From the reviews
Wonderful school, the faculty is very welcoming and starting out is very easy. The master in charge is very talented at teaching this style of martial arts. The hours are very flexible, and they cater to all age groups from little kids to adults.
3 and 1/2 years in the making, watching my Son grow in years and personality. Watching him gain the discipline and confidence taught by Master Joshua, Barbara, Stephanie and the rest of this wonderful team. Yins Taekwondo in Palmdale is the best and we are so blessed to be part of this place.
Yins Tae Kwon Do is the best martial arts school around. If you want to grow and become stronger both physically and mentally, while being pushed to do your best, this is the place to go. Master Joshua is skilled at what he does and is a great instructor.
My boy enjoys class and he also likes helping other children learn, I live the fact they also learn discipline. Master Joshua is the best, he is always there for the kids and has a very good and fun teaching technique. I will recommend Yin's Tae Kwon Do 100%.
New to taekwondo? Start at California Elite Tae Kwon Do
California Elite Tae Kwon Do 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 California Elite Tae Kwon Do
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.
