    Among many sport classes that I registered my son, becoming a member at Jung Ko Taekwondo Academy was by far the best decision we made. My son, Daniel, who was five when started one year ago, developed a strong love of Taekwondo and even recently took part in a tournament which boosted his confidence. Masters are great and they know how to teach these very challenging skills to kids of all ages. I strongly suggest this class to anyone looking to choose a sport for their little ones.

    Jung Ko Taekwondo has been around since I was a kid. Now my own children go there and they absolutely love it. All the staff are very kind, friendly and hard working. They are all clearly very experienced. Not only are my children enjoying every class, they are learning discipline and hard work all while exercising and keeping healthy. I really appreciate that the classes are flexible so we can change our schedules in the week if need be. I'd recommend Jung Ko TKD to anyone.

    My son has been doing TKD for just over a year now. When he first started, he was nervous but this was the only place where he felt comfortable enough to participate in the trial lesson. Since then he’s progressed well and has enjoyed his time. The instructors are great and the flexibility of the schedule makes it easy for parents to accommodate.

    The instructors at Jung Ko TKD balance tradition and discipline, as well as warmth and encouragement. They are approachable and willing to accommodate families with scheduling, etc to make the classes work. We really enjoy seeing our kids grow in their skills and confidence while training here.

    Dear Master Ko, As a parent, there is no greater joy than watching your child grow and develop into a confident, disciplined, and resilient individual. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to you for the invaluable role you’ve played in shaping my son’s character through your Taekwondo class. Since my son joined your class, I have witnessed a remarkable transformation in him. Your teachings extend far beyond martial arts techniques; they instill values that will serve him well throughout his life. The discipline he has gained, the respect he shows to others, and the perseverance he demonstrates are a testament to your exceptional guidance. Your ability to inspire young minds is truly remarkable. My son looks up to you not only as a martial arts instructor but as a role model. Your patience in teaching him the art of Taekwondo, your dedication to his progress, and your unwavering support have had a profound impact on his self-esteem and confidence. I want to express my deepest appreciation for the positive influence you’ve had on my son’s life. Your commitment to his growth as both a martial artist and a responsible young person is evident in every class he attends. You have given him a sense of purpose and a strong foundation on which he can build a successful future. I am excited to continue witnessing my son’s journey under your expert guidance, and I am confident that the lessons he learns in your Taekwondo class will benefit him for years to come. Thank you, Master Ko, for being a mentor, teacher, and role model for my son. With immense gratitude, Alishahdad

    Amazing school. My daughters enrolled in Sept 2021 and want to continue through the year, even though the older one is engaged in competitive swimming and varsity volleyball. I asked if she wanted to drop this and they both said NO! The instructors are amazing, they know how to connect with the students, and keep them engaged while delivering the right skills, discipline, and love of the sport. Very happy we signed with them!

    My children’s confidence levels and athleticism have soared since they started taking classes here. They look forward to seeing the instructors for every class because they make learning fun. The school was also able to seamlessly transfer to an online platform during the pandemic and the care taken into cleaning and distancing for the in-person classes was well-thought out. I have and will continue to recommend this for students of all ages.

    Jung Ko TKD has wonderful caring teachers who combines TKD with fun making my kids interested in attending weekly classes. All the masters and instructors are super caring and everyone has fun in class. You can see that the masters and instructors loves what they do. It also helps enhance confidence in the kids. A wonderful school. I'm glad that l made the decision to enroll my 2 kids in Jung Ko.

    Jung Ko is an amazing taekwondo school. When I was first introduced to taekwondo, I wasn't exactly sure whether I would enjoy it. Since then, I have thoroughly enjoyed taekwondo. The instructors there are great teachers, and teach taekwondo on a level like no other. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone who is interested in doing taekwondo.

  • 4/5 Marsha C. 3 years ago on Google
    The kids are liking their online classes. They have also been able to advance in their belts. I think they would have preferred a broader range of general fitness exercises in addition to rope skipping.

