From the reviews
My son has been learning Tae Kwon Do, and it has been a wonderful experience for him. He has become more active, focused, and confident since he started. He enjoys learning new moves like kicks and punches, and he’s very proud each time he earns a new belt.
This Tae Kwon Do is among the best, if not the greatest. Master Yusuf is an amazing master. I've been in this Tae Kwon Do for about 7 years. I was there as a student and I am there as a staff member. Children of all ages, teenagers, and adults have fun here. We meet new friends.
Master Yusuf and his staff are beyond amazing. They take pride in not only teaching the techniques of Taekwondo, but in shaping strong, confident, and respectful young people. From day one, it was clear that this is more than just a martial arts school — it’s a place where character is built.
My son has been going since 5 years old, absolutely the best place for kids of all ages. Great discipline, confidence, focusing & strength, both physical and mental. Master Joe, Master Yusef and staff are the best!! Not only do they teach with patience and clarity, they also care about your child.
New to taekwondo? Start at Champion's Martial Arts 18th Avenue
Champion's Martial Arts 18th Avenue 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 Champion's Martial Arts 18th Avenue
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.
