MASTER HONG'S OLYMPIC TAEKWONDO / MARTIAL ARTS

My whole family takes classes at Master Hong's Taekwondo. He's an excellent martial artist and teacher. He is wonderful with kids. It is quite unusual to find a martial artist of his caliber (7th Dan) directly involved in the day to day teaching of students including children and color belts. I also want to mention that Master Hong's Olympic Taekwondo is a Kukkiwon sanctioned World Taekwondo Federation dojang, the only one in Little Rock. He is a rare find and his classes are an exceptional value. I highly recommend this dojang to anyone interested in Taekwondo.

I visited for the first time to watch my niece and she received a colored ribbon on her belt that night. I am very encouraged and impressed with what I saw. My married daughter who doesn't live here anymore actually visited with me. My daughter had earned her 2nd Degree Black Belt in another discipline about 12 years ago. She was happy and impressed with the program. My niece seems to enjoy it. The enthusiasm is contagious. The structure was superb. The only negative I saw was 3 instructors trying to manage 21 kids. I would send my kids here.

My son wanted to get back into taking martial arts lessons after having done so for a few years previously. We found this place and they let you try and make sure that you or your child is interested before joining for a very reasonably price. They were very friendly and informative and I liked the technique they used. Definitely enjoyed and would recommend trying them out if interested in martial arts.

Master Hong is an amazing instructor. My daughter started her Taekwondo training under her belt when she was four and now she is a black belt at 7 years old. He is kind and fun while at the same time instilling discipline and focus. I highly recommend him.

I take Taekwondo at Master Hong's Taekwondo along with my wife and two kids. My wife and daughter are black belts while me and my son are just starting out. Master Hong is an excellent instructor and works very well with students at all ability levels. He is exceptionally good at instilling discipline in children and knows how to inspire them to try their best in class. His classes are divided into Little Tigers, color belts, adults and black belt classes so there is something for everyone. He also provides added value outside of the standard curriculum with self defense techniques, weapons training, sparring and older style Palgwe forms. The classes are strenuous but he strikes a balance between maximizing the workout and training safely and tells his students to pace themselves if they are overextended. This is very important for older out of shape individuals like myself. His studio is also the only World Taekwondo Federation (WT) dojang in Little Rock and teaches a different more traditional style of Taekwondo than the ATA studios which abound here. It is quite unusual to be instructed directly by a Master of his rank (7th dan), so it is an exceptional value. I highly recommend this dojang for anyone from the beginner to the black belt who just wants to get back into the sport.
