Enrolling our son in this program has been one of the best decisions we made. Master Chang has been a tremendous positive influence in his life from age 5 to now 18. Not only did he learn the sport and essential self defense techniques, he gained confidence, respect, discipline, leadership skills, an amazing work ethic, friendships, and a passion for fitness and strength training which will undoubtedly carry him through life.
Master Chang reminds the kids to “earn their pillow” by working hard towards a daily goal.
Very powerful. The opportunity to attend USTA was one of the best gifts we could have given our son. Thank you USTA and congratulations on your continued success!

I have twins girls, 8 years old. They couldn’t be more different. One is completely extroverted with tons of energy and the other is super shy and easily embarrassed by attention. This program has brought out the best in both my girls - allowing my one daughter to exude her energy & gain discipline and has brought major confidence to my other daughter. Master Chang’s patience & determination with them and all the other children is admirable and definitely setting high standards within my kids to be confident, respectful and disciplined. Watching them learn self defense and actually apply it is comforting to a parent. You are in GREAT hands with Master Chang and all his black belts who assist. We love this place!

Our son as participated in class for almost 2 years. He loves class and has a great time. As parents, we have noticed his coordination has improved. Master Chang is amazing with the kids. They respect him and are enthusiastic about learning. I have recommended 3 other families and after trying the class, they joined. I highly recommend the U. S. Taekwondo Academy.

One of my sons is now entering college and has just returned as a student again due to his wonderful experience when he was younger. Master Chang is an ultimate professional, who cares deeply about the well-being of his students, showing them compassion, while providing stellar Taekwondo instruction and teaching discipline. I can't think of anyone or any better Taekwondo school to give my son a fantastic workout, while he continues to gain more confidence in himself and his ability to defend himself if needed. I would recommend Master Chang and the U.S. Taekwondo to anyone!!

By far the best! You feel like family. My son loves to go to class and talk about a confidence builder; you can’t bet how Master C truly cares about his students. The smiles on my son's face after working so hard show how much he takes pride in doing the best he can. Suppose you're looking for a business that cares about your child you need to sign up with TA.

He is very passionate about Taekwondo and ensuring that his students learn to the best of their ability each class. Our son (6 yrs old) currently attends beginner’s Taekwondo class and summer camp. We started with a trial class and we were very impressed with his calm demeanor, expertise, and great interaction with his students. Each Taekwondo class is full (down to the last minute!) of learning and practice in order for students to advance to the next belt level at their own pace. Class is fun and interactive each time. There was not even a second guess for us to sign our son up for summer camp. This is his first time in camp and we felt very confident that this was the right environment for him. He absolutely loves it! They take fun and safe field trips that the kids look forward to each week. We trust Master Chang and know that our son is in good hands during any class/camp activity in which he is involved. In addition to having fun and learning Taekwondo, our son is improving self-confidence and focus each class. We are so thankful to Master Chang and his family for running such a great organization that we plan to be a part of for years to come🙂. Do yourself and your kids a favor and sign up now!!

I am a 50-year-old male. I have always wanted to try martial arts as there were many movies in that genre when I was growing up but as the years progressed, nothing came of it until my wife and I started watching the now famous Cobra Kai TV show. I realize it was entertainment on TV but at the time, COVID had everyone locked down and we were tired of sitting in the house for months on end, so we searched for a class to join.
We found U.S. Taekwondo Academy through a personal recommendation. We met with Master Chang for an initial consultation, and he described the program and asked us what we wanted to achieve. At the time, I weighed 385 pounds, so my primary goal was to lose weight. Master Chang was understanding of our needs and was excited for us to try the program; so, we decided to move forward.
We started at the White belt, as everyone does, and it was hard! I had to take many breaks during exercises and could hardly lift my legs for kicks. I felt depressed but it was Master Chang that was supportive. I suppose he could see the emotions on my face and always said to me, “if you make sure you come to class and give me your all, I promise you, you will feel much better”. So fast forward months later and I cannot wait for the next class! I practice at home, trying to perfect things we were taught in class. I wish there were a 3-day a week option! I have dropped 45 pounds and have progressed a few belts, take fewer breaks, and can kick so high one of Master Chang’s assistants said he was impressed.
Master Chang has instilled a new passion within me. While I still have aches and pains (and you will too if you put in the effort), I still go to class no matter what and put in a 110% every time. Classes are high paced, and action packed. I have decided that this is a long-term commitment for me and aspire to achieve more knowledge of the art. I owe those feelings to Master Chang’s commitment, dedication, support, encouragement, and providing a rewarding environment to those that will put in the effort.
If you are on the fence about joining, I invite you to try it out. The initial consultation and attendance to one class is free where you can kick and punch like the rest of us and decide for yourself. Everyone in our class at U.S. Taekwondo Academy is understanding, welcoming and supportive no matter what the age or knowledge level. Master Chang inspires all of us to support each other in becoming the best we can be.

Master Chang is a wonderful instructor and encourages all of his students to do the best they can while positively encouraging them to improve. We highly recommend US Taekwondo Academy for any age; you will be welcomed with open arms from the start!

