Chosun Black Belt Academy

Me and my kids were attending Chosun almost for 4 years, but recently we moved to another state and had to change tkd school. Our experience at Chosun was filled with a lot of nice moments. My kids not just had exercise, learned to be organized and disciplined, but at same time made a lot of friends and had unforgettable time celebrating Halloween, Christmas days, 4^th of July, together with Instructors and friends from Chosun during all those years. If you are new in area or looking martial arts school for your kids, or even for yourself, you should try Chosun.

My two children and I have attended Chosun Academy for several years. It is always a welcoming place, with a working balance between formality and open learning. Master Peterson provides a detailed progressive curriculum with clear expectations. There is an emphasis on good behavior in addition to good technique. Beyond this, each student is given opportunity for individual attention, so that they can have support as they discover their own strengths and weakness. For my family, each of us had different obstacles to overcome in order to achieve black belt, but we all learned the value of setting and working to obtain a long-​term goal. The instructors truly want each member to succeed and have fun, and this shows in their teaching.

When I began researching martial arts schools for my son, I was looking for a family-​centered environment that would teach technique along with discipline. I am so happy that I found Chosun Black Belt Academy. This school has a unique family feel. My son has been able to learn valuable skills in self-​control and perseverance that have allowed him to excel in school and life. This is a martial arts school that builds character!

Chosun is a family-​friendly Tae Kwon Do school that teaches more than martial arts. It instills values like courtesy, integrity, and personal responsibility to all students.

I have been a Chosun member for over 5 years. It started as a simple activity to do with my nephew to help build confidence and self esteem. I had always wanted to do a martial art and this seemed like a good fit. Pretty soon my sister started coming to drop off my nephew and loved it to. She started as well as both of my nieces. Now we have the whole family going and it is great for bonding. What I love most about Chosun is that the people make it feel like a family. They are so friendly and warm. From a training perspective it is clearly a cut above. I have competed at many tournament with Chosun and our school always ranks high, with tons of trophy winners. If you are looking for a family friendly environment to train, grow, and get top notch instruction, then this is the place.

Great place for all family members, regardless of age. Kids learn confidence, respect, and hard work, and adults learn that not everything is «just for kids». You will not regret coming to Chosun!

So I started Taekwondo when I was young, and have kept doing it throughout my adult life. The experience I had through this gym and it’s instructors will stay with all the way to Los Angeles (where I currently live).
In case you didn’t know, Taekwondo is a Korean martial art that is in the Olympics. That’s right, the Olympics! How cool is that?!
What’s really cool about Chosun though, is that you don’t just have to be an aspiring athlete to want to join here. Whether you want to stop by to check out their great programs for kids (learning respect, discipline, manners), shed some unwanted pounds from the belly, or finally take off an item from that bucket list, this is the place for you. After all the years I was a member here, I was always treated with kindness and respect by not only the staff, but by other members as well.
Actual gym facilities I’ve been a part of always tried to upsell me on things. «Oh you need privates. Do you take whey protein?» Just weird stuff. Or even worse than that though was when I could never get the machine I wanted, or super annoying loud talkers just ruined the environment. The lies and car salesman tactics can just be much at time — and Chosun doesn’t do any of that stuff. Never has, never will. I now understand what true class and quality is.
Master Peterson, the school owner has always been unbelievably amazing to me. He has always been nothing but honest and up front — two things which are hard to find now a days in a business/​client relationship. His school itself has a great atmosphere where people are always making plans to hang out with each other after classes. That sort of bond is really hard to find.
More than anything, I just don’t want you to think this is only a place for teaching martial arts. Yes, of course Chosun does that (and unbelievably well I might add), but there’s just an amazing experience that one can partake in here if they open themselves up to it. If you get a chance, I highly recommend that you stop by and do a class.
