Everyone here is fantastic. We have been coming here for my son since Feb 2022 and have since, signed up our daughter, as well. Master Ripepi greets everyone with the warmest smile as soon as they walk through the door and is sure that everyone feels welcome.

★★★★★ — Hannah, Feb 2024

The 7 yr old I bring to classes here LOVES it and would go every day if he could. He is inspired to BE MORE, REACH HIGHER and LIVE DIFFERENTLY and learning to thrive with confidence. Families are connecting and building respect for one another through the Martial Arts approach.

★★★★★ — Judith, Feb 2020

My son LOVES Asian Sun. He has Autism and he didn't like the Taekwondo in Florida. He didn't want to go but his Aunty encouraged him to go because his cousin is a black belt there. Well, my baby is not only a yellow tip now but he's in the Black Belt Club and he LOVES IT. Everyone is SO NICE AND FRIENDLY!!

★★★★★ — Monica, Feb 2020

The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable /helpful to the children. They do very well with children. They are very disciplined and No Nonsense. I would recommend this place to anyone. My son wants to strive there and I'm glad he has the support to do so.

New to taekwondo? Start at Asian Sun Martial Arts Taekwondo Karate of Beachwood Shaker Heights

Asian Sun Martial Arts Taekwondo Karate of Beachwood Shaker Heights 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 Asian Sun Martial Arts Taekwondo Karate of Beachwood Shaker Heights

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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
