If anyone could let me know of any martial arts places in Suwon (preferably not too far from Suwon Station) I would really appreciate it. Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, Judo, Jui Jitsu, anything--Thanks

Walk out of Suwon Station and go down the street thats right in front of you. About 100 yards down the street, at the light where the pedestrian crosswalk is located, there should be a Mauy Thai gym on the second floor in one of the buildings on the right. Its easier to see from the other side of the street.

Cool thanks--Is the street you're referring to the one across the street with the Starbucks and the Pizza Hut?

Hay. I work out at that gym BrianInSuwon is talking about. It's a Muay-Kick boxing gym. The directions are correct. Look for an ALPHA stationary store when you cross over from the lights, it's on the second floor just to the left of that shop.
The training sessions begin around 5-5:30, then one at 6:30-7pm and again at 9. I think. I've been working out there for around two years, and have boxed for around 20. I come from a family of boxers, so I just train myself, and don't partake in the sessions, but will help guys from time to time, and therefore I get a big discount. The coaches are good enough, especially the owner. If you need some help, I will be there today between 4:40-6pm.
