I recently joined Chungs Taekwondo and I love every bit of it. Joining martial arts class has helped me release the stress Ive been getting from my personal and school life. Im so glad I decided to join his class.사랑해요 Master Chung!!💛

I recently joined Master Chungs kickboxing class and love it! Master Chung is kind and a wonderful teacher. He also pushes you in a positive way to do your best and try new things. He has been very innovative with online and in-person classes and ways to still workout despite the pandemic. He really wants each student to succeed and is a positive role model for kids and adults. I am very glad I joined!

Ive been going to Master Chungs adult Taekwondo since February and have loved going ever since. Its a fantastic place if you are looking for exercise and to learn a new skill in the process. Master Chungs enthusiasm each and every class makes it a great place to learn.

I have studied under Master Chung for about five years. In addition to Taekwondo, students will learn discipline, respect, and the Tenants of Taekwondo: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit. Master Chung takes the time to get to know each of his students individually and offer them guidance on the sport, as well as advice for life. The workouts during the class are tough, but bring great results. The students and instructors in all of the classes form an incredible, positive, supportive community. Overall, training at Chungs Taekwondo is a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend it.

Chung’s Taekwondo is an outstanding choice for young children. Master Chung instills technique and confidence. His studio is also very clean, he has the students use hand sanitizer and takes all necessary precautions. It is a very safe activity and Any parent can feel very comfortable sending their child to Chung’s Taekwondo.

Master Chung is an excellent Takwondo teacher. He cares for kids, and loves to joke around. He is a serious about teaching but make it fun to learn. I am highly recommending him.

Master Chung is a great teacher. I have done Taekwondo for almost 4 years and learned a lot from him. Master Chung teaches us discipline, the tenets of Taekwondo and how to be more confident -Jordan

Have been doing lessons with my son for 2+ years. Great place to learn Taekwondo from a person who honestly cares about his students.

I love Master chungs Junior class, hes very funny he entertains us and he makes me laugh. the workouts can make me a bit tired but I still enjoy it. We learn a lot of techniques and he tells us important lessons. I enjoy his class.

Master Chung is an amazing teacher, knowledgeable, and always looking to make sure that his students are attending classes and actually learning. For new students, he makes sure that they are able to catch up in both skill and physical health, helping them to tune the class to fit their needs.Unfortunately, AMSEpay, the company he works with/for is Terrible. Until such a time as he is no longer working with AMS, I would recommend against signing up for his classes.

If you want a person who is dedicated towards teaching and towards the students, there is no better teacher than Master Chung. He treats all his students as his own kids and is incredibly compassionate and funny, while being strict where he absolutely needs to be. I have been learning Taekwondo under him for the past half a year and he has been a great teacher and a mentor during that period. Of course, the best part of each and every class is the fun that we end up having along with the knowledge gained. The students are a passionate bunch who love to be there and are encouraging each other to perform better. The best part of each session for me personally is the five minutes of meditation and lecture on Taekwondo philosophy. I wholeheartedly recommend this place.

Chung’s Taekwondo is an amazing place! Our son started here about 2 and a half years ago at the age of 3 and he has grown so much in focus, discipline, and self confidence. Master Chung is wonderful with his students and his spirit and energy makes them want to work harder! The instructors are equally fantastic with the kids especially Instructor Cliff and Instructor Mariah! It is like a big family that we are blessed to be a part of! 💕🥋😁

I am a new addition to the Chungs Taekwondo family, and I am so happy that I joined. The adult classes are a great workout and Master Chung is an amazing instructor for all skill levels and ages. He has a very positive and supportive demeanor while also helping students grow in the Taekwondo tenants of courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit. Even when not actively training, I love watching Master Chung Teach; he gives tailored instruction to each of his students, and loves to help each of us. And he is a joy to watch teaching kids! He is great with them!

Master Chung is the best! He will give you a great workout while also making sure you have fun, and he cares deeply about each and every one of his students. Youd be hard-pressed to find another martial arts school that offers such a great experience. I highly recommend Master Chungs school!

