About Sun Taekwondo Academy
in Danvers
Our UNSTOPPABLE Mission:
Sun Taekwondo Academy was inspired by a simple beginning.
When Master Hong first started training as a child, his dojang was called “Sun.”
It wasn’t a large or modern facility. In fact, it began without a roof.
Students trained under the open sky — under the sun.
Rain or heat, there were no excuses.
What was built there wasn’t just physical strength.
It was discipline. Perseverance. Character.
That same spirit lives today at Sun Taekwondo Academy in Danvers, MA.We believe real confidence is not given — it is earned.
We believe discipline creates freedom.
We believe children grow the most when they learn to overcome challenges.
Our White Tiger represents controlled strength — not aggression, but focus, courage, and integrity.
At Sun Taekwondo Academy, we do more than teach martial arts.
We build confident leaders who shine inside and outside the classroom.
Just like the sun rises every day,
we show up.
We train.
We grow.
