Jue’s Taekwon-Do

This place truly is remarkable. As a kick boxer I get the best exercise while learning great self defense techniques at the same time. Gordon Jue is awesome! I HIGHLY recommend
Jue’s Taekwon-​Do! Event if you’ve never tried Kick Boxing Gordon will work with you! So come check us out!

This review is long over due. Gordon the owner is the best! He really cares about his members and will take care of you. I used to do the kickboxing classes and it’s a great workout that gives you the community feel. You’re not just another number or dollar sign to them. I do not currently go to this gym anymore due to my work schedule. But I would definitely recommend them to anyone! It’s affordable, great workout and they treat you like family. Gordon was very understanding when I had to cancel my membership. I have nothing but nice things to say about this place! Highly recommend to anyone $ 40 for unlimited classes! Fun, great community environment.

My son had been Master Jue’s student for almost ten years, he is off to college now.
I wholeheartedly recommend Master Jue’s class ti any child.
This school not just teaches the martial arts (which of course it does extremely well, many students got medals on the last two World Championships in 2012 and 2014), but also helps them to become decent human beings.
We are very lucky to have this school in our town.

We (my son and myself) have been doing Taekwon-​Do for more then two year with Master Jue. He is a great instructor with wide knowledge and good skills. He teaches our kids more then «how to defense them self» — he teaches them values that come with Taekwon-​Do philosophy. I really appreciate his attitude.
On the top of education, this place is a great work out place. Thanks to Jue’s Taeknow-​Do I am in quite good shape :))
You can enjoy classes more then five times per week and more then one hour per day for the same price.

I went to Jue’s Taekwon-​do to try the kick boxing classes at night since I work in the city and cant make it to any other times. I brought two other girls with me to try it out. I HAD A BLAST! I had read the reviews, gave it a shot and couldn’t have been happier. I left feeling strong, healthy, sore, and a little bit winded haha to be honest. I am out of shape now but will definitely be back to visit his classes again.
Plus $ 40 for unlimited classes is hard to beat, I cant wait to go buy my pink gloves and hand wraps :) !

Well, for a first time kickboxer, I would highly recommend heading down to Jue’s Taek-​won Do.
Gordon conducts classes MWF at 8Pm and his classes are a drainer.
He eggs you on in a non-​pushy manner and corrects you incase he sees you doing something wrong and have a possibility of injuring yourself. People who come to his classes are rather dedicated too, which is always a plus. Just make sure you carry a lot of water and a towel, because you will be dripping sweat by the buckets in a matter of an hour.
You could bring your own gloves or buy them here like I did. Gloves are a $ 50 purchases. And membership is $ 40 per month for unlimited classes.
I highly recommend Gordon’s classes. They are usually packed though because he is such a great instructor :)
PS: I need to head back soon!

Never tried kick boxing in my life, and now I plan on doing it rigorously for a while.
Gordon kicked my ass last night and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Such a fun, hard-​working class, you’ll want to push yourself to do better. I went here with my SIL (sis in law) and we were drenched in sweat from head to toe. Bring water and your own sparring gloves, or sing up with the studio for just $ 40 a month unlimited classes!
You pay a one time $ 50 fee for gloves if you buy them there. The classes are small (about 12 people when I went last night) and at all levels so you don’t feel left out. Gordon is a great instructor and encourages you to do your best without hurting yourself – too much. :)
Can’t wait to go back and start kickboxing more. Such a great investment in such a fun environment. I’m a runner and have tried yoga as my off running days, but kickboxing seems so much more rewarding. Music blasts while you work out and the time goes by quick.

I took kickboxing at Jue’s TKD and LOVED it! Everyone (Staff and Students (for kickboxing the students were adults) included) is so friendly! I immediately felt welcomed and comfortable being there. I always got a really good workout.
The studio was very clean, it has a private bathroom there (very clean!!!). They don’t have a water fountain-​so bring a bottle of water-​they are cool with you taking it around with you, on the studio floor, wherever. Their studio is padded in those ultra thick foam mats, but if you are more comfortable working out in your socks they are also fine with that.
It costs $ 40 a month, plus a one time fee of $ 50 for gloves. If you forget your gloves you can use theirs. I usually hate when people are staring at me in the gym, but everyone there is so nice and encouraging that it was so comfortable.
It also looks like they have a very good TKD school if you or your child is looking to do that, I would highly recommend Grace and Gordon as people and as teachers, they would do great with your kids.
I was really sad I had to quit, but hopefully I will be able to come back soon!

My family and I have been going to Master Jue’s Taekwon-​Do classes for ~9 months now so I wanted to write up a review. Simply put, it is amazing and I have to attribute it to the dedication and devotion of not only Gordon Jue but the high ranking belts that help out every day.
The flexibility of the classes compared with the monthly price far exceeds any of the other schools we had checked out. Having a 7^th degree Black Belt teach the classes — along with other 1^st degree to 4^th degree instructors — is excellent. You are constantly learning the small details of why you do things a specific way and what occurs if you don’t. It’s not just a straight martial-​arts workout but a learning experience at the same time. And Master Jue’s dedication shines through every day — along with his sense of humor which helps! Knowing that you are at a school which has brought home Gold, Silver, and Bronze in WORLD competitions is impressive; there is no other way to say it.
If you want to join a studio that will teach you not only the details of Taekwon-​Do but life lessons and new friendships, do not pass this place up. My entire family enjoys coming to it as often as we can.

SWEAT, SWEAT, and more SWEAT without the blood and tears! Awesome workout and a cool instructor. Kind of addicting!

