From the reviews

If you are seeking a total fitness opportunity that addresses the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—Tonchu is the place for you. I began in December 2014 and have advanced to my green belt, mostly under Head Instructor Stephen Chun at the Vinings location.

★★★★★ — Gretchen, Dec 2015

My ten-year-old son's growing in TAEKWONDO has been a huge shining light this past year. Master Chun and Master Woodson are exceptional with the children. Discipline. Respect. Achievement with clear and relentless criteria and expectations. Friendships. TAEKWONDO is a group, yet individual sport.

★★★★★ — Anne, Jan 2021

In the world of grade inflation, "everyone gets a trophy," and lowered expectations, this center is a glimmer of light. The teachers are demanding, call on the students to make sure they are paying attention, are not afraid of reprimanding poor performance while guiding for proper techniques.

★★★★★ — Anne, Aug 2020

My daughter started taking classes at Tonchu Vinings before her 4th birthday. We are still taking classes 2 years later. The instructors are so patient with children. Really unbelievable . . . like child whisperers! It is so nice to have another authority figure for your children to look up to and aspire to be like.

Your first BJJ class at TONCHU Martial Arts Vinings

Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
