My 4-year-old son has been practicing Taekwondo at Master Ji’s since he turned 3, and this summer he attended three weeks of their summer camp. It was such an amazing experience! He had so much fun every day, but what impressed me the most was how much he grew physically, emotionally, and socially in such a short time.
He came out of camp more confident, disciplined, and mature—truly ready to begin kindergarten. I’m so grateful to Master Ji and his wonderful team for creating such a positive and nurturing environment where kids can thrive. Highly recommend!
Thank you Master Ji!

We can’t say enough good things about Master JI’s. 3 of our boys have been in his classes and we’ve seen the best changes you could ask for in your children. Watching them learn, be challenged, and grow into themselves with the principles he teaches is worth every penny. If I could go back I’d start them younger!

I can’t say enough great things about Master Ji’s program. My daughter has been in the toddler class, the kids get one on one coaches as well as Master Ji’s oversight. The creative mix of activities for the kids with a healthy dose of TKD keeps their energy and attention perfectly. It seems every class is different but structured the same so the kids know what to expect and learn without even knowing it! This is a must for every kid to try!

Hace un año mi esposo y yo estábamos indecisos en inscribir a nuestros hijos con Master Ji. Crei que sería un poco difícil para mi niño de 6 años ya que presentaba síntomas del TDH. Pensamos que no iba ser fácil concentrarse en las clases me sorprendió Su respuesta fue mejor de lo que pense a ellos les gusta y los motiva día a día a salir adelante ellos están creciendo y poco a poco avanzando.

This place is AMAZING!!!! Kids and Adults learn traditional martial arts along with lots of respect, discipline and love. Great no matter what your age or skills, in fact it suits both the athletic and non-athletic.....Master Ji artfully combines Taekwondo with so many life lessons, his dedication to teach the sport and his caring for people are unmatched anywhere!!!!!!
We have been going to his dojang now for 11 years, first my Grandson, then Daughter, then Grandma (got my black belt at 60 years young). It has truly become our second family....and most recently got a wonderful Son-in-Law my daughter met while kicking pads!!!!

I’ve recently returned to Master Ji’s TKD after being gone for almost 5 years. I was nervous of returning after being gone so long but Master Ji gave me the encouragement I needed to take that step and I am very happy with that decision. Master Ji is a very kind person, who is extremely humble and always teaches to help us understand. Taking TKD as an adult can be very challenging and discouraging at times but he really helps us do our best and to test ourselves. This is not an easy class but will leave class feeling fantastic after a great workout knowing you’re doing something that’s hard but rewarding. I would recommend Master Ji’s TKD for the entire family. Come check it out, you won’t regret it.

Been taking my son for almost a year now in the little kid class, I’m enjoying seeing him and the others grow and move up in belt colors. The black belt instructors are helpful to all the kids and make sure they are in the right track. A place where the kids are in charge of their progression and learning if they want to move up they have to honor their own hard work and learn that the next belt is not a free pass.

I first started at Master Ji’s when I was in high school. That time i was overweight and couldn’t even do 1 pushup, but I stuck with it and endured Master Ji’s strict training, and now I am almost a black belt, in great shape, can do many pushups, not to mention spinning kicks, poomsaes (structured forms), have great cardio, and be able to fight. 🥋

My son basically grew up at Master Ji’s TKD. He started in 2014 when he was 6 yrs old. Master Ji has helped turn Jackson into a fine young man, has kept him out of trouble and kept him fit. He has learned to respect all, and is still learning to defend himself. Always learning something new. When he earned his Jr black belt, Master Ji invited him to be an assistant to help with other classes. He has a great program for assistance and instructors, allowing students to get paid, as a scholarship. There are all sorts of teams to join, some are training to be in the Olympics!
Jackson is now a second-degree black belt and training for his third.
I have watched all these years, and I finally I am able to go myself. I am 59 years old, and in pretty decent shape, And I have to say, it is a good workout! It’s harder than it looks. I am very much enjoying adult class. There are 13 to 75-year-olds, in this class. If you’re looking for a challenging workout, and to learn self-defense, Master Ji Is a great place to start!

