Off the bat, I came here specifically for Muay Thai, so can't comment on the others…read more So, I'm kind of having a hard time with this review. They are super, super nice people... but it's just not quite there. I've been to a bunch of better and worse Muay Thai gyms, and this place falls somewhere in the bottom. 1. Quality. This is really the biggest issue; nobody there is really qualified to teach Muay Thai. One of the trainers is a (lovely!) kid of 17 or 18 who just does not have enough experience, and the other is an older man who just has no muay thai skills. I never did see any of the trainers listed on their website teach anything. I know this is the East Coast and not the most metropolitan area, but even basics are not really there. There are no drills and pretty much no technical work. Lots of long combinations that don't always make sense, and not strenuous enough to count as a workout. Even worse, what's going on is frequently quite unsafe. There is a lot of training without proper gear (shin guards, hand wraps etc) and way too much hard sparing for people's level of ability. We all get it, it's martial arts, but what it should not be is people walking out of there with bruises everywhere because they've been whaling on each other or doing kicks without pads. 2. Rates. These are pretty high for what you get, and come with a 2x a week maximum. Once you're there you can take more than one class, but it still sucks that you basically have to pack all workouts into two days rather than being able to come when you want to. So you basically need another gym to work out at. 3. Scheduling and space. The classes are all at 6 and 7pm, which, for someone who works, is just really tough. Which means that unless you're actively in a class, as above, you need another gym. 4. Facilities. This might be a personal gripe, but it stops it from being a 'real' gym in my eyes - there are no showers. This means that there is no way to go work out, and then do anything else outside of go home and shower. Also... this is picky, but their heavy bags are not filled correctly and thus provide very little resistance and are too soft, and I remember someone saying about one of the bags that it had 'something hard inside' which, again, is quite unsafe, and kind of makes me wonder if they even know what it's filled with...? So... in summary. I can't really recommend it. It just doesn't feel like a safe space that's conducive to either learning or working out.

Master Y Kim is an amazing instructor, capturing and keeping the kids attention with fun exercises and learning experiences. He knows every kid by name, seems to genuinely care about their progress and is great at recognizing where kids need extra help. Ms Petra is always there with a smile on her face to greet children and parents alike, and to make sure the kids have the best time. No matter how busy she is, she always makes time to ask how you are doing. The program at Master Chang's blends taekwondo instruction with character building skills and experiences. The staff and class helpers foster an atmosphere of positivity, support, and respect amongst the kids in a fun and engaging way. My child looks forward to every class he goes to, and this is the first activity where he hasn't complained once about going, or asking when it will be over.  We recently also had his birthday party there and it was super fun for all involved, including even the parents who got to participate in the taekwondo lesson, watch a performance from the talented demo team of students from this location, and hold boards while their children broke them with the skills they learned at the party. Parents let us know how much fun their children had and commented on how engaging Master Y Kim was specifically. I highly recommend anyone to try out taekwondo classes at Master Chang's and specifically this location.
