World Champion Taekwondo

As a student here for nearly 11 years, I can definitely say that this is a great place to learn Taekwondo and can be personally transformative if you are open-minded and willing to learn here. You don't just learn the Martial Arts itself, you also learn how to become your best-self and can spread a positive impact in yours and other peoples lives. I've met many wonderful people and have made life-long friends coming here; the new masters are kind and very humble and understanding. Overall, learning Taekwondo here has been an absolute blast and I would suggest giving it a try before disliking it.

I had fun with learning about the way of taekwondo’s life for about 5 years. I have nothing bad to say than being positive with great masters and instructors, they are very open and kind to all students that will never give up on others. Before that, I used to be a naughty boy and a trouble maker but taekwondo change my life forever. I became respectful and confidence as I am doing my best for all it takes. I highly recommended to everyone who is interested in martial arts or taekwondo in general. Glad to write it down for again my positive feedback.

P.s: Master Kwon and Master Park and every member of the west Union taekwondo community are awesome as HECK!!!

Learn to defend yourself in a family environment. Amazing people to learn RESPECT and GROW within the martial art of TAEKWANDO. Affordable

I started at this taekwondo establishment 8 years ago and I can confidently say that all I have received was respect. The masters pushed me to become the best version of myself and I am forever grateful.

As a student attending this Taekwondo school for 13 whole years, I have nothing but good things to say about my experience. I learned so many things throughout my journey and it helped me develop my personality and respect for others. Everyone that teaches at the school are open to help me and are very nice. Overall, I would highly recommend attending this Taekwondo school!

Though a little pricey, this place is a great school to learn Taekwondo. The masters and instructors are there to welcome you and are ready to try their very best to help you in learning the necessary skills for your next test. They will even encourage you to try your best too even though you may be tired and is also a great place for families to take Taekwondo together. I have been going here for about three years now and every time I walk in and look at everyone's faces they always have a happy smile on their face and are exited to learn something new. And not only does this school teach you Taekwondo, you also learn self discipline, control, to have confidence in yourself, and to show respect for parents, teachers and everyone around you. Overall World Champion Taekwondo at West Union is a great place to learn many things (and is a great opportunity to earn you weekly exercise needs) for people of all ages and I hope I can continue taking Taekwondo here for many years to come.

TaeKwonDo is awesome and fun. They teach you academically but still put fun things into it while teaching. If you do well enough and the master's think you are ready enough too they will suggest you to be a instructor. That means you become and "adult" and teach other kids and help them become a black belt. There are different kinds of classes, there is Family Class, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5. There is also Demo team practice. If you are in a Demo team then you go out on tournaments and show people what you did in the Dojang. There is a Advanced Class where only people who are good go out and do, they also do more things then regular classes like they do 20 laps instead of 10. They also teach you to build confidence, develop discipline, enhance self esteem, strengthen your mind and body but most of all HAVE FUN!!!!!

An awesome place for Taekwondo! The teaching is phenomenal compared to other Taekwondo schools around the area. They keep the students busy with goals, dedication, and respect. They have other various events as well, such as, doing fundraisers for local schools and doing school assemblies to teach respect and discipline! Highly recommended!

All of the Instructors are beyond amazing at this school! This is an excellent establishment if you're looking to improve you or your child's physical fitness, focus, and general confidence. Highly recommend!

I attended this academy back in the 90's when it was Olympic Taekwondo. Master B.C. Kim was a great and knowledgeable instructor. I would highly recommend this academy.

Everyone there is so kind and helpful! My children who are 13 and 8 love going here!

Excellent teaching methods. Very respectful of the students.

Son lo máximo, muy amigables… enseñan muy bien! Hacen sentir a mi hija muy feliz , son muy divertidos

First of all, you’re not learning from an Olympic Gold Medalist who holds an 8th degree black belt, your child will learn mostly from his students students.

We brought our son in from a Groupon deal that still says to this day “2 months of Taekwondo with a belt”, yet we were given the ultimatum after 2 weeks of training (plus one week when we were on vacation) that we have to enroll our son for $170/month for 1 hour/week of classes or not return. That’s just false advertisement first of all. Second, nobody, I mean NOBODY charges that much for 30 minutes of actual martial arts training per week (half of the 30 minute classes are just warming up).

Don’t even get me started on charging an additional enrollment fee, $70 for lower belt tests (another reviewer mentioned they test 4x/year), and treating potential students as nothing more than a wallet.

There was really no tangible benefit to bringing him there for 2 weeks other than to realize that this place is a MCDOJO!

I'm so happy I can finally write this review. I've been holding off because we're locked in a contact, but one of the masters made my kid cry in class today and we've had it. This place is TERRIBLE.

TLDR: Over crowded, inconsistent quarter lengths, poor organization, one bully teacher

We've been going here just over a year. We started out with a Groupon deal--3 months for I want to say $59? With the option for a reduced rate after 3 months. It only saves you $5-10 a month to do it that way, but it's also the cheapest school we found in the area so it seemed like a good deal. The first 6 months or so were fine but slowly and surely we started noticing things we really did not like.
My son's class started out with no more than 10 kids maximum, sometimes being just himself for the day. They pressured us to move up a level, even though we didn't think he was ready and would be among the youngest in the new classes (our son is 5 and the next level up is comprised of mostly middle and high school aged kids, even a couple adults) and now there's usually as many as 20 people in each class. This would be fine if they had the space and the personnel, but they don't even have enough seating for the parents in the small classes and half those kids come over from daycare. My son gets paired to spar with someone twice his age and size and a higher belt level and if I'm being honest, I don't think half of these people are actually at the correct belt level. Testing is done once per quarter and the quarters are unevenly spaced. The summer quarter was 3 months and the winter quarter was 5 weeks, not including all the days they're closed for holidays. Then we come back from the 2 weeks they're closed for Christmas/New Years, and they're already handing out forms for the next belt testing. I've never been in martial arts before so I'm not well versed in how that's supposed to work but I'm pretty sure you don't actually move up 4 levels a year, and especially not at 4-5 years old.
In order to test, they reward students with tapes on their belts. The tapes mean different things--good form, good punching, etc. They seem to hand these out at random. While I'm not a believer in participation trophies, it sucks watching every kid in the class get a tape except one, and then they don't provide any extra feedback to the child about what they need to work on or give them additional help in the next class.
Master Lim is a very sweet man. He's very professional and kind to everyone in class.
Master Jim on the other hand is a POS. He seems like he'd be fine teaching adults, but he should not teach children. He tends to joke and be silly, then gets mad when little kids don't understand it's not time to be silly back. I've seen him have to be tapped out by Master Lim multiple times because he's visibly enraged at a bunch of kindergartners. He's extremely condescending, openly mocks students that are clearly struggling to master techniques, and talks to them like they're being openly disobedient instead of needing extra help or to go slower. Today, my kid was struggling and Master Jim decided to make fun of him in front of the whole class and made him cry. Instead of being a decent human being and owning up to the fact that he was a jerk and went too far, he tried to play it as if my 5 year old is too sensitive and he didn't know what happened. My husband pulled our son from class right there and we're never going back. Our contract isn't even up for another month and I don't care.