I would highly recommend signing up to learn Taekwondo with Master Ji. I am 16 years old and have been going to Master Ji’s Taekwondo for the past 10 (almost 11) years. When I first started, I wasn’t really into it because it’s my parents rule that I have to be in a sport, and this is the one I chose. I was incredibly scared of sparing; I was kicked and punched very hard, and I cried, A LOT. But if there’s one thing that Master Ji taught me, it’s that persistence is key. I kept going, despite hating it at times, and I got better and better at it; improving over time. I always made it my goal to earn the next belt, and kept that up until I earned my 1st degree black belt in 2021. After that I started helping Master Ji teach the color belts as an assistant. I began going 4 days a week, and I improved even more with the extra practice. I earned my 2nd degree black belt in 2023 and became an instructor for a short amount of time. It was incredibly stressful, but it taught me leadership, and most of all, patience. Overall, my experience at Master Ji’s Taekwondo has taught me some of the most important life lessons and morals; Persistence, Respect, Patience, Honesty, and how to be a Leader. He taught me that hard work pays off, and you have no idea just how right he is. Master Ji’s teaching style isn’t for everyone, he’s very strict at times and takes his job seriously. But you’ll never know if you like it until you try it.

Our journey with Master Ji started early 2021 when we relocated from California to Monroe. My daughter, 9 at the time, had been doing Taekwondo for a few years in LA and Master Ji started her at Purple belt. She has since reached Junior Black Belt and will hopefully be testing for her black belt in July.
Last year, I joined the class myself at age 42 in an effort to keep my daughter motivated as she was close to quitting. If you are looking to sign up your children at this school, I can promise that the journey to black belt will not be easy. Over the course of the last 3 years I've seen this school grow immensely, but I've also seen children and adults drop like flies. This is not a bad thing, training here is taken serious for adults and children alike. You WILL get hurt, but you will always learn from it. Master Ji is an amazing instructor. He has found a balance way to teach Taekwondo to train body, spirit and mind alike. I strongly suggest that as a parent you come here with an open mind. Master Ji will most likely drill into them basics of being good humans that are not taught in some households. If you can't handle that, save your money. I've seen plenty of parents pull their kids out of this school because their kids aren't getting a 12th place trophy. That's not how things work here, however, they will learn valuable lessons that can carry on throughout the rest of their lives, such as losing isn't a bad thing but a means to learn and improve. This school also offers opportunities to compete for aspiring athletes. They also offer spring and summer camps as well as the occasional "parents night out fun sleepovers".
As an adult I can honestly say I've thought about quitting several times. At age 43 your body doesn't function the same anymore. I've potentially broken a rib, hurt my arm and my lower back, but I keep coming back because the rewards definitely outshine the fallbacks.
I 100% recommend this school. At the very least try.

I started at this school in spring 2017. I needed a place to workout. I talked to the owner/teacher, Master ji, and we set something up. Over time I can say this place is the real deal. The tests are never a guarantee pass, so there are no handouts. Everything hurts but it’s always worth it.
I have enjoyed being at this school.

Our son started attending here last year and has absolutely loved it! Master Ji has been amazing with guiding all of his students to not only learn the martial art, but to become better human beings. His teaching and guidance has helped our child better understand respect for himself and others. I truly appreciate that he truly cares about teaching the skills and does not focus too heavily on belt promotions. He gives the children the opportunity to recognize their own abilities and to better improve them internally and from the higher belts.
My personal favorite is his style of teaching classes. He has volunteer black belts to help with each class with the mindset of preparing color belts for more advanced techniques. My son has loved being given the opportunity to ask for help and get questions answered directly by the black belts. In addition to the regular classes, Master Ji allows and encourages students to partake in private lessons to improve.

Master Ji is an amazing instructor who genuinely cares and wants his students to grow, not only as martial artists, but as humans. He teaches the kids about discipline and respect and makes it an expectation to learn from their mistakes. My wife and I wanted a way to get our son off of the screen and learn to control his emotions and body, so we enrolled him hoping to just get him to try it. It turned out our son fell in love with the martial art and is now competing in tournaments and dislikes missing classes. He now comes 6 days a week voluntarily and my wife and I couldn’t be more happy with the results.

