About Us | Martial Arts school in Raleigh | Master Chang's Martial Arts

I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT AND CONFUSING
FINDING A MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOL CAN BE.

I remember when I was child, feeling uncertainty about beginning martial arts. I wondered if I had what it took to succeed and I wasn’t the most athletic or confident child - quite the opposite. Little did I know that beginning my martial arts journey would be one of the most profound experiences of my life!

When I opened my school in 2009, I made a commitment to serving and empowering the community of Raleigh, Cary, Durham, & Chapel Hill by teaching children and adults the confidence, leadership and fitness skills that can only be achieved through martial arts.

FUN, EXCITEMENT & PREPARATION: STUDENTS & PARENTS LOVE MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENTS!

One of the most fun parts of martial arts training is the ability to test your skills by competing in a tournament. Tournaments are not only fun for competitors, but they also become a great social experience for parents as well!

From sparring to forms to team demos, these awesome competitions are not only a place where our students can test their skills, but also a place where team spirit is built, fears are overcome, and character is developed. Most importantly, they are tons of fun!

One more reason you will love martial arts at Master Chang's Martial Arts!

Great place! I can't say enough good things about Master Chang's programs.

Leigh Anne Scalise Bianchi

Brilliant program: fun, motivating, great exercise! Wonderful instructors; highly recommended!

Melle Ferre

As a parent, I aspire to be my child's greatest teacher. I believe that I am, however sometimes you meet an individual who is both a great teacher and role model. I truly believe that knowledge is not what you know but rather the recognition of you do not know. I am proud to have found Master Pak and Master Lee to assist me in filling in the gaps of life teaching. Gam-sa-hom-nee-da.

My three sons and I all practice TaeKwonDo together at Master Chang's Martial Arts in Chapel Hill. The Masters are superb role models and a great inspiration to all of us. I love that we've found an activity that we can all do together - it's the perfect blend of fun, discipline and a good work out. And a really great group of families and kids that keep us motivated to reach our black belt goal!

Overall, it has been an excellent experience. The instructors are enthusiastic, motivate students with positive feedback, and make corrections firmly but gently. Compared to the 2 previous schools I attended when I tried taekwondo before, this school has the best instructors and never before have I stayed with a school this long (we've been there about 2 and a half years). The best benefit of this particular school is their flexibility with the class schedule and that my husband and two kids attend class with me. We work out as a whole family. I highly recommend trying it, especially with your whole family.

My son Elijah has loved going here so much he never wants to miss a class. So much good character teaching happens here. My son's confidence keeps improving and he is learning great leadership skills and he's also gotten very good at tae kwon do! Master Yoo and Master Jung are amazing! They are fun and excellent instructors that care so much about what they do.

We have been so happy with our son’s transformation since starting lessons with Master Chang’s! Master Yoo at the Durham location has a gift with the young kids that is amazing!!

Love it to the highest high! I was wanting my teenager to do Martial Arts as he is going to be a freshman this year, and I thought it would be effective in boosting his (already strong) self-confidence, as he is going to be facing more complex, more mature, decisions in life, and I just want him to be prepared. Well, lo and behold, it didn't take long for my second son to follow suit. They practice almost as soon as we come back home after each class, and one of them already told me, 'Mom, TKD is probably my destiny.' Kudos to Master Yoo and Master Jung! Seriously efficient, but gentle and hilarious to a point. I totally entrust my kids to them and am assured they learn not only TKD skills but lasting values as well. Ten points!!!

MCMA has been a wonderful experience for our family, we couldn’t recommend more.

Doug Wixted

We love Master Chang's Martial Arts. We have been bringing my daughter for about 7-8 months. There are several classes available per week which is important as my work schedule is highly variable. My daughter loves the instructors. They are supportive, funny, and energetic. We have been very pleased with our experience.

Alexandra Fischell Fitzgerald

Cary

My son has been taking lessons for about a year and I have seen wonderful changes in him. He is a typical 7 year old boy with too much energy and they have taught him discipline and respect as well as amazing martial arts skills. All of the masters are wonderful and they make him feel like a part of the family. His grades have also improved due to his improved discipline and confidence. Highly recommend this school!

Amy Mayer Mitlitsky

We love the instructors and workers. They are super great with kids and so patient. We just had a birthday party there and we cannot believe all the attention and work that they put into making sure that my daughter’s party would be the best one yet.

Quan Trieu Kirk

Master Chang’s is the best! We love doing taekwondo here because all of the teachers are kind, supportive and caring while helping students excel in school, at home, and in their communities.

Kristi Benson Davis

The birthday party was absolutely phenomenal. From a steady stream of help from the staff ensuring everything is taken care of upon arrival to a stunning demonstration of martial arts and making sure that every participant felt included and proud of their abilities, I HIGHLY recommend MCMA.

Blair Holloway Cuneo

My daughter is now 4, she has been going to the Durham location since April of this year and really has enjoyed it. She has so much fun and has learned to focus her attention and be confident on top of learning some skills she can use as she grows. Master Yoo has fun with the kids as well as teaching them how to defend themselves and be strong.

Van Chuong Hornbeck

Chapel Hill

We just had a birthday party here (today) and they were amazing. I mean, it was really, really amazing. Such a good experience I reviewed it the day of the party!. I was nervous about having two parties going on at once but it was a well-oiled machine and every kid there, ages 3-7, had a BLAST. All the parents were shocked, too. Well, well worth every penny paid.
