While Master Sang Cha’s school philosophy continues to change to adapt with the times and trends, the core training and teaching has always been based on a love for his students and clear recognition of the important role an instructor can play in their lives. It is Master Cha’s wish to be a part of this as each student matures from a shy child walking into his dojang to a confident young adult. Master Cha also fosters an environment that stresses excellence in education among his students. He believes that many of the same skills that help students excel in Tae Kwon Do (TKD) apply just as well in the classroom. Each year, National Taekwondo Association (NTA) has students enroll in top universities across the country.
Master Cha’s NTA Taekwondo Center offers two training options, the general program for those who wish to learn the fundamentals of Tae Kwon Do, and Team NTA for those who wish to compete. Regardless of each student’s goals in TKD, it is NTA’s philosophy that the instructors must be patient and provide guidance to help the students mature at a pace suited to their abilities. Once a student decides on his or her goals for martial arts, it is the instructor’s job to help the student achieve those goals in a way that allows the student to progress while balancing both effort and achievement with an experience the student truly enjoys. Through the Team NTA program, Master Cha’s training includes plyometrics, endurance, weights and techniques. These students train four to six times each week, based upon their age and skill level. Many of Master Cha’s students choose to compete at a national level, and commit to attending the classes year round. Last year, Master Cha took over 75 qualifiers and competitors to the National Junior Olympics to compete with over 3,000 athletes from across the nation. NTA was recognized as the School of the Year for winning the most medals at Junior Nationals by USA Taekwondo (USAT).
As a competitor, Master Cha’s highest level of accomplishment was representing the United States in the 7th World Championships in Korea and the 2nd World Games in London in the fly-weight division. Master Cha brought home a bronze medal in both tournaments. He brings this level of international experience and expertise to his students each day at all levels at NTA Taekwondo Center. In all, Master Sang Cha has been practicing TKD for over 37 years, and has been teaching for 27 years. He is in the process of achieving his seventh-degree Kukkiwon black belt.
The NTA Taekwondo Center has classes oriented for both children and adults. The energetic atmosphere of our programs and our personal approach to teaching are designed to give students the necessary tools to become better people through martial arts.
Whether you are interested in Taekwondo as an exercise program or are a national-level athlete who wants to train for competition, NTA Taekwondo Center has classes to help meet your goals!
