Master Jang is an all in all nice guy. Very approachable and an expert in mentoring kids. And with all the many distractions at home (ipad, computer games to say the least), bringing my kids here is a treat. I see a happy, content heart leaving his class. May God bless you and your purpose! They have moved to a new and bigger location:

My son's 3rd week taking Taekwondo here. He is loving it and is learning more than just physical moves. He is learning respect, discipline and patience. Master Jang is authentic and is great with kids. We tried the 9weeks for $99, but will sign up for sure once it's done. I love that it gets my son off of electronics and gets him to do something physical and mentally challenging.

This is such a family friendly environment. Kids are encouraged and pushed to their limit based on age and needs. My kids loves it. It's serious training mixed with fun and laughs, which creates a non-threatening environment for kids to learn and grow. Price is reasonable. We're going on the second year, I think our goal will be to be black belt and help the master train younger kids
