From the reviews
I started up Taekwondo again after 10 years here at Ahns. Master Park is so kind and caring. If I miss two classes he calls or emails me asking how I am and if I am ok- I’ve never seen a more dedicated and professional teacher.
My son and I have been taking taekwndo classes at Ahn’s Taekwndo for more than one year by now (earlier at Plainsboro school and currently at Pennington school). I have taken trial classes in other schools in the area and found that Ahn’s taekwndo is the best among all for many reasons.
My wife, my 9-year-old son, and I have been attending Ahn's Taekwondo adult class for almost 8 months now, and we are all thoroughly impressed with the quality of instruction and the overall experience. It's fantastic to have a Taekwondo school that caters to the whole family!
My two girls, 12 and 10 years old, have been part of Ahn’s Taekwondo for almost 9 months. I honestly can't find the words to express how much I appreciate Master Park and everything he teaches. He not only teach the students Taekwondo, but also respect, for themselves and others. He teaches confidence.
New to taekwondo? Start at Ahn's Taekwondo in Lawrenceville
Ahn's Taekwondo in Lawrenceville comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Ahn's Taekwondo in Lawrenceville
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.
