until we moved from the area. There are always several teachers at every class to ensure students get one-on-one attention.
Our journey with Grand Master Chung Tae Kwon Do began years ago, even before we had children. We were always impressed by the program, At the time, I would accompany my husband to watch his niece practice and compete in tournaments. His niece went on to become a black belt. We were so proud.
My 3 kids have been attending this Tae Kwon Do school for the past 7 years and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The main instructors bring decades of experience and truly care about each student’s growth, no matter their starting level.
My son has been attending Taekwondo here since he was 5 years old and is now a brown belt at 9 years old. This school has truly become family to us. We joined during a very difficult time after his father passed away from cancer, and Master Chung helped guide and support him with so much care and encouragement.
New to taekwondo? Start at Grand Master Chung taekwondo USA KIDS
Grand Master Chung taekwondo USA KIDS 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 Grand Master Chung taekwondo USA KIDS
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.
