From the reviews
My son has been going since age 5 and he is now 11. Zhang Sah has become family-like. Besides learning different martial arts techniques - he has also learned other valuable life tools including leadership, confidence, teamwork, and more. I would definitely recommend this program.
I have been training at Zhang Sah for approximately 10 years and think it is amazing. Both of my children were part of the afterschool program and also trained in martial arts here. The staff and instructors are always kind and helpful. The training is fantastic and I would recommend to everyone.
I love this place. My son has been going for 5 months. The people are very nice and always friendly. I read in another person's review that they did not like an instructor, Marquis. Well, I can tell you that can't be true. From my experience, Marquis is patient and fun.
Our son attends Pre-K here and loves it. The class size was better than the other 2 schools we toured. They have a karate component and a Mandarin teacher. They have weekly newsletters and zoom calls to stay in touch with what is happening.
Your first taekwondo class at Zhang Sah School, Martial Arts and Learning Center South Philly
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.
