From the reviews
This is the best place for Taekwondo! Master Jung is incredibly kind, and we've had a wonderful experience with all the instructors. They work extremely well with each child, providing motivation and support that really helps them grow. They’ve especially helped my child overcome her fears and build confidence.
Update: since my last review both myself and my husband have joined. It has been such a great experience being able to learn as a family. Highly recommend joining at any age and athletic ability. Previous: My son Sean has only been coming here for a short time but I see such a difference in his confidence already!
I definitely give Master Jung 5 stars! My son has been going here for a couple years and he loves it! Master jung and all of his staff are so amazing!! Our son has learned discipline and structure, self defense and how to be a leader! He has made great friendships here! He loves going to taekwondo!
Master Jung is a top notch instructor. Encouraging kids of all ages, teaching perseverance, mental tough ness and respect, all while minting a safe space for all and having fun. We have been satisfied parents for more than two years and don’t see that ending anytime soon.
New to taekwondo? Start at Jung's Champion Taekwondo Corporation
Jung's Champion Taekwondo Corporation 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 Jung's Champion Taekwondo Corporation
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.