Our family loves Master Chung. I met him about 15 years ago when he taught my younger brother. Ive always appreciated the way he taught his students discipline and respect. I now have my 7 year old and 4 year old in his classes and he does nothing but exceed my expectations. My oldest has had a rough year and was acting out badly and his influence on her in just a short amount of time is nothing but a miracle. He gives these kids the tough love they need to be the best they can. Master Chung in amazing and will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Master Chungs taekwondo has given me the ability to find focus and meaning in my daily routine through life. I am a full-time student that also works full time, but I make it a necessity to attend class regularly so I may accomplish solidarity and explore self-awareness. I have only attended class since June but the long-lasting impact that Master Chung has left on me is a result of his kindness to all of his students, his devotion as a christian, his guidance through his students mental wellness, life and even my illnesses. Master Chung demonstrates principles that I myself endeavor to spread to those around me, whether it be mother, brother, friend, or stranger. He is an active listener and offers the advice that he thinks is best -- he by no means asserts his opinion, but offers it for thought. He expects obedience and discipline from his students, no matter the age or rank, but also makes jokes and humbles himself in front of his students so that his students never feel inferior. I will continue my life as a martial artist knowing that I have been instructed in how traditional martial arts are meant to be taught. I trust in him to do best by me, my fellow students, and my future children.

I have been a student of Master Chung for over 14 years, and started with him as a child. He has made a lasting impact in my life, and in many ways has stood as a secondary father figure. Not only is he one of the best martial arts instructors in Michigan (which I can personally attest to having attended other schools prior, and having witnessed other classes, and having competed regionally, nationally, and internationally), but he legitimately cares about his students. Master Chung is always looking out for the best interests of his students, calling when we are sick, asking about our school or jobs, and offering advice on how to be better people in our lives. As a devout christian, and advocate for the tenants of Taekwondo, Master Chung treats everyone with courtesy, and respect. In addition, he tries to elicit and foster those characteristics in his students, as well as discipline, dedication and focus. Master Chung expects that his students give their all in class, regardless of skill level or age. As an instructor in a traditional Korean martial art, he sometimes resorts to different techniques to encourage this dedication, from doing pushups (it is a workout class! ;) ) to jokingly referencing the fact that he is not a school teacher, and that one of the perks of teaching a martial art is that he can yell and kick butt! Occasionally a light jab at said fatty regions (no damage here!) accompanies these jokes, but that is all they are. It is obvious to all of his students that he is only joking, and although the nature of such a class is physical, he would never hurt a student, and takes additional precautions to make sure that all of his students are safe in class.Master Chung is one of the best people that I know. He has struggled through his life to become this amazing person, and I respect him more than anyone else I have ever met. It is because of him that I am the person that I am today.

I have been a student at Chung’s Taekwondo for over ten years now. Each class is challenging but also energizing and fun. No matter your skill level everyone is supportive. Master Chung is a great teacher and mentor who has helped me grow into the person I am today. He has taught me discipline, focus, and how to be more confident and kind. I would not have gotten the same experience at other schools.

Im so grateful that I found this facility and get the pleasure of learning from Master Chung! He is such an incredible instructor. Im currently taking his martial arts kickboxing class and I love it! Its always challenging and has variation. Not only will you improve your fitness level, but experience mental and spiritual growth as well. Its so much more than just exercise.

Master Chung is an exceptional martial artist AND also a skilled and exceptional teacher. You could have one without the other, but Master Chung is definitely both. He has incredible Taekwondo skills, but he also knows HOW to teach. I am a teacher by profession, and I can tell if someone knows how to teach effectively or not. Master Chung runs his classes in very traditional old school martial arts style - so be prepared to bow, stand at attention, use proper Korean terms, and say yes, sir!. Aside from learning kicks, punches, sparring and self defense techniques, there is a focus on fitness in Master Chungs class. Basically, this class is the real deal - its not a cakewalk that you can coast through. If you are seeking an authentic, traditional martial arts school taught by a competent and skilled instructor, this is it!

I send my 3.5 year old girl (the youngest in the class currently) to Master Chungs and she loves it! Master Chung and his instructors are very nice and patient. In the class, the kids learn all-round skills, including attitudes to everyday life. I highly recommend Master Chungs Taekwondo school!