Master CJ Chang and Master Julia Chang are incredible instructors and their school follows the Olympic Taekwondo discipline (the best in my opinion). USTA teaches proper stretching, punching, blocking, and kicking techniques but also teaches the importance of respect, loyalty, integrity, confidence, honesty, and self-control. Master CJ Chang and Master Julia Chang are supportive to each and every one of their students and they have made impactful worthwhile changes to myself and my family. Thank you guys so much, our only regret is not joining sooner!

They really know how to interact with their students, making them engaged during class yet having fun at the same time! Now, a little over a year later, my two boys are high yellow belts soon to be testing for their orange. Both locations have done a great job staying connected with their students during this whole pandemic, by offering virtual AND in-person classes! Master Jennifer does a wonderful job making you feel like you’re actually in the class during virtual classes. I’ve even signed myself up for the adult classes and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. They make scheduling for classes easy and they provide form videos (and more) for their students through Zen Planner. So we are always practicing! My boys and I really respect Master Jennifer, Grand Master Chang, and everything USTA stands for. They are truly a wonderful family. From ages 4 to over 60, there’s a spot for everyone at USTA!

We have been so impressed by the classes offered here and the exceptional teaching. Master Chang is absolutely amazing with his students! He is fun, commanding, and brilliant with kids of all ages. I love that they teach kids how to be persistent and do things even when they are hard and that each student can do these things with enough practice! The best Taekwondo dojang around!

Best thing for our kid!

It is sincerely refreshing to see a team that expresses dicipline, compassion, kindness and professionalism and its consistent!!! We travel far to be apart of the academy and truthfully I wouldnt go to anyone else to train my son! U.S.T.A. is the best place to study Taekwondo!!!

We are parents of a student at U.S. Taekwondo Academy (USTA). Our daughter, Juliana has been attending USTA since she was 7 years old, when she was formally introduced to Taekwondo as part of a Girl Scout sponsored demonstration/participation visit at USTA in Bel Air, MD.
Melissa and I were impressed with the class and the instruction on our first visit. Rob has been interested in Taekwondo since childhood and Melissa was impressed with the class and school, and in the focus and dedication of the instructors. Immediately following the demonstration, Melissa and I quickly agreed to enroll Juliana in Taekwondo with U.S. Taekwondo Academy.
As parents, we both feel that building and maintaining strong, positive personal attributes at an early age promotes the continued and lifelong qualities of self-confidence, dedication, and leadership. We wanted to find an avenue for Juliana to build confidence and focus, not only for the challenges of Taekwondo, but to assist her in school and future endeavors.
The school’s founder, Grand Master Se Yong Chang, his son, Master Yong CJ Chang and daughter, Master Youngshin Jennifer Chang Pasion have welcomed us into the USTA family and we are thrilled with Juliana’s Taekwondo progress at USTA. It has inspired the positive qualities we had hoped for, as Juliana continues to excel in Taekwondo, and also in her academics, and in her decision to take up the Viola. In December 2018, Juliana attained “Super Red” belt status and is two belt tests away from a Black Belt, which she will achieve in March, 2019.
The instruction at USTA is precise, focused and disciplined, but with the comfort and realization that these are still children. Master CJ Chang and Master Jennifer are excellent instructors. Lessons are taught with the assistance of younger, black belt instructors who also provide the children with successful role models closer to their age….an important positive reinforcement.
Juliana has competed in officially sponsored Taekwondo regional tournaments. She medaled in competitions for both Forms and Board-breaking, competing against her peers from Maryland and Virginia. Talk about a confidence builder!! Juliana was also accepted on Team Chang, a high-level squad that continues to improve her confidence, skills and mental focus.
We have both told Master Jennifer and Master CJ that we appreciate their strong, positive influence on Juliana. Both Master Jennifer and Master CJ competed as members of Taekwondo teams representing the United States and their place as positive role-models for our daughter is on firm ground. Grand Master Chang, a 9th degree Black Belt, also stays involved in instruction. His experience and expertise combined with his son, daughter and staff provide a wonderful learning environment at USTA.
We also strongly feel that our daughter is positively influenced by seeing a strong, disciplined and successful female role model in Master Jennifer. We have both told Master Jennifer how much Juliana looks up to her, and we see the difference in Juliana when she hears Master Jennifer tell the young girls that they can be “Beautiful, Smart AND Strong”. That positive message to young girls, for us, is a difference maker.
We strongly support and advocate U.S. Taekwondo Academy to adults, children and families who are seeking a warm, yet focused experience in gaining skills in Taekwondo.
Warm Regards,
Melissa and Robert

