It's hard to imagine a better martial arts school for kids or adults. My two boys attend, and have loved it from day one. The teachers are uniformly wonderful...just the right balance of tough and tender, stern and funny. They are demanding of the kids without ever overdoing it. They teach strength and skill and speed, but never without an emphasis on respect and responsibility and compassion. What a place!
all the instructors are courteous and respectful as they teach your children valuable life lessons through Taekwondo. they even have teenage instructors! what talent!. the only teacher i don't care for is a Mr Korami i think it was, but the rest are all fantastic!
The instructors and students create a friendly environment that is perfect for learning tae-kwon-do.
The instructors of Yong Studios treat children with a lot of respect. It helps children to develop confidence in themselves and responsibility.
The teachers are very professional, caring and disciplined, and as such they instill these qualities in their students. They also have interesting exercises that make use of taught skills, which makes training exciting and fun!
All the instructors are highly accomplished, knowledgeable, encouraging, friendly, and very supportive of each student. The studio provides a wonderful culture for learning not only the art itself, but also more about oneself.
The quality of the teaching is excellent. It is a very serious and professional studio. At the same time, the approach is very personal making the learning process adequate to your own specific needs. Yong Studios is the best place to learn martial arts that I have never experienced.
Yong Studios has great instructors who create a positive learning environment for both people new to or familiar with martial arts. The best instructor there is Mr. K. He is the coolest and most awesome of all the instructors.
Children of all ages (some as young as 4!) pay attention and listen and learn and try their best. The classes are fun. It's inspiring.
Supportive, friendly, fun instructors and a nice group of students makes Yong Studios a great place to work out and learn martial arts.
Martial arts should be about more than moves and kicks. At Yong Studios, all the instructors are committed to the philosophy as well, teaching kids about self-control, respect and honesty. And the kids have lots of fun too!
Rare is the instructor who inspires simply by his presence, let alone his example. Yong Studios is blessed with two such gifted instructors, and the most dedicated group of students I could ever ask to learn with.
They are the most kid focused studio in the DC area. They not only teach martial arts but give the kids a sense of personal worth, well being and confidence and they instill in the children respect for not only each other but everyone.
Yong Studios is the best, period. Master Kim & his staff are devoted to Martial Arts. The outcome is awesome, why, my 13 year old daughter is a black belt student. She teaches lower belt students on Wednesday. They call her Ms. "P".
The instruction is excellent and personal; each instructor knows every student by name which is impressive in such a large group. Also, the actual lessons are shorter (50 minutes) than many schools, but more intense. There is constant activity and then you can also work out afterwards.
The school has some of the best instructors in that area. The school has a very friendly and family oriented environment.
Yong studios provides the right level of support and challenge for children through adults. At the graduation ceremonies, you can see how proud the students are of their achievements. I also happen to think the forms are very beautiful to watch.

Great balance between discipline and true care for the children! The children are taught to respect the masters and the dojo, but the classes are also taught with a sense of humor and the children have fun.
I've tried several different martial arts studios and Yong Studios is the best. What makes them the best? Concern and attention to each student, regardless of their level. A warm and welcoming environment combined with excellent teaching. I've studied under higher belts, including a 9th degree Grand Master, but Yong Studios is where I feel like they accept me as I am and will work with me to help me achieve my highest level attainable. I highly recommend it.
Very personable instructors, friendly environment, yet challenging and unique classes
My children having been attending Yong Studios for nearly 5 years. I am familiar with several other studios in the area, as well as numerous other athletic programs for children. This studio is unparalleled in its high quality, student-focused approach. The instructors truly know and care about each student. It has an almost community-like feeling to it, rather than just being a money-maker for the owner and teachers. I cannot say enough about Mr. Kim (the owner) -- he is one of the finest teachers of any kind I have ever know.
Master Kim is unique in his ability to convey and command respect among his students and parents of his students. Master Kim lives what he teaches and passionately believes everything he teaches.
Yong Studios has excellent instructors and there is the feeling that this is an acutal "school" that cares about your progress as a student, and not just your monthly payment as a customer. I feel that you must actually earn your black belt here, which is not true of many other schools.
Each instructor offers unique advice and training. They are genuine in their dedication to see you learn and enjoy martial arts. Not only are all the students also dedicated to TaeKwonDo, but they're also very considerate and friendly, which makes Yong Studios an ideal learning environment.
My son says it's because the teachers are really good and the whole thing is all out great. I love it because the kids are really focused and working hard, but also having fun. They're learning a skill and no one tells them they're doing great unless they really are - I LOVE that!