Ive been in Master Chungs kickboxing class for about a year. When I started, I hadnt exercised in about 10 years (seriously), but Ive been able to build my stamina and feel so much stronger and healthier. Master Chung challenges me but doesnt dumb down the class for the other participants. Hes very encouraging and never berates or makes me feel bad for not being able to do what others can do. He is so supportive and cares about each and every one of his students. The kickboxing class members are wonderful people and its always fun to be in class. I never thought Id ever say exercise is fun, but there, Ive said it! I love kickboxing class at Chungs TKD and would recommend it to anyone of any skill level who wants a great workout!

There are very few taekwondo schools that can match the quality of instruction at Chung’s Taekwondo. My brother and I have commuted an hour to class from Ionia for 8 years, and I am always impressed by the dedication Master Chung shows for his work. We would not be who we are today without him.

Our son has been going to Master Chung and he absolutely loves it. We are very happy with the work he de does with the kids. We are appreciative that we have someone like him in our community. 5/5

Ive been at this school since I was a young teenager and I think its a testament to the quality and standard of this school that after 14 years I can still be challenged, pushed and (maybe most of all) still have a great time doing it! Its rare youll find a Master that is as personally attentive as Master Chung is. From the young kids to the adults he personally teaches every class every day. I dont know of many, if any, schools that are that lucky! I consider myself blessed to have a school like this where I am!

Master Chung is the best teacher! I highly recommend joining Chungs Taekwondo and Martial Arts USA. Everyone is so nice and inclusive, youll fit right in!

I have been a student of Chungs Taekwondo for several years now. Master Chung epitomizes all of the elements of the Tenants of Taekwondo, which are: Courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self control, and an indomitable spirit. He is personally involved with each of his classes on a daily basis and demonstrates great concern for each one of his students development.We are all individuals and as such we tend to develop our skills and inner-strengths at different paces. Some of us need more time and encouragement than others. I have seen Master Chung take that time and patients with his students. He seems to believe in us before we believe in ourselves...and he holds on to that belief until we as students believe it also.Master Chungs motto is: You can do it! His students who truly believe know, Yes, I can!

Its difficult to exaggerate how much benefit I have received from my six+ years learning martial arts from Master Chung. Lets put it this way ... when I started - I was 43 years old - I couldnt even sit cross-legged without throwing my back out for a month, and that is no exaggeration. Roll the clock forward, in two weeks I test for my black-belt, and in all this time I have not been injured once ... and sitting cross-legged is my most comfortable position!But for all the benefit I have received as a middle-aged man from his unique blend of skill, kindness, toughness and dedication to his craft, what Master Chung achieves with the children, teenagers and young adults is nothing short of miraculous to watch. The transformation that occurs as young people move through the colored belt system under his guidance is amazing; from jittery and wandering, to focused and calm; from impudent and boundary-less to respectful and safe; from meek or acting out to confident and articulate (and as he often points out through entertaining stories of his youth, he started out himself as the worst kind of young punk!). It takes time, but from my observation over the years, this transformation is nearly inevitable. Its a pleasure to see these young people mature, and touching to see the appreciation on the parents faces.Personally, I am busy, naturally curious and unfocused, I lack discipline, Im full of excuses ... when it comes to my health. Business-wise, Im a success. So I am particularly grateful that Master Chung has stuck with me, never shaming me, never forgetting that I am person, not just a customer and student. Hes the coach I needed when I was 10!If you have tried martial arts before or thought about it because you have an attraction to it for some reason, as I did; but have been unable to find a place that feels right, as I was; I encourage you to give Master Chung a try. He is different, and he is the real deal. He manages to translate the eastern values inherent in martial arts in a way that is simultaneously authentic and comfortable for westerners and native Asians alike. And he makes it fun. Oh ... and you learn how to kick some serious ass if, god-forbid, you ever need to.Jump in, Im certain you wont regret it.

Master Chung will challenge you mentally, physically, and spiritually. He is the best teacher I have met. He understands what its like to learn a new skill and instills confidence into you. The student creed focuses on living a life that is true to yourself.I have been through the school and am senior in college. I know the difference between someone who knows what hes doing and someone who is winging it. Master Chung is a true professional and cares about his students. He keeps up to date with their personal lives (he doesnt dig too deep).Before training begins, Master Chung gives a deep life lesson. He tries to make students see things from a different perspective.If you are looking for a mentor, someone to push you to achieve, a new challenge, or positive growth, I HIGHLY recommend you enroll.

