This has been a safe and positive return for Lily and we are pleased with all of the safety measures that Grand Master Yoo and team have developed to ensure our kiddos can have class inside in a safe manner.

Ken and Alison M, parents to Lily, age 10

We’re so grateful to have Hong Ik Martial Arts during this period. Participating in classes gives our girls a sense of normalcy with all the changes happening around them.

I really love the effort and thoughtfulness put into keeping the kids safe. The kids are safely spread out but are still capable of training together and supporting one another, helping to foster critical socialization skills.

I also appreciate the time and dedication of the team to work with our daughters through challenging maneuvers. That type of encouragement has helped strengthen their focus and continues to build their confidence, both important skills that they carry over into other aspects of their lives, like school. Plus, our girls are just having fun as they’re continuing to advance in their skills and techniques!

Tanya and Nick I, parents of Delilah (age 7) and Atessa (age 6)

It has been great for the children to return to class. It’s been very safe and they are happy to be back! Thank you for your effort and dedication to make it a safe and positive environment for everyone!

Yaquelin R, mom to Emanuel (age 9) and Mauricio (age 6)

The dojang is very clean and I feel it is safe for my child to attend classes at Hong Ik while unable to have other indoor activities. It is the discipline that the teachers and staff maintain here that makes a big difference to make us parents comfortable to send their kids here.

We cannot thank you enough Hong Ik of Tarrytown!

-Anisha B (mom to Neel, age 10)

I just would like to go on record to say that the first day back at the Dojang was so well planned out, and a lot of planning for the safety of the students, parents and Masters was outstanding. A lot of thought went into the design and execution. I thank you all.

Carl Haggerty, grandfather to Angelica (age 11)

WE ARE OPEN!

Thank you for everything you and everyone else at Hong Ik Martial Arts are doing to make us feel safe. I am amazed at how much Reece has learned in the last few weeks we have returned to class!

We are very cautious and only see a few others outside our immediate family and even then we are social distancing and wearing a mask when we aren’t at least 6 feet apart. So to say that we feel safe means a lot.

Joanna Besana, mom to Reece, age 8

What parents are saying about a safe return to class:

We were so excited when I got the email announcing that HIMA would be resuming classes - offering a glimpse of normalcy after a very unusual and isolated spring. We both feel very comfortable with the safety protocols for both indoor and outdoor classes.

Even more than that, I love that through participation in Tae Kwon Do at Hong Ik, my son's development is supported on so many levels: physically, mentally, even emotionally and spiritually. It truly "checks all the boxes", and contributes to a more complete sense of self for my son, especially in these uncertain times. On days that he goes to class, he just seems more grounded.

I am so grateful to HIMA for providing the stability, continuity, and mind-body connection that our children desperately need.

With sincere appreciation,

Heidi Venezia, mom to Ryder, age 8

“Hong Ik Martial Arts in Bronxville has been the only constant in these recent, uncertain times. They have shown dedication to their students and families in their practices and teachings via zoom and outdoor classes when everything else has been closed. Master Oh has inspired a positive and calm attitude for the children. This has helped maintain physical and mental wellness for the students.

Since their indoor re-opening of the dojang, Hong Ik has taken all safety measures possible such as social distancing detection devices that provide students with over 9ft distances between students, sanitation of common areas and limited capacity classes. Hong Ik has been a saving grace!”

Kristiana Andrews, mom to Ella, age 11

"I have not seen any other commercial establishment display such level of safety measures. Separation and safety precautions are practiced in a serious and professional manner. As an architect who designs many public assembly spaces, Hong Ik is a great case study of how social distancing is positively implemented to maintain a safe and healthy environment."

Richard Gonzalez, student and father to student Lucas, age 8

"Being part of Hong Ik Martial Arts of Bronxville means being part of the Hong Ik family and there is a wonderful sense of community in Bronxville, that extends to the broader Hong Ik family in Tarrytown and beyond. Safety and mental well being has always been paramount, and Covid-19 has only heightened the care and concern for students of Hong Ik Martial Arts. There are strict and clear procedures in place to ensure students and parents alike stay a minimum of 6 feet away from each other at all times. Temperature checks upon arrival, separation of students at all times, and a cool device that students wear, which beep whenever students come within 9 feet of each other. The outdoor classes are a wonderful addition, but the safety procedures are second to none here at Hong Ik Martial Arts. It’s wonderful for the kids to train indoors again, and you can have peace of mind that health and safety comes first."

Emily, mom to Ruben, age 11