Everyone I know loves Gordon! I think this has the makings of a new reality T.V. show.

This is the 2^nd martial arts place that I have ever taken kick boxing at and I must say… simply Amazing workout!
Classes 3 times a day and they have classes on the weekends which is hard to find. I started about 2 months ago and I absolutely love it.
Go at your own pace, but push yourself. Gordon is an amazing instructor and really pushes you… I haven’t taken one of Grace’s classes yet, but I hear she is awesome as well.
Doesn’t get better than this and its super affordable at $ 40/​month. I used to pay $ 60/​month to only come 3 days a week… so this is a great deal.

Kickboxing is a Great Exercise!!! I love it Definitely gets energy out

An excellent place to work out. The studio is very clean, it’s spacious, well lit, has a great a/​c– ventilation system, the mat is fantastic and the equipment is also excellent. There are two bathrooms for dressing and several benches in front to place items while working out.
The owner/​operators are highly skilled in martial arts and kick boxing and they are able to tap in to those skills resulting in a very effective teaching technique for students of all levels. There are also several other instructors who incorporate their own style of teaching which enhances the opportunity for a student to improve.
The atmosphere is is a combination of cordial, business like and social which provides a comfortable setting for students to continually participate. Another important thing is that there are 17 kick boxing classes each week and the monthly fee allows a student to attend as many classes as they want to.
I have been attending regularly since August 2006. Bottom line is that at age 59 I still work out, I get good results and have no plans to change.

Six years ago when I first moved to the bay my now hubby took an internship for three months in Chicago. Thanks. No, no. Go ahead, I’ll find something to keep myself occupied in this new place with no friends. Really it was fine. But to keep myself occupied I enrolled in kickboxing classes at Jue’s Taekwon-​Do since hubby has been a student of Master Jue’s since high school. Kick boxing kicked my butt. It was fun, tough, effective and never boring. I don’t go anymore because of my work schedule but I’d highly reccommend his classes for any and all from beginners to experienced.

The kickboxing class is awesome! After a long break from taekwondo, I decided it was time to get back in shape. I just started last week with my younger sister and her friend who attended when they were in HS and it’s been great so far.
Gordon is the best! He’ll call you out if your slacking and encourages and pushes you to get a great workout! This is the first place outside of the Krav Maga in SF that’s intense, yet fun. There’s great balance between the cardio and bag work.

I came here in H/​S and was surprised to find out it was still in the exact same place alive and kickin now that I’m back from college! In fact, Gordon even remember my name after a 6 year break, talk about feeling welcomed home!
It is still the same price as it was 6 years ago too…40 bucks a month for unlimited classes! And for someone who avoids the gym like the plague, this is an amazing deal.
I’ve only done the kickboxing classes but let me tell you, it kicks your F*CKING ASS! I’ve been doing it again for almost a month now and I am definately seeing an improvement in my body… I have muscle tone, strength, and I can almost make it through a whole class without collapsing (hahaha).
It is truly an amazing workout that will never get boring. Even if you can make it through a class without dying (i’m almost there…), you can always hit the bag harder, work on your technique, and more!
I loved this place 6 years ago, and I still love it today!

The kickboxing class is great! 1 full hour of exercise and conditioning. Gordon and Grace Jue are completely dedicated to their class and offer top notch services. Plus, they know most everyone by name which makes going there very familiar and comfortable. Finally, there are so many cardio kickboxing classes offered it would fit into anyone’s schedule.
My son takes tae kwon do at the same studio (different hours) and he really enjoys it. He’s only 5 but he can follow the instruction and aspires to be as good as the other kids. He gets exercise in a disciplined environment while learning some important self defense skills.

I highly recommend Jue’s Taekwon-​Do and kickboxing classes.
I am very impressed by Master Jue, his instructors, the facility and students. My 9 year old son and i enjoy taking lessons together, and spending quality father/​son time.
I also enjoy the different topics and lessons each day of the week, and the schedule flexibility throughout the day. (There are classes for age groups, families, and adults.)
The focus on discipline, respect and self-​confidence is really positive.
Master Jue’s school has produced world class martial artists, including international champions.
The cardio kickboxing is also a great class, and i really like the flexible schedule. (There are 3 classes a day — early morning, noon and evening)
Each hour class is broken down to stretching, cardio exercises and bag work.
Unlike other cardio classes, we use the punching bags for resistance training. (it is a lot of fun to kick and punch these bags)
Self defense moves are introduced, and all combined produces a great cardio workout. Great stress relief while burning those calories!

I have been going to Gordon Jue’s Tae Kwon Do studio since I was a senior in high school, aka 2001. I’ve never taken a tae kwon do class, but have been taking his kick boxing classes whenever I was in town for the past 7 or so years.
Gordon’s kickboxing classes are absolutely fabulous. These are an intense work out. The price is a $ 50 sign up fee, which gives you a set of really nice boxing gloves and wraps, and then $ 40/​month if you do credit card for all the kickboxing classes you can drag your weary body too.
Gordon’s a fabulous instructor, as is his wife, Grace; there are also a bunch of other instructors who support the different classes, and they are uniformly excellent as well.
This is the best, most fun, most complete work out I’ve ever found anywhere, and believe me I’ve looked. Nothing can compete!
If you want to try it out, just come to a class a little early and sign a disclaimer and the class is free. There’s a complete schedule on his website.
He also offers tae kwon do classes for all age groups, and has separate women’s classes as well. He seems to have a great following for those classes, too, I’ve just never done them.
Also: he’s won best of the bay area like at least five times in a row, I can’t believe I’m the first to review.
