From the reviews
We have been going to this studio for 3 years now and every year it just gets better and better. Not only are Master Oh and Master Jeung the nicest people, but they are incredible instructors. We first started here with our oldest son when he was 4 years old and quite unruly.
I learned Taekwondo from Master Oh and Master Jeong when they were in Virginia. They are really amazing Taekwondo masters and I can say that Master Oh and Master Jeong are the best Masters for all the students who is willing to learn Taekwondo.
I cannot speak highly enough about this place. The positives are endless. I have a 6 yo girl and an 8 yo boy in the program. The programs run from quite young and I’ve seen folks across several generations.
MODU Martial Arts School is unlike any other Taekwondo (Martial Arts) place you see in virtually every plaza. MODU Martial Arts School stands out in the area, because of well structured program, staff member, knowledges of martial arts and taking care of children.
Your first taekwondo class at Modu Martial Arts School
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.
