Our son has been in their classes for over 2 years (started when he was 7) and it's just an amazing place! He has grown so much in so many ways, and we're all so proud of him! He's a red belt now, so by the end of the year he'll be a black belt! What a great accomplishment for him. The instructors are so kind and the kids just love them ❤

My 5 year old daughter recently started in the little tiger class for ages 4-6. She had never done taekwondo before. This place is amazing! The location is small but they are so well organized that it's definitely plenty of space with one class going at a time. The instructors are great with the kids and sometimes even have helpers from other classes to assist. The schedule is great and you do not have to commit to specific days (at least for little tigers at the time of this review.) My daughter is also in gymnastics and the pricing is on par with her gymnastics studio but she gets SO much more from Master Jeongs TKD than she does with gymnastics. Every class has had similar activities so they know what's expected of them but the structure changes and keeps them engaged. After only 6 classes I am impressed by my daughters focus and effort. I cannot stress enough how incredible the staff is, even with kids that may need a bit more reminders and direction. It's obvious to me that this is their passion. Taekwondo is now the highlight of the week for our whole family, its so fun to watch. DO NOT hesitate to try this place out!

My kids recently joined Master Jeong's TKD class, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The classes are well-structured, and the instructors are highly skilled. Most importantly, my kids really enjoy the fun, welcoming, and encouraging environment. I highly recommend Master Jeong to anyone interested in learning TKD.
