J S Black Belt Academy

4 years in and my daughter is now a 1^st degree blackbelt and will be testing for her 2^nd degree in June 2016. The program is rigorous with 3x’s a week classes including sparring. The blackbelt classes on Tuesday evenings are intense and run about 1.5 hrs. With 4 WTF Tournaments under her belt, my daughter is now leading classes as one of the leaders and should earn her Jr. Instructor certification soon. Pretty amazing seeing how much my daughter has grown in her form and discipline. My son who is 8 will be testing for his Jr. Blackbelt (black-​red) after 4 years in the program. He hopes to earn his blackbelt in Dec 2016. I am very happy and satisfied with Master Che and Instructor Yi’s guidance and instruction. I cannot recommend this place enough for serious TKD instruction.

Too many good things to say on Unilocal about J.S. Black Belt Academy taekwondo. My whole family goes here. Both of my kids (girls) have won gold medals in either Poomsae or Sparring at the U.S. Junior Tae Kwon Do Championship and my wife is more flexible than ever. Need I say more? But I must say more, for this Master It’s not about the competitions. Master Chae teaches the martial art of Tae Kwon Do but also teaches a whole list of other things everyone should live their lives by. Students learn self confidence, respect for others and to obey their parents. Whether you want your kids to learn self defense, get in shape or learn some self control, this is the only place in Orange County I’d send my kids. If I ever moved I’d drive a long way to continue my lessons with Master Chae.
Adult classes are separate from kids and very challenging but not impossible, even if you’re in your late forties or older you can enjoy these classes. If you’re in very good shape I think you would still find classes challenging but don’t let this scare you away, if your not. From the time you’re a white belt Master Chae will push you to do your best but also not to over do it. I hope to see you in class.
If you want to know all the lessons he teaches the kids see my picture of Master Chae’s terminology which includes the student creed, membership oaths, home rules for children and more. From the sheet, «Children who do not obey their parents cheerfully may be reduced in belt rank»
Lastly, Master Chae goes out of his way to do some fun and bonding activities. He has a Halloween party, a movie night, a December holiday party and a black belt celebration if anyone passes their BB test.
Belt promotion tests are based on skill competency and attendance and are given once a month to those who have proven they are ready to advance both in skill and in attitude. Promotion test night is a very serious event with a celebration at the end.

Can I give 6 stars? JS Black Belt Academy has been wonderful for our family. We signed up our 10 year old daughter a couple of years ago, and about 6 months later, my husband and I signed up. It’s a hard workout (I challenge you :), but so much fun. Master Chae has a way of making you fall in love with Tae Kwon Do. It’s such a beautiful art form that can’t help but permeate every of your life. We all eat better, feel better and behave better :). Our daughter is learning much more than an exercise routine. She is learning self-​respect, self-​discipline, respect for others, comradery and so much more. If you’re looking for a Tae Kwon Do studio, you need look no more!

J S Black Belt Academy has been a great place for my son. The techniques, discipline and teamwork taught are outstanding. My son has learned so much in the 7 weeks he’s been attending. He’s much more respectful, flexible and just loves to go to his classes. Master Chae is so wonderful with all the children. On top of teaching them all the techniques, discipline, respect, teamwork and honor, he teaches them to believe in themselves. He also takes the time to speak to the parents on areas that the child may need extra work. He’s a very humble person and has definitely made a difference in our lives. I can’t say enough positive things about this place and the instructors. I have signed up my child for the entire year and really looking forward to it! Definitely recommend it and if I could give it more stars, I would be more than happy to rated the highest!

In only a few months our son has been able to gain confidence, not only in Tae Kwon Do, but also helped him become focused in other areas such as school and other sports too! Master Chae is very disciplined but also focuses on positive reinforcement and makes it fun the students. It has quickly become our sons favorite activity and he can’t wait for the next class!
We had researched a few other studios however most of them had the kids playing a lot of games and they didnt seem to be learning much. At JS Black Belt Academy Master Chae has a very structured training session and the kids (and adults) are learning a lot. The entry price was good too at $ 99 for 9 weeks which made it easy to give it a try… although once you start you wont want to stop!
