From the reviews
The best Taekwondo!! We are back after 2 years and it feels like home!!! Master Woo is the best, very involved with the kids and teaching them the best wey to behave and be in shape!! We couldn’t be more happy here!!!
My son has gone here for over two years (they were great about doing virtual classes during the pandemic), and I started taking classes myself in February. We love it! It's great for all ages, and Master Woo balances challenges with encouragement, all while adding a touch of humor.
My daughter has been with Alpha for a month now and she absolutely loves it. The focus on respect, confidence and learning make it enjoyable for both of us. Also, the opportunities for shout outs and recognition are a highlight for her. We both have loved the experience with the Masters and the program overall.
I have nothing but positive things to say about the school and its instructors. Master Woo is an exceptional instructor who truly cares about the students and their growth. He has a passion for teaching martial arts and a love for children, which shows in the way he interacts with the kids in the class.
New to taekwondo? Start at ALPHA MARTIAL ARTS TAEKWONDO
ALPHA MARTIAL ARTS TAEKWONDO comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 ALPHA MARTIAL ARTS TAEKWONDO
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.
