Actually, I've been to your gym before to look around for morning classes. I live in Sinchon (so I don't live too far from where you work out), but I train in a gym in Incheong Baeksokdong so it takes like and hour and a half to get there (total time of walking, waiting, riding the bus, and walking again).
I have no problems with my current gym, they are like a second family to me (I've even slept over in my instructor's home on a few occassions), but commuting to and from the gym takes up valuable time for me that I could use like academic study and chess practice. I've already discussed this problem with my instructor, and he gave me permission to cross-train in other gyms to fill in the gaps in my training. The only problem is I didn't know how the instructors in other gyms will react to my request.
At your gym I've talked to the Taekwondo instructor "upstairs", but I didn't really tell him everything. As I first wanted to found out if there was a morning class (doesn't really matter anymore, I think I might take evening classes too). I think I'll have my instructor to give your gym a call for permisson some time later or so.

Well, the only classes that you can take that are worth a shit are with the amateurs and Kwang-hee. We lost most of our pros due to bullshit and Jae-seok Lim opening his own gym. Those are from 7-10pm.
One funny story I have is one time I went to a gym near Eungam E-Mart. The guy swore he learned his moves at BTT. Fuckin' doosh was about 25. I just wanted to get some rolling in with some different partners. He made me spar with his one and only pro and I broke him. Then the asshole has the nerve to tell me that I had to pick between his gym and JSK bc I might reveal his secrets to my instructors. My instructors at the time were a Spirit MC MW champ and KDH. Koreans do some stupid shit to save face. I am in no way over generalizing here.
