OUTSTANDING! I can't emphasize enough how great this place is! You can count on Master Kim, Master Jong, Master Johnson and the rest of the team go above and beyond for your kid. Expect to take TKD seriously going here, they pay close attention to each child and adjust to each individuals needs. They always find a way to make classes fun and productive. There's immediate difference with childs confidence, listening, and physical strength. I was looking forward to having my kid training at this school for a long time but unfortunately had to move. Highly recommend to anyone who is considering getting their kids into martial arts. WORLD CHAMPION TAEKWONDO!

It's awesome to watch your kid grow into a ninja. Maybe one day he will, but then again, maybe he won't. Good times and great exercise nonetheless. Great leaening experience. The teachers are very nice and very patient. It feels like they want the kids to succeed.

My son Andrew started as a β€œlittle tiger” at 5 years old. We thought coming here would be a great way to burn up some of his energy and provide him some structure, discipline and focus. Over a decade later, we’re still here. The little tiger is now a 4th degree blackbelt and a Master at age 15. Master Kim has helped him become more than just a martial artist, but an instructor and role model. After a decade here, he still enjoys all that they get to learn and do. Master Kim
Really cares about his students, brings in great instructors and guest instructors to include former gold medalists.

A great place to start a Martial Arts journey.

Master Kim always great with the kids. My kids love going each week and we find this very beneficial for them. They are getting good exercise as well as meeting new friends. Not to mention they have fun learning new moves and becoming more for themselves. Kids will be in black belt soon and they really enjoyed this journey.

My son loves going to World Champion TKD. He's been going for a little over a year and his confidence and focus has greatly improved. Master Kim cares about his students and itreats my son like fanily. He is very personable and wonderful with the kids. Master Jung is amazing too (and their helpers). We also had my son's birthday there and it was awesome. The kids had such a great time. Such a stand out place. Glad we found it. Very highly recommended

My son loves coming to Taekwondo twice a week. We were referred by a former teacher of my son. Master Kim and his staff have been absolutely amazing with the children and ensure that they are not only learning proper technique, but that they are having fun! They care about you as a person as if you were family. Master Kim always asks how my family is doing, creating a culture of care for his clients. I highly recommend for anyone looking for an amazing Taekwondo place for themselves and or their children!

As someone who has quite a bit of experience with martial arts schools, I have to say this one is great. My son loves it! They have multiple instructors walking through each class to make sure everyone is catching on and not falling behind. They do in-class corrections on form and it is such a good high-energy environment! I love that they separate classes by belt. This way, you don’t have higher ranks being held back when new student come in and new students are not thrown to the wolves and have a good experience with the right amount of attention so they can grow. A very important thing here - the instructors are patient and willing to work with everyone. 10/10 would recommend.

Absolutely Amazing!!! My son has been going here for almost a year and we truly love it! It is clean, safe, and the staff is truly caring. My son is excited to go every week and he has learned so much.

Before starting, he was bouncy and scatterbrained. Now he’s learning focus and balance. His teacher even noticed a different in his behavior just a month after starting at World Champion Taekwondo.

We are grateful and happy with our decision to start and continue his path.

My daughter loves World Champion Tae Kwon Do! Master Kim and Master G (and all of the other instructors) are great with the kids! They motivate them with positive and constructive feedback and truly care about them on a personal level. I appreciate the emphasis on home behavior and family dynamics, teaching the students to be respectful and disciplined. This along with body control and strength make a great combo in my daughter’s development.
I can’t thank them enough for the time and energy they have put into my daughter’s training!

My son started Taekwondo when he was 3 years old . He is now 5 years old and still enjoying and looking forward to his twice a week training with Master Kim and Master G. They are excellent instructors that truly cares about their students. They even sent my son a birthday video greeting during this pandemic. My wife and I highly recommend this place. πŸ‘πŸ‘Š

I cannot express how wonderful World Champion TKD is. Walking in we were a little nervous because we didn't know what to expect. My four children and I love it!! It helps them gain confidence they didn't have before. It's always wonderful to connect with each person in there. Feels very welcoming like you're one big happy family. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for my children here as we continue to learn TKD. A+++++ in our book!

