Why us?

Reason #1

Our instructors are internationally certified and highly qualified. 

Grand Master Lee is 9th degree black belt which is the highest rank in Taekwondo.  He is also the highest ranked instructor still teaching in U.S.A. He competed many competitions and won many time.  He was the U.S.A. national coach at the World Forms Championship in Ankara, Turkey in 2008. He coached 5 national teams and 4 military academies. He was a professor at Unites States Sports Academy.  He has been teaching Taekwondo over 40 years and still teaching most of his classes at Olney school.

Master Joon is 6th degree black belt and head instructor for Gaithersburg school.  He holds B.S. degree in Physical Education and M.S. degree in Education and has been teaching for Montgomery County Public School for over 15 years.  He has been teaching Taekwondo for over 16 years now. 

All our instructors are Master Instructors which means they are 4th degree black belt or higher and certified internationally.  To receive 4th degree black belt, minimum training time is 10 years.  First, second and third degree black belts are usually assistant instructors and only allowed to teach under the supervision of Master Instructors.

Reason #2

Our class sizes are small.  Our beginner's classes are often less than 5-6 students and all other classes are about 10-15. 

Reason #3

Our tuition is reasonable.  We do not have a fancy administrate staffs, sales person and office manager.  We try very hard to eliminate unnecessary expenses to pass the savings to our students.

Reason #4

Our school was first opened in 1973 in Korea and our U.S. schools are opened in 1989.  We have long history and experiences of teaching Taekwondo.
