From the reviews
I began yoga about a year ago because I desperately wanted to alleviate chronic lower back pain. At one point I couldn't sleep it was so bad. I'm a runner, swimmer and biker and in order to compete, I need a pain free back.
Master Jeong is a great master. The school grew at least 10 times since I joined 2 years ago. He is able to teach us motivation, respect, self-discipline, self-direction, ability to overcome weaknesses and achieve your goals no matter what.
My son has been working with Master Jeong for 2.5 years. Master Jeong instills a sense of discipline, respect, and responsibility in his students. He is excellent with children, making the process of learning fun and engaging, while holding his students to high standards.
Master Jeong is a super great Taekwondo master in every aspect. He has a genuine martial spirit and teaches not just skills but also the noble spirit of Taekwondo with humor and a humble mind. I really respect him.
New to taekwondo? Start at Jeong's Urbana Taekwondo
Jeong's Urbana Taekwondo 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 Jeong's Urbana Taekwondo
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.
