I firmly believe the instruction in martial arts that Jordan is receiving at the Jhoon Rhee Academy is and has been a huge benefit to him. His self discipline and self confidence has grown enormously since his started attending the academy. At first he was shy and unsure of himself. Those feelings have been eliminated and now he volunteers to participate in outside activities. His level of fitness has also substantially improved and he is so much more active outside and with sports. I would highly recommend the Jhoon Rhee Black Belt Academy to anyone.

My time at the Jhoon Rhee Academy has been very fulfilling and enjoyable. There is always a great and friendly atmosphere in the classes. The Sahbumnin Wongs are always energetic and encouraging. They present challenges without overwhelming the students. Clearly they are experinced with teaching all ages and make the appropriate adjustments seemlessly. Going to school is always a pleasure!

The level of excellence and discipline is only achieved through the example and guidance of our Martial Arts Instructor. Therefore, I am extremely lucky and privileged to have the the best instructors to support, guide and teach me through my journey as a martial arts student.Since, I’ve started Tae Kwon Do, I’ve achieved more fitness and an better level of confidence. Martial Arts has given me the necessary tools for self defense and discipline to achieve anything I set out to do. I now understand the philosophy, “Martial Arts is a Way of Life”. It incorporates the philosophy of dedication, respect and humility from the martial artist. I am forever grateful to both Master Wongs.- Fia F. (Training Mom)
Before I had enrolled my daughter in TaeKwon Do, she was very shy and afraid to do certain things such as going to school for fear of bullies and/or not excelling well in classes. Since she has been apart of the Jhoon Rhee Black Belt Academy, she has become more confident, abundant with the knowledge of self defense, and she is more physically fit. Her grades are better, she isn’t afraid to stand up to overly aggressive children; she is more helpful around the house and shows respect to those around her. She and I feel Martial Arts is not just about self defense and fighting, but about bringing out a persons full potential in every aspect of their life. Jhoon Rhee Black Belt Academy has awesome instructors that are skilled in teaching proper formation and are knowledgeable about true Korean style TaeKwon Do. They are great roll models as well. Jhoon Rhee Black Belt Academy martial arts teach skills that inspire the mind, body and soul. Everyday we go to class, I find something new to be proud of my daughter for achieving.- Angeline H. and Kimberly P. (Mom and Daughter)
When Master Wong invited Joey and Eddie to the Jhoon Rhee Academy we decided to visit. I was impressed with the emphasis on fundamentals, both physical and mental. We have seen some other studios and do not like the over-emphasis many of them place on fighting. It would be easy enough for boys the size of mine to become “bullies” instead of “gentlemen”. We did not want to go to an academy that glorifies the fighting aspect of martial arts. Joey has concentration issues, not unlike many boys his age, and we were hoping Tae Kwon Do would help to teach him to have more control. He still has a ways to go but both boys, and myself, have learned a great deal in the past 16 months. I really like the “progress”! We enjoy the “family” feel at the academy and are looking forward to receiving our black belts (almost halfway there)!- Shelly, Eddie, and Joey H. (Training Mom)
I believe Jackson has gained more confidence, physical fitness, and maturity by participating in the structured learning associated with martial arts. The idea that he’ll one day have “black belt” on his resume for life, from such a young age, will be a badge of honor that many dream of and few realize.- Scott T. (Father of son – age 5)
As a women in my 40s who does not like the “gym” scene, I was looking for a non-traditional way of getting fit while at the same time being provided the opportunity to learn self defense moves. Jhoon Rhee Black Belt Academy welcomed me and has provided me with more than I expected. Not only do I get a great workout and have learned how to protect myself, but more than that, I have met some wonderful people of all ages. Seeing the discipline of kids as young as 4 and the determination of men and women as old as 60 working out side by side, is awe-inspiring. We each have our individual reasons for striving for our black belt and one day I will wear it proudly.- Karen D. (Adult Student)
