The structure, format teachers and overall environment is great for encouraging growth towards the next rank, building confidence in accomplishing something of value, and really does drive a culture of respect, honor and being a part of something greater than themselves. My daughter thoroughly enjoys the school, teachers, as well as learning Taekwondo and mastering the skills required to be great.

This place is not what it used to be. I am so disappointed with the current state of the dojang…read more You used to have to work hard for your black belt, but now it feels like they give them out like candy. This school is clearly more about the money than the success of its students. The instructors used to be more skilled and now it looks like they are just trying to get through the class rather than actually wanting to help students. More than half of the class is spent doing jumping jacks and conditioning exercises rather than actually teaching Taekwondo. I don't remember the last time I saw Hwang's focus on the quality of kicks, sparring techniques, blocks, stances, and the individual weaknesses of the kids. They typically rush through these aspects whenever they do go over them --which leaves the students with terrible form and a lack of skills for self-defense. There is barely any space for the parents to sit down as well. They used to have an upstairs area where parents and students could hang out but now they have been trying to lease the upstairs space for the past three years. It just shows that they care more about the money than the students and families that are a part of the dojang. It also feels like most of the instructors don't care anymore. I mean during belt-level tests, students sometimes have an instructor in front of them telling them step-by-step how to do the poomsae when students are supposed to memorize these to receive the belt. It's an absolute joke! This place is nowhere close to a school or an academy or anything to do with teaching. The instructors look like they have lost their passion for Taekwondo and teaching. If you are looking for a place to learn how to properly learn Taekwondo, this is NOT the place for you.

My daughter has been going to Hwang's for three years, during which time she has grown tremendously…read moreand gained a great deal of confidence. At age 5, she started at a different martial arts school in the area, to help her gain some skills to overcome her shyness. Unfortunately, this other school's teaching style did not accommodate kids like her, who are more hesitant and cautious, which was disappointing, because this was one of the reasons why we wanted her to try martial arts. At the first sign of nervousness, she was told that weakness and tears were "not allowed on the mat," and was made to sit out. At age 5. Which I found appalling. Enrolling instead at Hwang's was one of the best decisions we have made. The instructors have been patient and encouraging, never shaming her when she has struggled. Instead, with just the right amount of good-natured encouragement, she has felt supported and welcomed, has overcome so much anxiety and self-doubt, and three years later she is a proud junior black belt, at age 8. The confidence she has gained has carried over into her school and social life, and I can safely say that we largely have Hwang's to thank for this. I feel that the curriculum for kids is age-appropriate and a good balance and progression of physical and mental discipline. General kids' classes do not teach hardcore elite-level technique, and that is fine. Students seeking more intensive martial arts experience are free to sign up for private lessons, or ask about enrolling in the Olympic training class. There will always be fees involved with testing and tournaments, and black belt promotion involves time and financial commitment just as at any reputable taekwondo school. For the positive changes we have seen in our daughter through taekwondo at Hwang's, we strongly feel that the investment is well worth it. Also, black belts are registered with the Kukkiwon in Korea, which is widely known as the world taekwondo headquarters. In other words, Hwang's is legit. Lead instructors and masters have all been welcoming, friendly, and willing to take time to answer any questions or concerns. All the instructors, including the assistants, are excellent role models for the younger students. Master Hwang takes pride in each student who comes through the door. The enrollment has grown a lot recently, and the school is undergoing renovations to accommodate the growth. Parking can be a challenge, but there is extra space available farther up the "street"at PSE. Our family looks forward to many more years to come, and more dan stripes on those belts.

There is a class that comes in just after my son's Wednesday class that has more adults. Watching them during belt testing tells me that they also do a good job with Adult classes. Their schedule is heavily focused on the kids though. I'm impressed with the instructors and how they push the kids to get better but do so within limits of what is reasonable for each child. They taylor their approach to ensure every kid gets what they need and progresses even if that means holding them back from testing one month. The only criticism that I would have is that they have set up their program to progressively cost more and more. This is great business practice and it works wonderfully. I admire it but it is frustrating when every time you turn around you are likely getting gently reminded of another thing that would be great for your kid and it of course comes with additional cost. That said - you do get your monies worth here. Excellent personalized instruction even in larger classes and instructors who know your kid and care about them. I'm very happy that we found DMW and it has done a world of good for our son.

The instructors focus on five core values and make the kids memorize them along with their forms. The staff here is all very friendly and gifted. Your kid will learn to focus and become stronger and confident if they put in the effort. They won't advance the student until they see that the student has put in the work and time to learn. I've seen our son advance through the belts faster than older students and some young girls have caught up to him despite starting after he started. So it really is what the student puts into it that they really get out a valuable life lesson and skill. Teachers focus on new students and place them with similar belts so they can see the other forms and hopefully advance. The do no contact sparring for the kids. Our son did a short intro class and loved it so we signed him up for a year.

My son ended up joining and his friend didn't, which was kind of funny since he was the one who suggested it. As my son continued, I thought it looked like so much fun so I joined in too. Master Kwon and Instructor Kwon is a husband and wife team and they are so kind and nice. They push the kids to be respectful, focused, confident and kind. They are true role models for these kids as well as the adults. They are also very precise and position their students exactly where their hands need to be and where their foot placement should be. They also build up the kids confidence, and it's like night and day. We have watched so many kids grow from these shy and almost meek kids into confident and strong children. The great thing as well is that they don't teach the kids to "fight". They teach them self defense, respect, kindness and discipline. They have a 5 stripe system where the kids can earn a trophy at each belt test if they do 5 tasks. 1) read 14 books, 2) do 10 chores a day for 60 days, 3) teacher sign off for their schooling, 4) testing for their form and 5) parent sign off of their papers to get the last stripe. And that last stripe is a goal that the parents can set for their kids. It's a great system and it makes sure that the kids study, are kind to their teachers and other kids at school, they do their chores at home, and are respectful to their parents and siblings. My son even started doing competitions which he didn't want to do at first. After some encouragement by myself and the Kwons, he finally decided to enter into a competition. He was really nervous at first, but now after 2 competitions under his belt, he has built up a lot of confidence and is now excited to continue entering into more competitions. I can't say enough about Master and Instructor Kwon. They are so nice, kind and sweet. They are very inspiring and our lives are so much better from learning from their example.
