He cares only about the student and furthering the dissemination of the martial arts.  He is of the highest integrity and runs his school with discipline and the martial spirit.  He truly cares about his students and helping them achieve their goals.  I have studied many martial arts for the greater part of 25 years and until my training at Mr. K school, I had never found all the elements that I thought were important in a martial arts school.  His students are respectful and helpful, which is a direst reflection on his influence. Mr. K is the real deal.  He is a true mentor.  I have since had to move aout of the area and began my search again, no other instructor has lived up to his standard and the technique that I learned from him has advanced me far ahead of even the upper belts.  I owe a great debt of gratitude for his mentorship and friendship.

I tried couple 3 places but this is the place my kids and myself liked. I liked how Mr. K attends / teaches all of his students. My kids had been going for alomst 3 weeks now and they have learned quite a bit. In fact I am thinking of joining the self defense course myself. I would suggest each and everyone to atleast try this place for free for a week :).","rating":5,"date_published":"2009-30-06"},{"author_name":"munkie1313","review_text":"This is a great place if you want to have fun and get a great workout.  It's the highlight to my bad days and makes a good day great.","rating":5,"date_published":"2009-18-04"},{"author_name":"family4all","review_text":"Our family has been looking for some type of activity that we could all enjoy and agree on. My kids started first then after I watched them at their first testing and saw how they were able to actually defend themselves when attacked by several of the other students I just had to start. I was amaized at how effective the defense movements were. This is definetly something that everyone should get involved in.","rating":5,"date_published":"2008-10-10"},{"author_name":"sg18888","review_text":"When I first started last year I was extremely excited about earning my first belt. Now several months later I am still just as excited to earn that next level belt. Now that I have been here a while I can give a better opinion of Mr.K and the other Instructors. There GREAT! I am currently a 4 stripe blue belt in taekwondo and a white belt in the self-defense program that Mr.K developed. Although I really enjoy taekwondo the self-defense program is extremely benificial and does seem to be something that I would really use if I were to get in a situation. I hope that anyone that was looking for a school would give this school a try.","rating":5,"date_published":"2008-20-08"},{"author_name":"taekwondo62","review_text":"For the last 41/2 years I have received instruction at Choong Sil Kwan Do.  Mr. K -the chief instructor- has great discipline and is very adept at teaching technique and making it possible for his students to perform to the best of their ability.  Mr. K also has great integrity and models that for each one of his students.  The atmosphere of the school is very friendly and the students enjoy seeing each other when they come in for classes.  I would consider this school to have \"the whole package,\" a great place to learn martial arts and to succeed in doing so.","rating":5,"date_published":"2008-20-08"},{"author_name":"sg1888","review_text":"I just started in June 07 but so far it has been one of the best decisitions I have ever made. I love the instructors and everyone else here. The workouts are very satisfying. I just earned my Yellow belt about a month ago and what a feeling of pride when I was asked to remove my new belt from the wall. Have visited other schools before but was too scared to join. The 3 private lessons they offer for free helped me feel more comfortable when I participated in a regular class. You have got to check out this school.","rating":5,"date_published":"2007-01-11"},{"author_name":"loves2kickbutt","review_text":"Once I visited this school, I knew I was a part of school that helps you achieve your goals.
