Sun soo has been the best thing for my son. He has gone from shy and timid in class to a natural leader. He continues to grow with each class he takes and is now on his way to test for his yellow belt. I cannot wait to see what his future holds here!

This martial arts program is phenomenal! I just had the privilege of attending their Testing demonstration and I could feel the connection and confidence all of the students had as they showed what they learned. It was inspiring to watch them advance to the next level. It is a Cadillac program and worth your consideration if you or your child wants to grow personally.

Our son has been attending the after school program, summer camp, and weekly practice in Tae Kwon Do. He is challenged, respected, and part of a family. His experience, knowledge, and growth in an extraordinary atmosphere shows up daily in everything he does. We are all lucky to have Sun Soo in our beautiful Mountain location of Asheville!

I started practicing here in March and I have been having an amazing time in a safe, educational, supportive, and fun environment. I highly recommend Sun Soo for anyone looking to start out their martial arts journey. The instructors are knowledgeable and experienced, but also friendly and patient with beginners like myself. I'm learning something new every day, not only from the instructors but also from fellow students in class. I am very grateful to have found such a positive and encouraging place!

My six yr old grandson started classes last Fall. It's been amazing to watch him grow not only in his martial arts skills, but in his character and confidence. This summer he attended their summer camp with every week offering more stories of adventures and new friendships made. I really appreciate their focus on offering kids opportunities to learn new things. He's playing chess now, and clearly I need to practice :-)Sun Soo offers an encouraging and positive environment committed to helping each other become the best version of themselves.

My partner and I both practice at Sun Soo. I started last Summer and immediately found it one of the most welcoming, diverse and community oriented martial arts schools I have ever encountered. Grandmaster Morris has done an amazing job creating a space for for adults and kids alike. The instructors are knowledgeable and skilled at teaching all levels of taekwondo. Though Sun Soo larger than other schools I have trained in, I always feel like I get individual attention when needed. It's been a foundational part of my self care. I love Sun Soo!

My daughter and I are new to Asheville and struggled when we first got here. I am a firm believer that it takes village to raise a child. Thankfully, I have found a village in Sun soo. She has attended the aftercare and summer programs. The staff has treated us like family and supported us in ways, that would have made this transition impossible without them. My daughter looks forward to going there everyday if nowhere else. I cannot thank them enough. 10 out of 10 would recommend for any child/family looking for a safe place to grow, interact and learn with other kids and have an extended family with the adult counselors.

We had a wonderful week of camp at Sun Soo. Our 6yr old loved all of the activities and the staff couldn’t have been better. In addition to martial arts instruction, they established the core Tae Kwon Do principles of caring and respect for yourself and others, self-discipline, and focus. They also did a variety of arts and crafts projects, had swimming days outdoors at a local creek, and even had a bookmobile come visit for some reading. This was our first experience with Sun Soo and martial arts in general, and we could not have been happier with how things went.

Sun Soo is an incredible martial arts school. The instructor's are all black belts and very eager to grow, and share what they know with others who are learning. My grandson is very happy with the institution and comraderey between all members.
