We enrolled our 5 year old son almost a year ago now and it has proven to be a great decision. From the very fist day, Master Acevedo and his staff have gone out of their way to make our son feel special, comfortable, and empowered. He continually has a smile on his face and is amazingly patient with all his students. Master Acevedo instills life skills such as optimism, perseverance, and strong character building. He has an incredible way of pushing each student without discouraging them - giving them a sense of determination and excitement to achieve their goals. I would give Cho's Legacy 10 stars if possible!! read more

An amazing journey for me and my daughter. I studied at the original Cho's Tae Kwon Do with Master Cho back when I was younger. When my daughter (6 at the time) , went to a TKD birthday party she wanted to study herself. The first place I thought about was Cho's Legacy. I took Stella to a personal class/meeting with Master Acevedo and she loved it. I loved being back in the Do Jong again and was struck not only by how much she love it, but by the instant rapport between Master Akil and Stella. Not every martial artist can be a teacher, and not all of those teachers can connect with and teach to 6 year old kids the way he does. After the hour meeting, Stella asked if she could sign up and I said of course. She then told me that she could see how much fun I had being there with her and asked me to sign up with her. I did not realize until I went there just how much I missed studying TKD and I agreed. We've now spent the last 11 months studying together, practicing at home, and bonding over a shared dedication and love of the sport. Studying here has given her such confidence and accomplishment. At her school talent show this fall, she worked on a routine with Master Akil and there she was, a 7 year old all by herself on stage running through a routine and bringing the crowd to their feet with a thundering board breaking finish. We've committed to obtaining our black belts together and I can't wait to continue our training together. Challenging and fun for children and adults alike. A wonderful and friendly atmosphere and school community. Thank you Master Acevedo! read more

My daughter has been a student at Cho's TKD for 7 years and is currently working on earning her second degree black belt. When she first began taking lessons I worried that perhaps she might lose interest because she was so young but the instructors at Cho's TKD were wonderful with their young students. They knew how to keep them motivated, engaged and reaching for their goals. Master Acevedo expects a lot from his students but they do not feel like the expectations are out of reach. He is never critical. Instead, he focuses on the positive whenever he can and he gently points out what needs more work. Master Acevedo has groups within his classes available for advanced students who are serious about tae kwon do. The Elite group, Master's group and the Instructor Training Program have been a wonderful way for my daughter to excel in tae kwon do. She really enjoys the Instructor Training Program where she volunteers to help out with one of the tae kwon do classes at least once every week. She earns hours towards becoming a junior instructor and after that she could work towards becoming an adult instructor if she chooses to. All of the leadership experiences that she has had under the direction of Master Acevedo have helped shape her into a confident and hard-working young adult. She is a very responsible student and I am confident that the discipline that she learned at Cho's TKD has helped her learn to make good choices that will stay with her throughout her life. I am quite certain that anyone who is looking for a TKD school for their child will be very happy with Master Acevedo and his teaching methods. read more

As a student at Cho's Legacy, I have benefited greatly by learning about Tae Kwon Do, discipline, the importance of being a respectful person toward all living things, and many other human values worth remembering on a daily basis. I attend classes at least twice a week and feel invigorated after a long day at school. It is a great form of exercise and takes my mind off of the stress I feel at the end of the day. Long term, I hope to earn my black belt and learn to be an instructor. It will all be worth the effort! read more

We enrolled my 5 year old son 4 months ago in hopes that the class would help with his confidence as well as focus and discipline. The first day I took him he was nervous to participate as he gets overwhelmed in new situations. Master Akil Acevedo and the rest of the staff where incredibly kind and patient with him. By his second class he had built enough confidence to participate fully and his love for Tae Kwon Do continues to grow! He is so excited to go to class every week and when he received a trophy for getting 10 stars, that was the most proud of an accomplishment I have ever seen him. He is quickly learning that reward requires hard work, patience and discipline. At home he has been more cooperative and respectful. As an added bonus, he sleeps extremely well on nights when he has Tae Kwon Do! I can not say enough good things about Cho's Legacy TKD and the staff. It has been a wonderful experience and we look forward to signing up our youngest son as soon as he is old enough! read more
