Champion Tae Kwon Academy

I used to respect such sport but my personal experience tell me otherwise.
This sport doesn’t end with monthly fees but also belt promotional fees. Your monthly fee is based on what you do for living. For example, if you you’re a doctor, your fees are higher than others. Therefore, the master’s question for you starts with «What do you do for living».
Then he will ask you to sign a contract. I was promised a black belt with a contact but it was never delivered and he would ask you to sign a contract again. He cares about $more than his students. He doesn’t care about what he promised.
I would not call such person a master. Master of collecting $ and making false promises? LOL~
Like typical Korean/​Chinese, they smile at you only if you show them the cash. Forget about Tae Kwon Do. We probably can buy it with cash.

First day today for my lil 4yr old… I have been waiting for my lil girl to turn 4 so that I could enroll her!!! Finally! We started today with the 2 week intro deal that includes her uniform. Brought back memories of when my youngest son (who is now 14) started when he was 4.5yrs old… *sigh* She did well, very well. She actually surprised us and exceeded our expectations today. Master Brown was very patient with her but made sure she was following instructions and focusing. There were times I even said «oh wow, she did it!»… she’s my wild lil girl… 3 boys who were never wild and I get this girl who is just active and full of energy.
Master Brown definitely had her attention and she had a great first day!!! We will be finishing her 2 week intro and continuing. He talked to us before she got started and he made it clear he will expect her to do her best but not push so much that it would discourage her. Awesome! Can’t wait for thursday!

My son’s been coming here for a little over a year now and has thoroughly been enjoying the experience. Master Min is strict but a great teacher and definitely instills just enough fear that my son listens and learns intently.
The other masters and instructors are all very good and equally tough. This has been great with helping my son pay attention, understand and listen to authority, as well as expend a ton of energy having fun.
A great place to bring your kids to learn TKD.

My 4 yr old son has been training at Champion for about 2 months. We were introduced through his classmate who had been studying there for 6 months and loved it, and our pre-​k teacher confirmed that his classmate’s attention span/​focus has improved since starting TKD. So we thought if he can do it, so can our son; we took advantage of the introductory offer of two weeks of instruction for $ 40 (uniform included.)
My tyke has always been interested in martial arts– he has imitated the moves of Kungfu Panda, various superheroes, and Power Rangers for years and has asked for lessons– but he is still only four and is struggling/​learning the coordinating skills of jumping jacks, sit ups, jump rope, etc.
After the first week, I thought I made a mistake in starting him this year– meaning a year too early– as the physical challenge is tough. He is one of the youngest and smallest students in every class, and some of the training is simply beyond his preschool aged capability; the instructors do help him and sometimes adjust certain exercises for him, though he is certainly not coddled.
However, now, after both my hubby and I have observed the classes for two months, and seen how our son has positively responded to the lessons, I can both highly recommend this TKD Academy, and can say that I am glad that we started him early. He will progress on his own timeline, and we are providing him with the opportunity to integrate his interests and help him learn discipline and develop his physical skills.
While he may not have mastered the sit-​ups, push-​ups, and jumping jacks yet, he LOVES all the punches and kicks he is learning! He even remembers the steps to the Basic Forms and practices his form at home WITHOUT ME REMINDING HIM! And there are times I’m impressed/​shocked that he has achieved a physical move that I would have thought beyond him, so that has further encouraged us to continue TKD.
Master Min, Master Hua, Master Brown, Instructor Edward and Instructor Kim are strict teachers and they expect a lot of him (and all the students) and I also feel that they have the students’ best interests in mind. They teach respect and discipline and demonstrate clearly what they expect so the students correctly and precisely learn.
My son was thrilled to earn his yellow belt. He loves his instructors and enjoys the training (even though sometimes he tells me it is hard!) He even shows me some of his TKD moves and exercises at home! There are times he «teaches» me how to do certain exercises/​stretches and kicks when I’m exercising at home! He even counts my stretches in Korean 1 – 10! I also can attest that he is listening better and is more aware of controlling his physical actions.
Side note: my friend with a son a couple years older than mine says she is so thankful for TKD — it has made a huge difference to her son’s focus and attitude at school. He used to blow up in a temper often, but is now able to control his tantrums better thanks to TKD.

Granted, I do not troll Martial Arts studios for fun, but this one is close to my house and my daughter has been attending it for the last 5 months. It has been very eye opening to see her learning TaeKwonDo from Mast Min. He is a strict teacher, his instructors are equally as strict. This is not a hack shop compared to some places that I have seen. Anyone wanting to learn TaeKwonDo in the PQ area should come by. It is reasonably priced versus other studios and the kids get solid attention from white belt all the way up to black…