Master Chung is really good with kids and teaches them authentic taekwodo. He not only teaches them martial arts but also important moral lessons. My 5 years old son really enjoys and looks forward for class every week. He became more mature and confidant. For that I am very thankful!

Great place if you want to enroll your kids in an athletic activity. I have seen my childs progress since she started almost two months ago and I am very happy with the results! I highly recommend Master Chungs Taekwondo.

As a student classes are awesome and instructional. We spend lots of time practicing our kicks self defense, punches, etc... Master Chung is a very good instructor and has been going strong for many years. He is well trained and as far as martial arts goes is the best instructor I have had yet.

My daughter has trained at Chungs Taekwondo since she was 4 years old. She is currently 11 and I have to say that I do not think she would have gotten the same experience at any other material arts school in the area. Master Chung is excellent with children of all ages and provides the perfect mix of discipline, encouragement and fun. I have no trouble providing this strong recommendation to anyone who is thinking about martial arts for their child or themselves.

Master Chung is one of the greatest men I have ever met. I was scared at first, coming to the class, thinking I have no experience, so I would suck really bad! I did suck, but Master Chung is an amazing teacher, and can get anyone to a higher level. He will work with your personally to improve on things you need help with. He is very easy to approach and talk to, so dont be afraid to ask him with help on anything. And I mean anything. If you have personal problems, he will listen and try his best to help in anyway possible. While very nice, he can be stern when needed to- all just to push you , so you can exceed your own expectations. I have only been at this school for 6 months, and I have learned so much from Master Chung and others who attend this school (we are all like a big family). I have also gained so much more confidence in myself, thanks to this school! It would be very wise to come learn from Master Chung! Bonus, he is very handsome, so you will have something nice to always look at in class :) !

HE DID NOT FORCE ME TO WRITE THIS REVIEWJust kidding)) Honestly, Im third year international student at MSU and Master Chung is like deputy father for me. He is not only great martial arts teacher, he is also supportive mentor and hearty person. Although, his style of teaching is traditional,which requires a lot of discipline and concentration, he never puts excessive pressure on students.Thus, he would definitely open the doors, but you will be the one who enters.

I been learning taekwondo for the last few months and it’s really great. Master Chung is really nice, funny, helpful and the coolest teacher ever. The class is really great and amazing. I love it. I highly recommend it.

Joining Master Chung’s taekwondo class was one of the best decisions I’ve made since moving to East Lansing. Working as a programmer, I don’t get to be too physically active at work and the classes are always a great workout. Master Chung is an excellent instructor who cares about his students well being and while he pushes us to be our best and train hard and takes us out of our comfort zone, he never takes it too far. He does more than just train us physically. Every day at the beginning of class he gives us a philosophical lesson about how we should live our lives according to the tenants of taekwondo and to his Christian beliefs. Outside of Master Chung, his students are some of the kindest and dedicated people I know. The school feels more like a family than it does a mere place to train. If anyone is interested in learning taekwondo in the East Lansing area, I’d highly recommend looking into Chungs Taekwondo and Martial Arts USA.

Wonderful place to be. I recommend kids of all ages and even adults to come here to learn. Ever since I started, I have learned a lot. He is a great teacher and he is really nice. I recommend going there because he will teach you very well in a form of fast paced classes which are action pact.

Master Chungs school is amazing. The people that go there are incredibly nice and you get an amazing workout. I go to one of the Taekwondo classes, and honestly this is the best one Ive been to. I was at a different school before I moved here and then I tried out multiple other schools before I chose this one. It was a great descision!

This is a great place to learn Taekwondo! The workouts might be challenging but fun. Master Chung is an amazing teacher and I highly recommend this place!

I’ve been taking master Chung’s cardio kickboxing class for almost a year now. Not only do I feel like I’m in better shape, but I really enjoy going to his class. I would definitely recommend his class to any age or athletic level.

Absolutely awesome! Master Chung is such an energetic teacher and I have enjoyed every minute training taekwondo with him. Each class gives you such a great workout and the environment is so fun and nurturing.

