I started my kids only a few short years back and now they are both GREEN BELTS! They Loved the workouts, and training so much I thought "why not let Dad get in on this too!?" I now go at least once a week with the kids, Ive lost 10 lbs. feel great and I received my White Belt in about a months time.

★★★★★ — J, Jan 2016

Through my 12 years training taekwondo here, I can proudly say it has shaped me into the person I am today. Through every belt and lesson, I learn more about discipline and respect. This place doesn’t only teach martial arts, but also teaches many great values that stay with you forever.

★★★★★ — Mike, Jul 2025

Grand master Kim's Tae Kwon do is a very amazing and unbelievable place that taught me the importance of a healthy mind and body, we train, we accomplish, and work hard to better ourselves in the dojang and in life. Bm Kim's Tae Kwon do is a great experience for anyone.

New to taekwondo? Start at B.M. Kim's Taekwondo at Port Chester

B.M. Kim's Taekwondo at Port Chester 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 B.M. Kim's Taekwondo at Port Chester

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.
