    My son has started taking classes and is a green belt now. After training for 8 years at another TaeKwonDo School, I have been thoroughly impressed with the instruction and dedication that Mr. Baker and his instructors have for the students here. After I have seen the tenants being taught and used more often by my son, I have returned to taking classes as well from Mr. Baker. The School promotes inclusion and equality in all things. I would recommend this TaeKwonDo School too any parent that wants thier child or children to become better versions of themselves.

    As a parent, finding the right extracurricular activity for your child can be a challenge—you want something that teaches discipline, builds confidence, keeps them active, and most importantly, is taught by people you can trust. I can say without hesitation that enrolling our child at Virginia TaeKwonDo and Jiu-Jitsu Academy has exceeded all our expectations and more. From the very first visit, we were impressed by the warm, professional atmosphere. The staff was welcoming and took the time to explain the programs, how classes are structured, and what kind of growth we could expect to see—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. They weren’t just selling a program; they were inviting us into a community. The instructors here are truly outstanding. They’re not only experts in martial arts, but also exceptional teachers and role models. They know how to engage kids, hold their attention, and earn their respect in a way that feels both firm and encouraging. Our child looks forward to every class, talks about the instructors constantly, and is always eager to show us what they've learned. One of the most powerful changes we’ve seen since starting is in our child’s confidence and focus. They've become more respectful at home, more attentive in school, and take real pride in working toward their goals—whether that’s earning a new belt or just showing up and doing their best. The lessons go far beyond kicking and punching. They're learning resilience, self-control, and how to set and achieve goals. The facility itself is fantastic—clean, safe, and well-organized. There's plenty of space for training, and safety is clearly a top priority. We also love that there's plenty of seating for parents to observe, and the environment is just as welcoming for families as it is for students. Although our child is the one enrolled, we’ve come to feel like part of the academy as well. It’s clear that this isn’t just a business—it’s a place where families are supported and kids are mentored. We’ve also met other parents who feel the same way, and that sense of community makes a huge difference. If you’re a parent looking for a program that will help your child grow stronger, more confident, and more respectful—while also having a lot of fun—Virginia TaeKwonDo and Jiu-Jitsu Academy is the place to go. We’re so glad we found them and can’t recommend them highly enough.

    As soon as you walk in, you will feel the positive energy and good vibes. Great instructors, great staff, friendly classmates. As the saying goes, “Learn how to fight so you don’t have to be in fights.” The most important belt is your white belt. I can’t say enough good things about Virginia TaeKwonDo Academy in Chesapeake! The facility is spotless and well-maintained, creating a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. The instructors are incredibly friendly and patient, especially with kids, making it a perfect place for beginners and experienced students alike. Parking is convenient, which makes visiting even easier. Highly recommend this place! Avoid regrets, head over there, sign up, enjoy the journey.

    Virginia TaeKwonDo & Jiu-Jitsu Academy Review My son has been attending Virginia TaeKwonDo & Jiu-Jitsu Academy for less than a year, and it has been an incredible experience for him. Being smaller than his peers, team sports have always been a challenge, but martial arts has given him a place where he can thrive. He trains twice a week (Monday and Saturday) and has already moved up to a yellow belt. He takes pride in tying his belt himself, and it’s clear he genuinely wants to do well. One of the best parts is how the discipline and respect taught in class are carrying over at home—his little brother has already started mimicking his “yes sirs.” I’m hoping to enroll them both when his brother is old enough. Mr. Baker is fantastic with the kids. He keeps things fun, making them laugh, but also holds them accountable and ensures they’re learning. If you’re looking for a martial arts academy that builds confidence, discipline, and skills in a supportive environment, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

    Virginia TaeKwonDo & Jiu-Jitsu Academy: A Life-Changing Experience Joining Virginia TaeKwonDo & Jiu-Jitsu Academy has been a game-changer for my son and our family. We've been here for over three years now, and I've seen my son blossom into a more disciplined, confident, and respectful young man. It's incredible to watch him grow, not just in martial arts skills but also in character. Mr. Baker, the head instructor, is truly one of a kind. His passion for teaching and his dedication to empowering the kids is evident in every class. He doesn't just teach techniques; he instills values that help shape the students into better citizens. His approach is strict and challenging, yet encouraging, pushing the kids to never give up and always strive for their best. The high standards Mr. Baker sets might seem tough at first, but they are definitely achievable with effort and persistence. This environment has taught my son the importance of perseverance, which is a lesson he'll carry with him for life. One of the unexpected joys of joining the academy has been the sense of community. We've made lifelong friends here, both my son and I. The camaraderie among the students and parents creates such a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. It's like having a second family. Before finding Mr. Baker's academy, we tried out other places, but none of them came close to the experience we’ve had here. The Virginia TaeKwonDo & Jiu-Jitsu Academy is hands down one of the best things in the Chesapeake community. If you're looking for a place where your child can grow, learn, and make amazing friends, I can't recommend this academy enough.
