Learn from a Korean Master Who Gets It
Master Mingyu Choe understands the pressures teens face today. His approach builds real strength - physical, mental, and emotional.
“Teenagers need more than techniques - they need to understand their own strength and learn to carry themselves with quiet confidence. That's what real martial arts teaches.”
Master's Teen Training Philosophy:
- Respect through earned achievement, not forced compliance
- Challenge students to exceed their own expectations
- Build mental toughness for life's real challenges
- Develop leadership through mentoring younger students

These aren't paid testimonials - they're real teens from South Windsor schools
16 years old
Richmond High School
I was getting picked on at school and felt pretty weak. After a year at KYU Taekwondo, I'm not just physically stronger - I carry myself differently. People treat me with respect now, and I've never had to use the techniques in a fight because my confidence stops problems before they start.

Hawkesbury High School
Taekwondo has made me mentally tougher. When I'm stressed about exams or social drama, the meditation and breathing techniques Master Mingyu taught us actually help. Plus I'm in the best shape of my life and I love the community here.
17 years old
Windsor High School
I'm applying for university next year and my leadership experience here has been huge for my applications. I help teach the kids classes and it's taught me responsibility and communication skills. The discipline from Taekwondo has helped my grades too.

Master Kyu is an excellent teacher - all 3 of the kids love going to training. Master Kyu is very committed to teaching all the taekwondo skills and they have grown in confidence and fitness. The classes are always fun, different and really enjoyable. Kids are smiling and happy and learning so much. Highly recommend Kyu Taekwondo.

STOP!!!!! You have found yours or your child's Tae Kwon Do club. Master Kyu and his team are easily the best instructors in Sydney. My son (6) attends and loves it!

Kyu Taekwondo is an amazing place to train. I have been training under Master Kyu for around two years, and words cannot describe how much I have grown because of his efforts. Master Kyu and all the other instructors really put 110% into each class.
