Cannot recommend highly enough! My son and I started practicing here when we moved to Seattle in 2014. The dojang has become a center for our family. It has improved my son's coordination, confidence, and joy in life. Mine too. I was nervous the first time I watched my kid put on the padding to (lightly) spar with other students, and VERY nervous the first time I did it myself. However, every moment has been safely, carefully supervised with clear communication, proper gear, and true expertise and care. Owner and Lead Instructor Ms. Perrin is a multi black belt master teacher with endless tricks up her sleeve to reach both kids and adults. She teaches just about all the classes herself. Supportive environment yet rigorous. Lots of classes in the schedule. Easy location. Wonderful part of Seattle!

Ms. Perrin is a fantastic teacher and does a really good job at running the school. The other instructors are all really knowledgeable and helpful. There is a lot of different options in terms of classes you can take (general classes, forms, sparring, etc.), and I'd say it's accessible to all ages and abilities. In addition, Ms. Perrin keeps things interesting with special events and challenges from time to time. As a bonus, everyone JHK is really welcoming and I'm so glad I get to be part of this fantastic community. Absolutely recommend if you are looking for a great place to do taekwondo!

I have been a member of the institute since December 2016 (coming up to one-and-a-half years). Before beginning taekwondo I had practiced another form of martial arts for around six years during my early to mid-20s. My experience at the JHK Institute has been rather pleasant and fulfilling so far. I wish I could come to more sessions per week but as a graduate student my schedule gets insane pretty often. However, I always look forward to coming to the sessions. All of the instructors are great. Ms Perrin, the head instructor, is very professional yet very approachable, very knowledgeable, and is also focused on the details of the techniques and moves we do on the floor. She also gives very good and timely feedback. In my opinion Ms Perrin is super legit. This is also a very professionally run school (which is not what I can say of many other taekwondo or even other martial arts centers) that is also located in a great neighbourhood. Looking forward to spending more time at JHK Institute!

Terrible things happened to me at this school. A few months after a fighting match here, I lost most of my neck mobility for a long period of time (along with many other terrifying symptoms). During a falling class, Mr. Park calls me a "cheater", "fraud" and added just as aggressively at the end of class, "what's the matter, you can't roll?" During a Friday night sparring class, before a match with Alice, he made a big deal about light contact. After the match, he got really mad at me. He shot me a nasty look and said, "I said light contact." I did try to use control and light contact with Alice so his anger was inexplicable. After that, he called JT to fight me in the next match without giving us any safety cues (For the record, I verified with this JT later that Mr. Park never gave us any safety cues). When JT finally got me, he kicked out my thigh through with full power, driving the back of my head, neck, shoulder, and back area straight into the ground. At the end of class, Park gave a lesson about the dangers of sparring when you don't go easy on each other and concluded with a callous remark about what JT did to me that night, indicating that he thinks I deserved to get hurt. He had a satisfied, spiteful look on his face when he mentioned me falling on the back of my head, like it gave him the highest gratification. I ended up with a concussion and a very severe and debilitating neck injury. I went to see many specialists for this injury and it took years to recover. I complained to the head instructor shortly after the incident, but she twisted everything I said regarding Mr. Park's behavior. She also had a witness with her and was writing everything down in her notes (this witness was not present in any of the above classes that I mentioned here).

Iâ€™ve been going to the JHK dojang for almost 2 years now and itâ€™s been an amazing experience. Through the school, Iâ€™ve met wonderful new friends, gained many new skills and am in the best shape of my life, both in terms of flexibility and strength. Iâ€™ve also been extremely impressed by Ms. Perrinâ€™s teaching abilities. Over time, she gains a deep understanding of what drives each of her students and is able to teach in such a way that each student responds well. She can push students hard if thatâ€™s what they respond to, or let them progress at their own pace. She also takes the time to work with individuals in class and critique technique in order to help the studentsâ€™ progress in skill and keep them safe. Her individualistic teaching style is very helpful and helped keep me interested in a form of exercise where almost everything else has bored me. Highly recommended.