There are a lot of fantastic assistants/instructors in the classes, so I know my kids will get the one-on-one time that they need to feel confident.

It’s hard to write a quick review on something I have such strong deeply rooted feelings on. 3 of my 4 sons have trained with Master Ji & his team of blackbelts for many years now, with my youngest son learning from the sidelines. The knowledge & experience through training & practice grows daily. Moreover the confidence they earn through facing fears in a safe environment where each athlete is guided & molded by coaches who pay attention to the individuals. There’s so much good that comes from this place which all starts with Master Ji himself. He’s always there pouring into the students. My boys look up to him & have a respectful fear of him. Master Ji knows all his students by name & shows care for them individually. There really is so much more I could praise but I’ll stop here by saying if you’re considering it for your kids or yourself just show up! He offers 2 classes free so there’s nothing to loose yet so much to gain!!

We signed our 3 sons (ages 6, 10 and 11) up for the class in March 2021 and they have been attending regularly ever since. They love it so much! Master Ji takes the time to connect with the students and encourage good behavior and the importance of responsibility at home. There are so many classes and opportunities for the kids to go as fast or slow as they are comfortable with. We are a multiple sport family and we never thought our kids would enjoy this as much as they do but the level of discipline that Master Ji requires has helped them so much outside of Taekwondo. Highly recommend this gym!!!

I don't think anyone would argue with the analysis that I'm an... interesting... individual. Master Ji and his school, however, is not only a place I feel comfortable to be myself, but also a place that still succeeds in teaching me despite my... quirkiness.
Master Ji is a kind hearted man who only wants to see you succeed, but one unwilling to let you take the easy way. His teachings not only create strong black belts, but also strong and kind adults. I could not suggest a better place.

I have known Master Ji since he first came to America from Korea. At the time, he knew very little English, yet persisted in taking classes to learn our language, so that he could eventually pass along his lifetime of knowledge to his students. I was working nights delivering papers, so I felt that I needed to know self defense. After years of successfully attending classes elsewhere, I joined Master Ji's school in Monroe and, ever since, the training has fundamentally changed my viewpoint of attaining personsl goals, self improvement, even my outlook on life and people around me. His training has proven that I can attain personal goals I didn't think likely, even possible. It has fostered, through mental and physical development, a sense of confidence that has led to an inner calm disposition and overall happiness!
This successful formula is simple: working as hard as possible to my personal abilities, having a realistic view of where I am in my training, and committing to my improvement on a consistent basis. Master Ji provides the instruction and motivation, but continually reminds us that it IS up to us to do the work to make these goals a reality. This honest, realistic approach has made difficult training understandable as the most direct way of becoming the student and person that I am working to become. Though I continually discover how much more that I need to.learn, I am immensely happy with the student that I've become, and happily drive the 32+ miles from Ballard to Monroe to get this instruction. At 62 years old, I intend to continue this training as long as I physically am able, and I believe this training has extended this deadline past its natural course. Master Ji is the main factor why I've continued practicing taekwondo uninterrupted these past 24 years.

A family experience. My husband and 2 children have attended Master Ji’s School of Taekwondo a year and a half. I love how he pushes them to do their best. He does it in such a respectful way that the kids respond to him, want to do better. They have been moving quickly through belts and he has jumped through every hoop to keep the Dojo open with every restriction mandate in place putting the student’s safety first! I’m so proud to be part of this family.

Attending Master Ji and just being around him is all about respect and having fun. My boy has been inspired to grow and treat others with respect.
We consider Master Ji to be the perfect fit for families looking value-centered & based training for children. His teachings reinforce what we encourage at home and having back up is key for us.

I joined this dojang when I was 21.
I had been having issues with confidence and depression. I needed something to help right some stuff about myself that didn't feel right. Getting into a daily workout regiment, sparing, and cardio multiple times a day. It helped me build that confidence and pull myself out of my hole.
Master Ji has since treated me like his little brother; very patient, understanding, wise, and kind. He's always made time for me in the school and in life.
Meeting Master Ji quite literally changed the course of my life for the positive and steered me from a far worse place.
It's been 9 years, even though I work a full time job, and live 30 miles away, I long for the days to go back to when I lived nearby. I try to still attend every week or so.
Come join the school, I can't promise you will go through the same personal experience. But, it's worth trying right?

