Sunrise Taekwondo & Afterschool in Chicopee

I have both my boys attending Taekwondo lessons here and they love it. My kids don’t have behavioral issues but needed an avenue to have activity that’s safe and teaches discipline, focus and respect. Since going there they have been making great improvement at home and interaction with other kids. They are more aware of being helpful and supportive with peers. I would definitely recommend Sunrise to anyone. The kids there are great and the staff is invested in each child that attends.

The owner and his son are amazing instructors and very professional and patient with my boys guiding them through the early stages of learning the discipline of martial arts and teaching respect, perseverance, humility, self control, and Honesty.

Started here with my 4yr old about 4 months ago, he absolutely loves it, to say they are particularly good with kids is an understatement! I started going myself a few weeks ago, I have already caught the bug, the adult class is a supportive and confidence building experience. I can't recommend Sunrise more, if you have been thinking about learning a martial art, especially one that emphasizes physical excellence as well as mental health, give Master Kim a call!

Grandmaster Kim and Instructor Ian are wonderful teachers who do a great job with classes for both kids and adults. Really a wonderful place to take Taekwondo classes. They are teaching social skills as well as self defense skills in a friendly and supportive environment that I highly recommend to any family that is looking for a good place to learn and grow. They also have a great group of high belts who support the younger students and those just beginning their Taekwondo experience. It's great to have a place that is supportive of kids of all skill sets and ages.

My son has been attending for a month. I love the passion and structure they have here. Master Kim is beyond excellent with the kids of all ages. He has so much patience and had their best interest at heart. Not only do they teach taekwondo but he also send home a form to see how the kids are doing at home. If the kids are having a hard time he talks to them about the importance of being respectful and helping and how to effectively communicate with their parents. You will not be disappointed to come join. My son is a white belt and with great guidance will be going for his belt test next month.

I decided to enroll my 2 boys into the class, the best decision ever! The class with master Kim and coach Ian has been really good for them, they have improved their organization at home, they listen at the first time -most of the times-, they have improved their notes at school, and at class the work out they do is really good for their body-brain development. There environment is very friendly and easy going but with discipline at the same time, very well balanced! Now have been some months and I decide to join the Sunrise team too, now I train in some classes for adults and sometimes in the family class when I Can particle with my kids. The instructors are very nice and kind with the children, is a class I highly recommend to anybody, is a huge help for us as parents to raise up our children with love respect care determination and humility .

Our son (8) has been attending Sunrise Taekwondo since November, and has loved it since day one. Grandmaster Kim and Instructor Ian are incredibly dedicated to their students, and take great interest their success with not only Taekwondo, but also their academics and personal behavior both at home and school. They have high expectations for their students across all aspects of their lives, and encourage them to live up to those expectations. Taekwondo is teaching our son how to use his energy constructively, while also helping him with his focus and mindfulness. We would absolutely recommend Sunrise Taekwondo to any parents looking to get their child into a physical activity that promotes the positive development of their physical, intellectual, and emotional wellbeing.

For nearly 2 years or two sons have been attending classes with grandmaster Kim and instructor Ian. It’s been an all around wonderful experience. The classes are taught with high expectations in a great, nurturing learning environment. The skills, your children will learn will also transfer to home and the classroom - respect, discipline, effort. Highly recommend.
