From the reviews

My daughter likes classes with Master Cheon! She has been attending this martial arts school for 2 years now and every time she goes there with pleasure. Master Cheon is a very polite and kind, yet demanding trainer. Students love, respect, and obey him.

★★★★★ — Tetiana, Jan 2025

My daughter has tried many different activities, but this is her favorite. She wants to go there every day. Master Cheon can find an approach to every child and they all love him. My daughter has been going to the CMA for over a year now and has become more confident, stronger and focused.

★★★★★ — Kristina, May 2023

If you are looking for sport activity for your kids, this is the best place to start. The most important thing is to find a coach who could deal with kids. My daughter loves him a lot and looks forward to her taekwondo classes.

New to taekwondo? Start at Champions Martial Arts Brighton Beach

Champions Martial Arts Brighton Beach 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 Champions Martial Arts Brighton Beach

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.