My son and I both joined Master Ji’s Taekwondo. My son has gained confidence and is becoming more and more coordinated with each class. Master Ji does an amazing job with continuing to help each individual improve physically and mentally by challenging us to see what is possible and not get complacent or stagnant in our training. I would highly recommend this school for the whole family!

Master ji is a great teacher because he actually cares about his students. My grandson has been going there for 5 years and loves it. You can't find a better place to go where your child has fun as they learn discipline and respect for themselves and others.

My son has been attending taekwondo classes at Master Ji's for over two years now. Our family has been so impressed with Master Ji and how he runs his school. My son, who is 7 now, has learned discipline and that hard work pays off. Master Ji recognizes my son is not overly athletic and pushes him to so his very best. He also tests him based upon knowing HE is doing HIS personal best. Master Ji always has Black Belt assistants and co-instructors but make sure the kids are doing what is appropriate for their own level (color belt) and they correct form, to make sure the students are doing everything correctly! Enrolling our son in Master Ji's Taekwondo was the best thing we have done for our him. He has confidence, discipline and respect for his family/peers. We can't wait to enroll our daughter when she is old enough 😊 Seriously though, I cannot say enough good things about Master Ji. He is firm and pushes kids to be the best version of themselves all while creating a level of respect and admiration. Don't worry he has a fun side too!

I joined Master Ji’s around March of 2020 and I can’t tell you how life changing this has been for me. He makes you work hard but in the end I have learned more than I ever thought I could. I’m 64 years old and he has taught me never to give up!!

My daughter started attending Master Ji’s Taekwondo school 3.5 years ago. Our hope was to help stop the bullying she was dealing with at school- to give her a much needed confidence boost. What she got was so much more! As she worked her way up through the belts, she learned how to be a good human. She learned to work hard, be a welcoming face to any new student, focus, and push through the “I can’ts”. Master Ji taught her these things, along with the black belts that assist him. They are some of the best role models for young people. My daughter earned her black belt in June! Master Ji teaches not just the techniques of Taekwondo, but also the philosophy. This inspired me to sign up and I received my junior black belt earlier this year. When you take class with Master Ji and his instructors, you will learn a lot about self defense, the art of poomsae, the philosophy of Taekwondo, and you will gain a lot of wisdom in the process. The dojang has become a second home for my daughter and I. I highly recommend Master Ji’s dojang to anyone looking to build confidence, gain health, and find peace of mind.

I entered Master Ji’s TKD 11 years ago when my daughter started to have sassy attitude. She turned 18 years old today and is one of instructors there. Master ji has strengthen both of my kids physically and mentally. They have learned countless important life skills such as self discipline, patience, leadership and how to respect others from Master ji. Master Ji cares genuinely about the kids and you can see his passions easily through his consistent hard work. He started Zoom online lessons before any other TKD schools around here when school had to be closed during the pandemic. He follows the guidelines and goes above and beyond to make sure his students are safe to come to his school. I would not put my kids to any other martial arts school. Master Ji and his community are huge part of who my kids are today and am I can not be any more proud. We are so lucky to have Master Ji in Monroe.

We love going to Master Ji’s Tae Kwon Do. He is a very good teacher and role model for the kids and the adults alike. My very shy daughter has learned not only martial arts, but has gained self-confidence, improved discipline at home and understands the meaning of respect thanks to his classes and his wonderful instructors. My daughter is proud of each achievement and knows that he celebrates them with her.
He is a very honest and genuine person. He makes you feel like your opinion is valued, you are not just there to fill a spot in the class. There is never a feeling that he is rushing through belt tests, or putting undue pressure on the students to try to test without knowing that they have worked hard and earned it they need belt.
Each student is valued. It is obvious he cares very much for his students and wishes to inspire them to be the best versions of themselves and he cares very much for our little community.

My kids have been doing TKD with Master Ji for 4 years and I would never find a place that would compare. The time and dedication Master Ji as well as all the Assistants take to help every person person get to their potential is amazing! The students definitely become family! They all stand up for each-other in and out of the gym!
