I would definitely recommend this place, my son Vivaan was here for almost 2 years. Sr. Master Ron and Sr. Master Galang always makes sure to follow exact techniques. They participate in various tournaments which helps kids to grow to great extent. Thanks to staff in the class to create such a homely environment in the class.

Report
Instructor Ron was very disrespectful and inappropriate towards a student in a sparring situation. He could have really hurt this student (A 12 year-old boy) which did result in this student having to be taken to the hospital. Instructor Ron repeatedly kicked this student in the chest to the point he was crying. Many other moms and dads who were present witnessed this happening and were very upset that the instructor took it to that level. If he is going to treat this student this way for accidentally kicking someone in an sparring competition, who is at a higher level, he will treat your child

We have been part of the Champion family since the doors opened. My daughter is the first student to make it through all of the belts to earn her black belt at this wonderful school. Master Ron and his staff have always been open and welcoming to everyone that has walked through the door. Couldn't be happier with this place!

Master Ron is an excellent instructor, and makes learning fun and pressure free for kids and adults. If you're open minded and willing to work hard, you will go far. The atmosphere at Champion is one of respect, support and ultimately personal growth and mastery. You definitely will get out of it what you put in.

Champion is the best place my family has been to. I have 2 brothers and a sister that go here. Master Ron is an amazing instructor and loves all his students. He is an inspiration to all the kids and students. Master Ron is very experienced and knows very well how to teach, he is very respectful and helps students achieve their goals. We have seen other Martial Arts schools and this is the best one anywhere!!! My siblings love it there its like our second home. Everyone is so friendly. I recommend this place to kids and adults. If there is anything I learned from watching them train its "The path

Ignore the troll "lie Detective Speak", I attended classes with Senior Master Ronald Galang many years ago. Himself, family, and other champion members are extremely helpful, caring, and patient. I would not think twice before recommending or choosing champions for martial arts training. Kudos to a great company and school!

Training at champion is a wonderful experience. Having watched multiple families exercise, grow, and gain the knowledge of taekwondo has been one of the most enjoyable things I have been witness to of my time at Champion. Senior Master Ron takes the time and his experience of well over 27 years to make sure each student is pushed to their limit with the respect, discipline, confidence, and self control that they should show everyday. Come try out this awesome school you won't be disappointed!