Master Chungs classes are the most unique as he personally teaches each class and makes every one of them exciting. He knows how to get the most out of students so they can push to the next level and continue challenging themselves. Out of my 8 years there I never have regretted coming to his class. It truly is a one of kind experience training there.

Joining Master Chungs classes was one of the best decisions I have made. The work outs are tough and you will feel stronger and more flexible fast. The best part though, is the culture and philosophy that he teaches along with the physical training. :)

Master Chung cares a lot about his students and is a great instructor. I benefitted so much from his cardio kickboxing class while I went to this gym.

I went there for two years while doing my graduate program at MSU. If you want to learn the spirit of martial arts, feel stronger and accomplished as you rise in rank, and feel camaraderie with your fellow students, then I strongly suggest you try his dojang out. To be honest, it might be a tough few first weeks as you prepare your body and mind for more challenges, but perseverance (and attendance) is key. You will get stronger if you listen to and keep up with Master Chung.

I have been going to Master Chungs school for a year now and I love it! I am a long time practitioner of martial arts, and Master chung is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Classes vary in activity and are always fun. But if you want a place to be serious about learning Taekwondo, this is the place.Master Chung is also very active in the competitive scene, being an administrator at the ATU regional tournament last spring. If you want to set a goal, he will help you reach it, then surpass it, and continue as a true martial arts warrior.

I joined Chungs Taekwondo about a month ago in order to work on my fitness level and return to martial arts (I studied Kenpo for three years as a teenager) and I believe that I couldnt have made a better choice. Master Chung is an excellent educator and is able, and above all willing, to break down techniques and practices into individual pieces to ensure that you are proficient at every aspect.His method of teaching focuses on technique, accuracy, a healthy mindset and fitness. When first starting I was all but wiped out from the warm up and then we moved into technique training now, weeks later, the warm ups are just as intensive (if not more) but I know that my fitness level is increasing.I strongly encourage anyone interested in Taekwondo (or martial arts in general) and getting in shape to visit Chungs Taekwondo.

Coming here was the best decision I could have made! Master Chung is an amazing teacher who always encourages you and helps push you towards being the best you can! Plus, everyone in the classes are very welcoming and helpful!

Master Chung is a great teacher. I joined the cardio-kickboxing class two years back and it’s being a wonderful experience. Master Chung is a very passionate teacher and he continuously motivates us to do better. Really enjoy the class and the wonderful classmates.

Master Chung is a great teacher and I absolutely love going there to train. It is a great place and mark stice is a person who has not gathered facts and is someone who needs to Study more before posting a comment publicly and I support Master Chung 100% I also would like to thank Master Chung for being a great teacher to me and his other students.

If you like hard-core, crazy, and energy packed classes, this is THE school for you. Master Chung teaches us all aspects of Taekwondo (skills, philosophy, and the way of life) with love, passion, humor and rigor with a hint of craziness. We practice hard, study hard, and play HARDER!!!! Come and join us, youll never regret it.

I love this place. Master chung is the coolest. Hes understanding and hes actually pretty funny. If youre looking for a good place to learn taekwando then this is definitely a great place to go.

Master Chung is an amazing, articulate teacher, and he supports and encourages all students to succeed in class and life. Also, there are awesome students to engage with in the class.

Master Chung is a great teacher who loves all his students... though he will also make you work hard... I mean HARRRRRD!!! Great experience. You can really get something out of the classes.

I have been enrolled in Master Chungs Cardio Kickboxing class for about five years, and no two days have been the same. Master Chung is an exceptional teacher, giving each student his full attention and consideration. He is also very handsome!

We love the way he teaches. He is amazing with kids. Even I enjoy the class just watching it. Highly recommended.

