Style / system: ITF (Traditional) — based on the school's own site and student reviews. Taekwondo systems (Olympic/World Taekwondo, ITF, and ATA/Songahm) differ in forms, sparring rules, and tournaments; if lineage matters to you, confirm it with the school. ATA vs WT vs ITF, explained →
Affiliated school — reviews and the school's own info point to a recognized taekwondo organization or franchise (think ATA Martial Arts, Kukkiwon certification, World Taekwondo, or ITF). If credentials matter to you, ask which association the school belongs to and where the head instructor earned their black-belt (dan) rank and certification.

From the reviews
A life changing place. Grand Master Yu is as good as it gets and it's a privilege to be able to train in his facility. I feel like I have a little extended family here at the dojang.
Yu's acedemy has been one of the most influential places in my life as a child and teenager, this family has gained my respect since the 80s, my father and I had gone to this school togeher, instructed kids together, I really wish I could come back one day and train again, Im not sure if his brother Hong Son Yu is…
I was trained under Grandmaster Yu back in 1992 when we had a school here in Lebanon Tennessee. Master Yu was a great teacher of the arts and very passionate about helping others. What I liked about him the most he was always so kind and laid back easy to talk to.
Yu's is an excellent school to learn about Tae Kwon Do. My son joined after participating in Master Yu's Community Education program through Chesterfield Park and Recreation. The instructors work with the students and it is exciting to see your child progress and improve. Its a great place for adults too!
Your first taekwondo class at Yu's Academy of Tae Kwon DO
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.
