I took classes for about 6 months when he first started but then I changed jobs and got too busy to continue - I only made it to green belt. Master Ron and his family that run the school are friendly and honest about their expectations. Master Ron expects everybody to hold to the tenets of Tae Kwon Do: Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, and Indomitable Spirit. During one of our first classes, Master Ron had to discipline my son for goofing off during class. He did raise his voice and got right in my son's face about it. Later, during the same class when my son got something right, Master Ron put his arm around him and told him that he was now doing a good job. He is just as quick to praise good behavior, as he is to discipline for bad. Which is exactly what our son needed at the time. If you (or your child) cannot handle honest criticism and hard work to become a better person and athlete, then maybe Chung's is not for you. Chung's Tae Kwon Do Institute has expanded and moved several times over the years (we started attending class at Master Ron's house in his basement), but in their latest location they do have a CCTV system set up for parents to watch class from the waiting room/reception area. Master Ron has always allowed parents to observe classes whenever they choose since we started there. The Dojang (school) is always clean and orderly, and students are required to keep their Dobok (uniform) clean and wear it correctly (not sloppy, belt tied correctly, etc.) Master Ron makes sure all the sparring gear and other equipment is in good repair and sanitized after each use. Granted, this is the only Dojang my son and I have attended, but considering that when we started Master Ron only had a handful of students meeting in his basement and now he has multiple classes every night of the week, each one filling the Dojang, I think he must be doing something right.

If you want a detailed explanation of what it is then you should Google it but the simple answer, it's a close quarters combat system designed for real world scenarios. It was created for the Israeli military and considering Israel has been in constant conflict since...forever, that's good enough for me. The gym is really nice and very well maintained, there's brand new equipment everywhere you look. Cory, the instructor is very approachable and makes the classes fun and engaging. He's very knowledgeable about his practice and super down to earth. That being said, he's also legitimately terrifying! Lol, I've only been to one class so far and I'm going again tonight but some of the techniques he's demonstrated are straight up scary. I'm a registered nurse and I can honestly say in my professional medical opinion that everything he teaches would cause severe and potentially permanent damage to an attacker. Whether you have any experience or not, he really takes skill level into account so everyone is learning something new. I would highly recommend trying them out if your interested in learning self defense.
