“I love teaching
taekwondo because it’s very good for developing discipline, confidence and
respect in children,” Owasso Instructor Mincheol Sohn says. “Most children
today are weaker than past generations because they haven’t experienced many
hardships. Our education is very traditional, so it can make children’s minds
stronger.”

Students of Golden Dragon—not
just kids, but adults too— have nothing but positive things to say about their
experiences so far. Bill Wilson says, “Think Olympic style taekwondo mixed with
Crossfit, which is the new health and fitness craze. That is what you get at
Golden Dragon TKD. You will learn the martial art and have the stamina to
perform it if you ever need to. Also, where else teaches an actual Olympic
sport and fully expects some of its students to be contenders for the U.S.
National Taekwondo team. You won’t find that anywhere else around here. This is
true Korean Taekwondo, and there is a difference.”

Another new taekwondo devotee,
Weston Horn, says, “My wife and I joined Golden Dragon (Owasso) a couple months
ago without knowing what to expect. We attended a class just to try it out, and
after the first class we were hooked. The first day of class we were nervous
about feeling out of place, but instantly we were met with a great atmosphere
where the instructor, Mincheol Sohn, makes you feel like family. You can tell
that the Golden Dragon staff really does care about you as an individual and
wants you to be happy and healthy.

“My wife and I have seen a
huge improvement in not only our physical shape, but it has also made our
relationship stronger. The training is second to none and when you are done
with class, you feel like you have pushed yourself and really accomplished something.
Working together through the training with my wife has built a lot of teamwork
and given us something we can do and talk about together. I hands down
recommend anyone to come in and try it out!”
