Style / system: Olympic / World Taekwondo — based on the school's own site and student reviews. Taekwondo systems (Olympic/World Taekwondo, ITF, and ATA/Songahm) differ in forms, sparring rules, and tournaments; if lineage matters to you, confirm it with the school. ATA vs WT vs ITF, explained →
Affiliated school — reviews and the school's own info point to a recognized taekwondo organization or franchise (think ATA Martial Arts, Kukkiwon certification, World Taekwondo, or ITF). If credentials matter to you, ask which association the school belongs to and where the head instructor earned their black-belt (dan) rank and certification.

What students say
“The head and black belt instructors are experts, know how to teach, and are especially patient with the younger students.”
From the reviews
The staff is wonderful, and the environment is very positive and supportive. The head and black belt instructors are experts, know how to teach, and are especially patient with the younger students. Couldn't be happier and more impressed with this place in the early goings.
This is a really great tae kwon do studio. Our children have learned so much in a short time. The instructors are serious but also kind. They are focused on teaching the children valuable lessons and knowledge in addition to physical skills. Highly recommend!
My son enjoys the classes very much. I have seen him grow as a person because of them. Tom is a great teacher. We’re so glad we found 7 Tigers Taekwondo and Hapkido.
Your first taekwondo class at 7 Tigers Taekwondo and Hapkido
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