  • 5/5 Mary P. 1 year ago on Google
    We decided to try Jung Ko for a 3 month trial as it was nearby. Boy did we luck out that we found an amazing place for our son to learn taekwondo, and have renewed his membership for a second year! The instructors are all kind, patient and encouraging. Grandmaster Ko is hands-on involved in every day instructions while he allows the other masters and instructors to take the lead. We feel welcomed and are happy here.

  • 5/5 Elsa C. 11 months ago on Google
    We all love to have TKD lesson at Jung Ko. We have been here over two years already! The stuff and instructors are amazing! And the environment is also really clean as well! The best TKD in North York!!

    My 6 year old son was never interested in taewondo until he learned from Jungko! All the staff here are very friendly and professional. My son loves the class here and seems like he will learn from here for a long time :)

  • 5/5 Abdul L. 3 years ago on Google
    I have been taking my 4YO son for 3 months here. Excellent job in teaching taekwondo. Masters are Very professional as well as friendly. They make the kid feel comfortable and wanting to return every class. They encourage the students.

  • 5/5 Yuijin H. 1 year ago on Google
    Our daughter and son has been going to this Taekwondo for over 4 months now, and it's been absolutely fantastic! The master to student ratio is excellent, and every one of them shows amazing care to the students, and passion for what they do. As a result, our kids gained increased confidence, and most importantly, they enjoy going to Taekwondo classes here! Highly recommended!

    The best Taekwondo club experience. It's not like any other. High class, Professional, Olympic level, and a very loving environment (like family). Many world champions have been made there, and are still being made there.

  • 5/5 Ilana R. 1 year ago on Google
    Words simply cannot do justice to the type of review we'd like to leave for Master Jung Ko Taekwondo and the facility as a whole. We attended the March break camp session that just passed and all three of our young children loved it to pieces. Our daughter, who is 5, typically has a fear of being away from mom and dad, but to our surprise, she was already excited from the night before, to attend. When we came to pick our children up at the end of each day, we had a hard time convincing them to come home with us! All the children were well-taken care of, the organization and programming was creative, thoughtful, and engaging. Master Jung Ko is a wonderful person and as a mother, I couldn't feel safer leaving my kids in his, and his facility's care for the day. He is kind, patient and an amazing instructor. Thank you🙏 We will be back!

  • 5/5 Avigayil B. 1 year ago on Google
    Feeling impressed and grateful after our impromptu visit today. Master Ko took the time to talk with us and work with my son to help him feel comfortable. Looking forward to returning.

  • 5/5 Jenny L. 1 year ago on Google
    My now 5 years old son joined Jung Ko Taekwondo in March this year. He loves it and we come here 3 times a week. All masters, instructors and receptionist are very friendly and patient. I can see improvements in his motor skills and his focus and concentration skills. Special thanks to Master Jung, my son’s favorite Master! Definitely would recommend this Taekwondo school to everyone! 😍

  • 5/5 R L. 2 years ago on Google
    My daughter has been attending classes at Jung Ko for more than 1 year and she's grown to love Taekwondo, and to respect the structure and the discipline offered by it. The teachers at Jung Ko are professional and extremely good with younger kids. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Edward L. 3 years ago on Google
    This is a great taekwondo school and my children really look forward to coming here. The instructors are amazing and very engaging with the students and they make the experience fun especially for the younger students. They have also made a number of changes during this pandemic by limiting class sizes, following guidelines for COVID and also offering online classes as well.

    My son started learning Taekwondo 6 months ago. Over the months I have seen tremendous growth in terms of focus, discipline and confidence. Enrolling him here was the best decision as it keeps him active both physically and mentally and also teaches him an essential skill. The instructors are amazing and very focused on the student’s development. Special thanks to Grandmaster Ko for his tips and encouragement.

    The program at Jung Ko Taekwondo Academy is excellent in every sense of the term. It offers lots of flexibility to families, kids can progress at their own pace, the coaches and staff are always very helpful, and Grandmaster Jung Ko’s frequent presence surely keeps all kids engaged and on their toes. Best place around to have your kid involved with.