When he was 12 years old I switched my son to Chungs TKD. He had been in a different studio for 6 years and had accomplished a junior black belt.This although, he still fell over when attempting certain moves; it was obvious he did not deserve the status he had been awarded through belt awards by time spent rather than skill mastered. I am a parent who believes in my children earning promotions and rewards through accomplishments and skill, and elected to move to Chungs because it appeared from my visits that Master Chung shared this view in interacting with his students.For the first year my child was not selected to attempt a belt test. He was instructed in the importance of working for the value of accomplishment rather than the expectation of effortless promotion. Master Chung worked with my son to master the skills he had missed at the previous studio and was a hard task master; he helped him to develop a pride in himself through mastery rather than meaningless attributes. Master Chung is a caring Master who works tirelessly to help our children grow into self actualizing adults. He is a firm taskmaster using the training he received while growing up in Korea to benefit his students. Everything I have ever seen him do is to help the growth of his wards.My son is now a young married man with a Masters degree and studying Law at MSU; he is a self actualizing man. The first thing he did when he moved back to attend MSU was to enroll himself and his young wife at Chungs TKD.Nothing more need be said.

Im an adult student at this school. Master Chung is a true martial artist and a great mentor. Be prepared to sweat!

Master Chung is the best instructor ive ever had. I wish that there were more like him.

Chungs Taekwondo is an amazing school master Chung will give you a good workout and good advise for life this martial arts school will make you sweat and I really recommend this martial arts school and for kids class master Chung really cares for his students he sometimes gently taps the kids that means hey wake up and sometimes takes out his stick for discipline but the stick is a symbolic meaning he never hits them hard he just taps them very gently so all in all Chungs Taekwondo school is the best school you are gonna find here🥋🥋🥋🥋🥋🥋😀😀😀

Master Chung really cares about the kids and its amazing how much discipline and self-confidence they can gain in a short time.

Our experience with Master Chung cannot be described in words. He is a great teacher, while he focuses on training; his way of teaching his students life lessons makes the class complete. He is fun, nurturing and caring teacher. We miss chungs taekwondo.

Master chungs is a great teacher.He teaches really good and its a friendly enviorment and my kids love it.

I joined Master Chung`s cardio-kickboxing class about two years ago. Master Chung is an exceedingly talented and patient teacher, also he truly cares for his students. I highly recommend the cardio-kickboxing class for those who are interested in getting exposure to fun workouts and essential self-defense skills.

Master Chung is a excellent teacher and his school teaches not just martial arts but the spirit of Taekwondo.

I have been coming to Chungs Taekwondo and Martial Arts for about three years. When we moved to the area, my teenage son, a black belt in Taekwondo, and I were seeking a Dojang in which we would be comfortable. After taking classes from a few instructors, we settled on Master Chung. I was doubtful about his style at first - he is challenging and believes in discipline.However, I have since learned that he is also a compassionate, entertaining and inspiring instructor. He teaches every class - both Taekwondo and cardio kickboxing. He practices the disciplines with the students - demonstrating along the way.His classes are varied and he challenges all his students - but never beyond what he knows they can achieve. The community of students is welcoming,friendly and supportive. I expect to stay with Chungs Martial Arts and Taekwondo for years to come, and I invite you to join us!

I have been at Chungs Dojong for 10 plus years. He teaches genuine TKD, similar to the Kukkiwon (I have been there and trained, and find the training comparable). Unlike some dojongs, he teaches EVERY class. He is creative, enthusiastic and very skillful. He works the students hard and is particular about correct techniques and forms. He never gives up on a student. He is particularly gifted at working with children who need discipline and focus and I have seen amazing progress in some of the younger students.He makes Taekwondo a genuine experience - and he makes training fun. I cant imagine a better place to train.

I joined Master Chungs taekwondo class about a month ago and I love it. Master Chung is a great teacher he puts a lot of effort in teachig every class and makes sure you learn the proper form of the techniques he teaches you. The classes are challenging, he pushes you to do your best but without putting pressure on you. If you are serious about learning taekwondo this is the right place. He is a very nice person and I would reccomend to join his classes to anyone.

Master Chung is a very good teacher, the kind that makes you work hard and makes you tough. He is not like other teachers, he doesn’t give you a Black Belt without making you work hard

Great teacher, supportive class, and a none judgemental environment. 10/10 would recommend.

Fun place. Great staff 👍👍

Tough workouts yet a lot of fun & great people to bond with in the class

He works you hard but its worth it. Good teacher

Master Chung is a great instructor and really cares for his students.

Great class. Great teacher.

Great environment, engaging class, nice work out!
