Black Belt Institute

My son is 6 years old and has balance and coordination issues for which he sees an occupational therapist. We had heard glowing reviews about BBI from our community for years and finally enrolled our son when he turned 6. I was unsure how he would do mainly because of his struggle with balance and coordination, but wow am I so glad I did enroll him! I honestly believe 2 sessions a week with Master Cho is better than occupational therapy. After only a few months my son's balance and coordination has remarkably improved. His overall strength, self motivation, respect for adults and peers, and joy for being apart of a "team" has also blossomed. We are so thankful to Master Cho and the other wonderful instructors at BBI. We are lucky to have BBI as part of our community, I cannot recommend this program more!

Splendid martial arts school. My two boys are learning the skills of martial arts and also respect, integrity and perseverance. Highly recommend Black Belt Institute.

My son has been part of BBI for a year and a half and he loves it. Master Cho is amazing - he is not only incredibly skilled but he really develops skills, strength, stamina and helps kids with focus & manners. Somehow he creates an environment that has discipline but is very fun. As a parent, I’m charmed by every class I watch (and find myself giggling at the playfulness also). This is the only sport my 13 yr old son has consistently enjoyed. My 10 yr old daughter also did this for a year - and I thought it was a great setting for girls to develop confidence and skills. We feel so lucky to have found Master Cho and Black Belt Institute!

My daughter (age 17) and I have been taking taekwondo at BBI with Master Cho for almost a year. We both love it and appreciate how much effort Master Cho invests in all the students. He has students ranging from age 4 or 5 to adults, and he knows how to develop/challenge them at the appropriate level while having fun. I highly recommend BBI to everyone!

My son has been attending Black Belt Institute for a few months, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. The instructors are not only skilled in their craft but also deeply committed to instilling discipline, respect, and confidence in their students. It's truly inspiring to see how these values extend beyond the mat, shaping my child into a more focused and respectful individual in everyday life. The environment is welcoming, supportive, and structured to help students grow both physically and mentally. Every class is engaging, challenging, and uplifting, making it a place where kids feel motivated to learn and push their limits. The emphasis on character development alongside martial arts training sets Black Belt Institute apart and makes it a truly exceptional program. If you're looking for a place that nurtures personal growth just as much as skill development, I highly recommend Black Belt Institute!