Master Kim and Master G are the best! And their helpers too! I love this school also because it helps with home good behavior! This is a really good idea combining taekwando practice with home behavior, responsibilities and respect family members!

This place is the best around here... when I started looking for an after school activity for my son I visited at least 3 places ... by far World Champion Tae Kwon Do is the most professional, discipline, friendly etc by far... my son want to come everyday to the class... in a short time I have seen a big improvement and also he is learning very well to channel his energy ... this discipline is body, mind and spirit ...very complete for every kid and also for adults.... all the teachers are excellent and they really care about their classmates... I highly recommend this place :)

I just went here for a birthday party, the experience was absolutely amazing. It was fun yet structured! All of the instructors are absolutely amazing with the kids (I had a 1.5 year old and 4.5 year old)... They were hands on and got both of my kids involved including myself. Teaching them focus, listening skills and respect!

We were also impressed by the birthday girls slightly older brother who attends this taekwondo location and how respectful and attentive he was. Birthday girl just turned 4 and he must have been either 6 or 7. Amazing.

We've had just the best experience with the Little Tiger class. Master Kim and Instructor Danny are GREAT with the kids! I can't emphasize this point enough. They manage to wrangle a group of 3-4 year olds every day, developing their minds and physicality, while keeping it fun!

I enrolled my daughter in world champion, and while I can say that the school provides a nice positive environment for kids, I do think there are some things that prospective students or their parents should be aware of before signing up or even taking the first class.

First the good: Master Kim is a very skilled fighter and a good leader. His assistant Daniel is great with kids and a positive role model. The place is always clean, fun, and safe. They also have a yearly Christmas party which is a lot of fun for the kids. Black belts earned through this school are accredited by the World Taekwondo Federation.

My biggest issue with World Champion was the opacity of the pricing; the costs are not really laid out upfront and increase as time goes on, so I hope to educate any prospective clients as to how pricing works.

My daughter signed up for two classes per week, and it costs about $150 per month. This breaks down to just under $20 per class.

They only accept payment in the form of electronic checks and require you to sign a contract that states that you will give two months notice before canceling the service. Although this practice may be necessary to some extent to encourage long-term commitment, I do believe it is something that customers should know ahead of time before being put on the spot. Also, they sometimes offer a free uniform if you join, but an enrollment fee is assessed with is equal to the value of the uniform.

Belt testing fees are assessed. You can expect to spend about $70 every two-three months, or however long belt advancement takes. The small childrens' program, Little Tigers, however, does not assess belt testing fees.

Finally, there are equipment and uniform costs as time goes on. Students will be expected, by the time they're at orange belt level, to purchase sparring equipment, which IIRC costs about $200-300. The costs seem to ratchet up and you seem to be given no choice but to pay them, or lose the investment in classes made thus far.

As an experienced practitioner of martial arts myself, I was a bit disappointed to find that the curriculum wasn't more inspiring. The kids didn't seem to be learning how to fight or defend themselves (I don't even believe self-defense is a stated goal of this program), it seems like it's gymnastics with a bit of light contact.This is find, if that's what you want for your children. But I would advise anyone against going into this program with the expectation of learning effective fighting techniques.

This Place Is good because the Grand Master is an Olympic Coach so I think he knows what is he knows what he is doing plus not only learning he helps with home behavior so yea if your good you get a Black star plus you can get trophies if you you have 7 black stars!

Can't say enough good things about this place. My kids were attending an ATA school for Taekwondo in Plainfield and I felt like I was just paying for their belts, they didn't really have to "earn" it. Not the case here, the kids have to actually do the work, show focus, respect and do the forms properly to earn their belts. The parents also get a say, so if their home behavior is bad, no promotion to move on to their next belt with out parent approval.
