January 2016 will mark my 10th year at Chang Brothers under Master Chang and honestly, a simple…read moreYelp review cannot describe how this school has influenced me as a person. Disclaimer to readers: I had previous instruction in Shotokan Karate at the Schaumburg Park District for about a year before moving to Chang Brothers. I received my black belt here and have been a black belt/instructor since 2008. *I am not being paid to write a review, nor am I receiving anything for my perspective. I am basing my review as a (soon-to-be) 10 year student as I am today.* In my several years of training and teaching at Chang Brothers, I can bluntly say that our school is not easy. Other schools around the area would gladly accept students, give them a black belt, and let them be on their way. This school, on the other hand, will not give out black belts unless they have met the school's standards on what a black belt represents. Our program also should not be seen as a daycare where parents drop off their children, let them have fun for an hour with their friends, then go home, not learning one thing about Taekwondo. We have high expectations for students who expect quality martial arts training, including focus, discipline, and respect. Although the first few months of training are difficult, the rewards are great. For children, focus in school and behavior at home improves. For teens, self-confidence and respect towards family and others improves. For adults, strength, cardio, flexibility, and overall health improves. The more a student puts into the program, the more outcomes that student can receive. Personally, I believe this school has changed me as an individual. I do feel more disciplined and respectful because of my black belt. I have less fears about not being able to defend myself, especially while I was commuting in downtown Chicago for college. Even as an instructor, I have learned how to be patient and understand our students of different backgrounds. Overall, the road to achieving your black belt will not be easy, but if you're looking for a commitment that can possibly change your perspective of martial arts, Chang Brothers Taekwondo Academy is the school for you. I look forward to seeing you in class.

As a parent, what do you look for in a martial-arts school?…read more We searched for a school that could connect with our overly-energetic three-year-old son, Nick. He was certainly nervous when he got out on the mat, unsure of why the uniforms and the world of supportive discipline he was placed in. Nick was a typical three-year-old, always having difficulty with basic prompts and just staying still: all part of what makes three-year-olds so much fun and yet so challenging. Nick began in the "Dynomites" program, which is tailored specifically to not only new students, but in the 3-6 years age range. A lot of therapeutic approaches are clearly applied in the Dynomites program. There's attention to gross as well as fine motor skills. There's positive behavioral support that is driven by compassionate instructors who truly honor the martial arts by how the so selflessly give to each and every student. There's a constant stream of positive energy that bolsters confidence and an "I can do this" attitude. Nick began to develop before our eyes. He learned the importance of following instructions, and he thrived on the support he received to get there. He learned the value of "yes m'am," and "yes sir." Nick connected to the professionalism of the school, the amazing support staff - most of which are young students themselves who have taken on leadership roles in the fantastic school. Let me add that we pass at least a half-dozen karate schools on our way to Superstar, three of which are within walking distance in our small town of Bartlett, Illinois. It's now been two and one-half years that we've been with the Superstar family. Nick recently reached his black -striped belt, demonstrating his hard work and time invested, and has now moved up to a new class of students at Superstar Karate. Everything we were looking for, we found at Superstar. Thank you to the fine instructors; thank you to all of you Yelp consumers that took the time to share in our wonderful experience.

Great environment for children to learn Tae Kwon Do, gain strength and confidence, learn respect along with practical self defense skills! As an adult student of his, going from second to third degree black belt, I am truly developing into a better martial artist with each class! I'm gaining strength and flexibility I didn't think I could acheive at this age (late 30s). Master Jung really pays attention to detail, sees what areas you need to work on and brings a plan to help you reach those goals. I'm getting a great workout, learning new self defense techniques and having fun. Since working with him to fine tune certain skills, I've gone to a couple competitions, including ILLINOIS STATE, and brought home a combination of gold, silver and bronze medals. If I could give him 10 stars I would. Hoping his business continues to grow, he's a great addition to the area, I hope families take advantage of his presence!!!
