DO YOU WANT TO BE EXCELLENT INTELLIGENT POWERFUL BEAUTIFUL CONFIDENT ACCOMPLISHED RESPECTFUL FOCUSED

Where to begin... I started attending Asheville Sun Soo back in August. I had originally gone in for my orientation almost a year and a half prior, but I let fear sway me out of following through (you know the whole "starting something new" and "what if I look like an idiot?" kind of fear). The itch to go never left, and I finally sucked up it up and joined this summer. I can honestly say that it's been one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself. The students and teachers have quickly earned a place in my heart. Not only is the school true to the discipline, but it's also a community, a giant family, and not to mention a killer workout. All of the instructors are incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and so, so skilled at meeting all students where they're at. One of my most favorite things about Sun Soo is how the essence of community is embedded into their curriculum-- even though the school is large with many students (adults as "old" as 80 and kids as young as 3) you have the opportunity to get to know and connect with everyone. Even if you're a complete newbie, you are included as if you're a seasoned student. I could say so many things about the palpable integrity, discipline, and care that is Asheville Sun Soo, but I'll let you feel it for yourself, because you will the second you walk through the doors.

I started my own practice here two years ago as a 40-year-old, after decades of wanting to learn a martial art, and years of watching Sun Soo grow and develop in Asheville. The moment I gave myself permission to go for it and begin was a pivot point in my life. While I love the physical nature of the practice - the fitness benefits are wide and large - it is the precise and focused instruction from the staff that has most directly affected my life. Learning how to kick well is cool, but learning how to live well is immeasurable. I have no doubt that each and every one of the staff, as well as my fellow practitioners, want the absolute best for me in all things. The intention, integrity and inspiration in the school is deep. Now, practicing with my wife and four kids as well, I am proud to give to and receive from this school and this practice.

Sun Soo is awesome! We have a 5 year old and have been attending classes twice each week for a few months now. The classes and belt progression is extremely well thought out and very conducive for motivating and keeping a child's interest as well as teaching them valuable life skills both mentally and physically. I have seen growth in our child's coordination, attention span and sense of pride. All of the teachers at Sun Soo are wonderful. They are consistent and dedicated. We have just been so impressed and we are so glad to be a part of the Sun Soo family!

I can’t say enough about the positive environment created by Grand Master Morris and his whole team. It is more than a Tae Kwon Do studio, it is a loving and supportive community. From the youngest students to the most advanced, you are treated with kindness and are encouraged to work hard and have fun in the process. I would highly recommend Asheville Sun Soo!!! Hope to see you there.

Sun Soo has been a life-saver for my son. I am forever thankful to the staff there for creating such a warm and welcoming environment where he has learned how to regain his self-confidence and positive self-esteem. As an educator, I work to replicate the high energy and enthusiasm exhibited by Master Morris and his staff. I joined to improve my fitness and spend time with my son. I have found the studio to be one of the most diverse communities in Asheville. What a wonderful place.

My two boys practice at Asheville Sun Soo and have been practicing here for over two years. There are many Tae Kwon Do schools to practice but Asheville Sun Soo is hands down the absolute best in WNC. The family atmosphere embodies the saying it takes a village to raise a child. There are so many parents that attend and practice with their children. It is a small community where everyone becomes a family member. The staff are awesome and have a team of instructors that are extremely knowledgeable and very detail oriented. They challenge their students to do their best and succeed each and every time. I have recommended Asheville Sun Soo to several friends and continue to recommend to anyone wishing to learn true self defense.
