Deborah Layton

I would absolutely recommend BBI to any student looking to learn Taekwondo in a positive and engaging learning environment. My daughter loves it!

Anna Tkach

Mandi Marie Logan

We love black belt! My son is delayed in gross motor skills, and I was looking for an activity that would help him with these skills, help him get his energy out and that he would enjoy. He loves it! He started when he was 3, and he completed all the little Musa classes and belts. He is now 7 and just graduated to a solid green belt. The instructor has such a great bond with my son and really makes him work for his belts. He does a private lesson with him once a week to reinforce the skills he learned in class. He has some attention and behavior issues but Master cho works well with him to work hard. He pushes respect, self-control, disobedience, and integrity. I would recommend this facility to anyone interested! They have done so much for our family

Outstanding Martial Arts school! We found BBI several years ago. From the moment my daughter stepped through the door at BBI, she was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Master Cho is not only highly skilled, but also incredibly patient and dedicated to helping each student reach their full potential. The camaraderie among fellow students creates a supportive and motivating environment, making each session enjoyable and challenging. I highly recommend BBI. My daughter has loved her time there. We have watched her grow and blossom into a confident young woman, ready to take on the world. Her father and I are more confident about sending her out into that world as a 2nd-degree black belt. Thank you, Master Cho.

Alison White

My son has thoroughly enjoyed his martial arts training at Black Belt Institute over the last 4 months. Master Cho provides a balance of structure and order to the multi-level class while also being approachable, kind, and playful. Having students of different belt levels in the same class has been motivating for my son to learn new skills, and Master Cho does an amazing job at teaching for all the different levels while also creating a cohesive class that keeps all students engaged.

My daughter joined the BBI program as a white belt. The program is excellent, as the kids learn discipline, patience, respect, and self-defense. They also emphasize confidence throughout the program by teaching kids to speak up, perform, and present in front of a class full of kids. Always reminding them to be confident in life. Master Cho and his assistant instructors work really well with the kids. Master Cho has found the perfect balance between being strict and commanding with a soft and playful touch, which is the perfect tone for the kids to learn from and have fun while doing so. I highly recommend BBI.
