From the reviews
We cannot say enough positive things about Ahn’s Taekwondo and how valuable it has been for our family! Our youngest is now a purple belt under the tutelage of Master Ko and Master Ryo… and we also recently enrolled his older brother — so we are *all in*!! Thank you Ahn!
My daughter has been attending this Taekwondo class for a year, and the progress she has made is incredible! The instructors are patient, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to helping each student grow in both skill and confidence. She has developed discipline, strength, and perseverance while also having fun.
Bring my child to Supreme Martial Arts , has been the single best thing I have done as a parent , best thing I have invested for my sons. His listen skills , his respect for himself and others, and his willingness to try challenging task increase every week.
I've had a fantastic experience at Ahn’s. Master Ko is not only highly skilled, but also incredibly patient, encouraging, and great with students of all ages. The classes are well-structured, combining discipline, fitness, and fun.
New to taekwondo? Start at Ahn's Taekwondo NYC
Ahn's Taekwondo NYC 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 NYC
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.
