Hello, I'm MLB player Shin Soo Choo. My son, Moo Bin, has been diligently training Taekwondo from J.K.Kang's Taekwondo Center since 2009. Unfortunately, due to the trade ( Cincinnati Reds ), we had to leave the school in 2013. I'd like to first thank all the fans in greater Cleveland and all the support from the students and parents from J.K.Kang's Taekwondo Center.

The Knowledge and ability of self-defense is important to everyone, regardless of an individual's age, sex, or size! In 1979, I realized my specialty was in teaching, and I have found great fulfillment in these experiences. I would like to make a difference in people's lives through my knowledge of the art of Taekwondo, and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to my school.
Children benefit both physically and mentally from the training of Taekwondo, all in a safe and fun environment. Physically, Taekwondo promotes strong muscles, improved cardiovascular functioning, increased flexibility and improved coordination. These skills, often attained quickly in children, inspire confidence in the young students.
Adult Taekwondo program strive to help you gain mastery of body and mind through the practice of Taekwondo, whatever your age or fitness level. The training and discipline inspire positive changes in all areas of life. Old habits fade away as motivation to live life more fully increases. One obvious benefit of Taekwondo is achieveing a fit body, slimming down as needed, looking and feeling younger.
If any of these questions apply to you, then Taekwondo is the answer! Statistics show that parents who spend more time with their children have great improvement in each other's lives. Taekwondo is a GREAT family activity where parents and children can learn, sweat, and help each other to achieve the same GOAL!
J.K.Kang's Kickboxing program offers comprehensive striking techniques that involve punches, elbow strikes, knee strikes, and dynamic kicks. It can also be used for effective self defense and integrated effectively into mma training.
In each classes, our trainers will offer detailed explanation/execution of movements, shadow boxing, flow drills, heavy bag work, various forms of plyometric, HIIT(heavy intensity interval training), weight/resistance training, and when a student feels ready, they can even try full contact sparring with protective equipment.

My son has been practicing at J.K.Kang's Taekwondo Center for close to 6 maybe 7 years now, and my daughter for close to 3 years. The management and the care of the teachers have been amazing. I thought once my son reaches black belt, he will be done. Little that I know, he not only wants to continue, but he is asking me if he can stay extra. Recently with the pandemic and everything closing, they found an alternative and encouraged my kids not to give up and continue their training. The teachers get to know the kids personally, and approach each child based on what the child needs, and I can't

My son has been going here for over 1/2 of his life now! He started when he was 3 1/2 and now he's 8 1/2 yrs old. The instructors are amazing and always willing to help. They provide amazing taekwondo physical training and also give the kids little talks now and then about school and home and respectfulness as it applies outside of the training hall. My son is so athletic and attentive and I truly believe that it all started here. He excels in all sports and I have J.K.Kang's to thank for that. They laid the foundation for him to be disciplined both physically and mentally. I can't thank them enough

Hands down, J.K.Kang's is the BEST Tae Kwon Do school in our area! I am a former student of Grandmaster Kang, and earned my first degree black belt in the '90s. Fast forward 20 some years and now all 6 of my children are students at J. K. Kang's (ages 3 - 11) and we now have 1 second degree black belt, 4 first degree black belts, and two in training! We have been at J.K.Kang's for over 5 years now because it is phenomenal. J.K.Kang's has national competitors that are highly trained by Master David and the school is driven on a foundation of integrity, honesty, discipline, and respect. My children

My son and daughter have both been going to JK Kang’s Taekwondo Center since they were in preschool. Now my son is steps away from achieving his second degree black belt and my daughter is working her way towards her black belt after already receiving her Little Tigers BB🥋
The instructors teach them so much more than just the formations and physical abilities to achieve their goals. The mindset that is instilled upon their Taekwondo students is just as important, if not more. Discipline, self respect, honesty, 100% effort and setting goals. I’m so glad we have this place to go to help us

My daughter has taken lessons here for over three years. We live in Parma and drive her there twice a week, every week because of the quality instruction they provide. She gets not only great training, but also life lessons she can use long after her training is over. Master David takes their training very seriously and balances strict instruction with a fun environment extremely effectively. If you are looking for a school that will hand your child a black belt without them earning it or putting any effort into it, you’re probably better off looking elsewhere. However, if you are looking for

My son started Little Tiger Taekwondo training at age 4 and we have been a JK Kang family for 4 years and counting! For a kid who wasn't into soccer, football or baseball and was easily distracted and impatient; this program has really been beneficial. It's amazing to see his progression over the years. Taekwondo training has been the perfect blend of body and mind--encouraging health through exercise and focusing on all the characteristics to make a child a confident, well-rounded person. Master David teaches respect, commitment, hard work, cleanliness, listening skills, Korean vocabulary terms

My son is a student at J.K. Kangs, I think Master David is great with the students, he knows what each students abilities are and gets the most out of each student. It’s not just about teaching Taekwondo, Master David and his staff also teach valuable life lessons helping the students become healthy and successful in life. We often practice these life lessons at home. I can’t believe how many times people have told me, my kids went there and my grandkids went there, and they all had good things to say about J.K. Kangs. My wife and I are both happy with our decision to send our son to J.K. Kangs

Our son has been a student at J.K. Kang's since he was four years old. We plan to enroll our second child as well. I frequently tell Master David that he is helping us to form our child into the person he'll grow up to be. Master David and the other instructors work to instill discipline and respect in the children while challenging them to develop their skills. The lessons are difficult yet fun for the children.

My son started to go to classes in Jan 2019 and we've been coming ever since. We didn't know anything about taekwondo and he's learned so much. The teachers are wonderful with the kids (it's a talent I believe). They keep the kids engaged and smiling but also very much instill discipline and respect. I love it. We're most excited about having his next birthday party here too, since you get to cut the cake with a sword! Also - through the pandemic, they've been super accommodating with live/online sessions - and the place is immaculate. Can't say too many good things.

I've been going to J. K. Kangs for three months with my 6 year old son. I wasn't sure what to expect since I've never done martial arts before. The classes are fun and my son really enjoys it. I like the fact that I can learn alongside him and break a sweat at the same time. I'm really impressed with the instructors and Master David. They've really done a great job keeping it interesting while teaching.

The instructors are professional but not the owner especially when it comes to the $$. There is no honesty or humanity when it comes to $$. The agreement that you sign with JK Kang is not between you and JK Kang because you are signing the agreement with a third party. The owner has no power to cancel your agreement or work something out with you, so you are stuck to the end of your agreement unless you have a Medical notice from a doctor stating that you no longer can take Tae Kwon Do and any physical activities or live 25 miles from JK Kang address as a permanent address.

My son went here for a birthday party and continued to talk about it for weeks to come. Looked into it and signed him up for classes shortly after and I haven't regretted it since! He is somewhat of a reserved little guy so this was the perfect activity to help him gain self-respect for himself as well as others. We also started classes before school started so it was great to meet kids here and realize they are also in school with him!
Master and the assistant instructors are awesome! So patient with the kids and really take the time to explain each move and what they are doing. Belt testing
