Chang's TaeKwonDo in Buffalo Grove has made it easy to get started. We offer a trial program which gives new students the opportunity to try TaeKwonDo, without obligation. During the trial period new students will participate in a class with people of similar ability. The trial classes also allow parents and/or students to talk with our instructors about the many benefits TaeKwonDo offers. There is no obligation at all after the trial program.