I Can’t Thank USTA Chang for all they have done for my Grandson Carson Freeman. Carson has been in Taekwondo since he was 5 years old However when his First mentor and Master Left the Baltimore Area Carson decided to take a Break from Taekwondo. He was 12 at the time he is now 16. Carson asked me if he could go back to Taekwondo about 2 Years ago. At first, I was reluctant as there are so many Taekwondo Schools that really don’t care one way or the other about the Student except that they get paid.
Carson has always been a Great Kid, Smart, Polite, Creative, Handsome, Respectful, and just an all-around Great Person…. Yes, I am Bias he is my Grandson after all, however all of this is True.
I was concerned however as Carson didn’t really care for any Sports or Extracurricular Activities except maybe his XBOX. There is nothing wrong with that except no Growing Young Person should only have School and XBOX in their Life. So, I started looking for a Good Taekwondo School where Carson would be Happy, Learn but Learn the Right Way. I not only found a Good School but a GREAT SCHOOL in USTA Chang and a GREAT MASTER & MENTOR in Master CJ Chang.
Carson has Grown so much and in Only the Best way being a Part of USTA CHANG.
I am usually always at Carson’s Classes as I love to watch him Grow in his Sport. I have watched over the last 2 years as Master CJ Chang teaches his Students. Master CJ always takes the time to help each of his students and is always there to help & advise his students. That means so much to a Parent and/or Grandparent as our Young and Growing Children need the kind of Support Master CJ Chang gives them as they find their way into their teen years as well as into Respectful Productive Young Adults.
I am Thrilled I made the decision to choose USTA Chang as the Taekwondo school for my Grandson and would Recommend it to anyone looking for the Best of the Best in Taekwondo Training as well as a Caring School, that sees All their Students and Student’s Families as a Part of their Own Extended Family. Carson certainly sees Master CJ Chang as his Master, Mentor and most importantly his Hyung. For that I am eternally grateful. I know what Master CJ Chang teaches Carson will stay with him throughout his Life!
Thank You USTA Chang and Especially Master CJ Chang. I have put Carson in Your hands and You have not disappointed me.
Sincerely,
Mary Camalier

My 8-year old daughter Libby has been taking Taekwondo at USTA for about two and a half years. She is now one belt away from earning her black belt! When she started, she attended Master Jennifer’s Churchville school, but when she started 2nd grade, she transitioned to the After-School Program at Master Chang’s Main Street school. This program is very well run and incorporates after-school pickup, homework time, snack time, and TKD class time. They also pick a “Star of the Month” and reward a child with a certificate and gift for demonstrating respect, good behavior, and helpfulness, among other things.
In addition to the After-School Program, my daughter is part of Team Chang, which has special training on Fridays and Saturdays at the Main Street school. This training focuses on developing the skills that the athletes need to compete in both local and national tournaments. It pushes the students to new extremes, both physically and mentally. Master Chang, Master Jennifer, and their teaching staff have an amazing ability to motivate the team - they are on the floor working with the students and demonstrating techniques, not sitting on the side-lines. They want the students to be the best-of-the-best. They recognize the strengths and weaknesses of each of their students and have the uncanny ability to get through to the students while taking into account their individual idiosyncrasies.
Our experience at USTA has been amazing and has promoted the evolution of TKD as a “fun thing to do” into a competitive sport for my daughter. Not only does TKD at USTA develop strength, flexibility, and grace, it teaches respect, discipline, honesty, and self defense, all of which are invaluable assets to possess.
Master Chang and his USTA staff are outstanding role models for all their students and are well worth the investment.

I tried putting my son in other programs, but he would get bored or not want to practice. My son has been with the USTA family for a little over a year in the afternoon program. He has never complained or not want to go, in fact, doctor appointments need to be scheduled in the morning so he can get to school and get to USTA in the afternoon. My son has done a 360 in many things with school and home, being in this program! He is more confident and disciplined that he does better in everything he starts.
Thank you Master Chang, Master Julia, Master James, and Master Jennifer for all you do. You make every child feel special, every day!

I originally enrolled my son in the Churchville Academy with Master Jennifer Chang. She brought things out of my son at a young age: confidence, inspiration and determination. I have to say the USTA was there for our family during the hardest of times and continue to be there daily for my son, as role models and positive influences in his life. I consider the USTA instructors, other kids and their parents as part of our "family". I love and respect how they are with all the children. After 6 months of the program, I decided to take my son out of the Y before / after care and enroll him with the US Taekwondo after-school program at the Bel Air school. He has now been with the program almost 3 yrs.
Whenever he is not with his USTA family he is talking about them (Master James) which only reinforces my beliefs in the program. Master Chang, Master Julia, and Master James are amazing. They work daily with all the other children to complete their homework and retain value in their education. The best part of this is that my son always wants to impress his instructors, and in doing so has begun reading (after a long battle with doing so). You will never meet a better group of people to care for the ones you love.
Thank you Master CJ Chang, Master Jennifer, Master Julia, and Master James for all that you do for our kids.
If you ever question spending the money, this is truly and investment in your childs future. The program builds confidence, discipline, respect, friendships, etc. I recommend the USTA to everyone I meet because I STRONGLY believe in the program.

My son has no problems with anyone anymore and not because he has learned "how to fight". My son has learned confidence taught by the best instructors I have ever come accross. Everyone associated with the USTA becomes part of a "family", and from the top down, everyone strives for excellence in all aspects of their lives, not just Tae Kwon Do. I would recommend the USTA for much more than simply learning how to protect yourself. The students are taught a lifestyle based on respect and hard work. I could continue with accolades for the US TaeKwonDo Academy all day, but I think my point has been made.
