Calgary Chung Do Kwan — Martial Arts

My son has been attending the Calgary Chung Do Kwan martial arts program for a couple of months now, and overall, we’ve had a positive experience. The instructors, like Mark, are very engaged and take the time to ensure that each child understands the techniques. My son, who is quite active, has really enjoyed learning self-defense skills in a fun and supportive environment. One of the highlights was when he built his own practice target during a creative project session, which he was very proud of. However, I found the pickup times to be a bit crowded, which made it hard to navigate through the other parents and kids. Still, I believe the structured environment and focus on personal growth make this program worthwhile, especially for young children looking to build confidence and discipline.

I enrolled my 6-year-old son in the Calgary Chung Do Kwan martial arts class, and overall, we had a solid experience. The instructor, Mike, was very engaging and took the time to connect with each child, which helped to keep them focused. My son built confidence through various drills and learned some basic self-defense moves without the emphasis on competition, which was a relief for me. However, I did notice that the pickup lines were quite long, sometimes causing a bit of frustration after class. The small group size was a definite plus, allowing for personalized attention. I appreciate that the program promotes discipline and fitness in a non-stressful environment. I would recommend this program to other parents, but maybe arrive a bit early for pickup.
