"As a parent, I am so grateful for everything Chambliss Tae Kwon Do has done for my children. It's not just the high expectations for the  students. The instructors are top quality. They are supportive, kind,  enthusiastic and fabulous role models. Billy and Stephanie have increased
 their self-confidence. More importantly, they have learned to stick with  it and try their best every time. They have learned that by setting  goals working toward them that they can succeed.  Focus, respect and  responsibility are part of every lesson. I have also enjoyed watching the
 instructors grow and mature as leaders. As an educator, I know how hard  their job is. Their dedication and skill make Chambliss #1. It all starts  with Master Chambliss and his tireless dedication to the sport. I'm  not exactly sure when it happened, but Tae Kwon Do became more than a  sport for Billy and Stephanie. It's family! Thank you so much for all you  do."

Also Chambliss Tae Kwon Do has made myself be proud for what I accomplished.   It has also taught me NOT to be a doormat and that I can act strong.

"I am very grateful to the team at Chambliss for all of their patience and efforts in training my daughter. Her confidence has truly grown during her time with Chambliss which has allowed her to accomplish so much in and out of the studio!"

"Our family loves Chambliss Tae Kwon Do.  It has been an extremely positive experience for our daughter.  The teachers are so kind and yet they expect the best out of the students.  We have watched our daughter grow in self confidence and it truly was great to see the look on her face and hear the joy in her voice when she passed her first belt test.  Thank you all."

"I started karate at the original Champions Sportsplex in 2000 when I
was six. While I was training, my mom would watch the Tae Kwon Do
classes. After about three weeks of karate, I decided to switch to Tae Kwon Do
and I liked it so much more than karate. The things we did for training
were more interesting. In a sport like this, you can always be learning
something no matter how skilled you are. I also made a lot of friends
right away and I improved in a lot of other areas of my life. By
competing in tournaments, I learned how to be a good winner and a good loser,
and how to be respectful toward other coaches and referees, not just in
Tae Kwon Do. I've been at Chambliss Tae Kwon Do for seven years and it
has made a huge difference in my life."

"I am extremely happy that I started Taekwondo here at Chambliss! Right
when I started taking classes, I was a little lonely and I was worried
that I wouldn't succeed. But once when I started to try really hard
like practicing my forms and tried my best at the studio and at
tournaments, I belt tested a little faster, got better at forms and sparring,
became more confident at tournaments, and more independent. I even got a
little bit more flexible! I love Chambliss Taekwondo, and I wish
everybody new about it, because it's such a great place to train and to get
better at probably almost anything!!!!!!!!!!"

"I've been at Chambliss for 2 years now and it's been great!! When I
first started I didn't know anyone and I was kinda' worried that I might
be a little lame. That feeling went away REALLY quickly! One of the best
things about Chambliss is that you belt test when Master Chambliss
thinks that your ready, not just when you want to. So that means you really
have to earn and work hard for your new belt. Chambliss has four
different programs for the older kids, so if you really want to get involved,
you can, and if you have a really busy schedule and may not have time
for a lot of TaeKwonDo, you can do that. And there's adult classes too!
Before I joined, I was a little lonely at school, but getting involved
in a great program like this brought my spirits up, YAY Chambliss!!!!!

"I am proud to say that Chambliss Taekwondo is an important part of my life. It is a sport that not only has great benefits for children but for ADULTS as well! I enjoy the friendly atmosphere of Chambliss TKD and at the teen/adult classes I find encouraging instructors who teach with respect and positive methods no matter if you have been training for 2 weeks or many years. I began at Chambliss quite out of shape and quickly found that it didn't matter, as long as I am willing to push myself and never say "I can't." Stress from work or from daily life seems to melt away during class and I always leave feeling better than I did when I walked in!
So, if you are an adult who thinks you are too old to start training, think again! We can do whatever we put our minds, hearts, and energy into at any age!"

"Chambliss Taekwondo has done so much for me in the past 2 1/2 years. I have gotten much better grades and have much more stamina than ever before.  I've made many new friends and have become stronger. This sport is so much fun to do if you are willing to commit to it. The instructors are so kind and ready at any time to help or teach you  something. I would like to thank everyone at Chambliss for coaching me!"

"When I first started Taekwondo training at Chambliss I noticed it was different than the other sports I was involved in.  The instructors spent extra time helping me learn the basic steps and how to spar with my other classmates.  I have been training at Chambliss for a long time now and I like the space we all have to practice our lessons in.  When I walk by other Taekwondo places I notice how small their floor space is.  I wonder how they can learn all the forms and do sparring in such small places without bumping into one another.  I have fun learning with the friends I have met at Taekwondo.  The moms watch us train and they become friends too.  A third reason I enjoy my Taekwondo training is because the instructors really make me feel that they want me to do well.  They watch my forms and help me improve.  They watch me spar and encourage me to kick more.  One of my favorite things about training at Chambliss is the Wednesday night forms class where we only do forms and the focus is on doing them perfectly.  It has really helped me know my forms and perform them better.  I also like the games we play like the tag game. Chambliss Taekwondo has made me be the best I can be at my age in this martial art and I can see myself as a black belt before I get to middle school."
