From the reviews
My son started in October of 2021 and since day one he loved it. His learned so much and he has improved his skills through time. His excited to move up from little tigers to the “big kids” like he calls it. All the teachers are amazing dedicated skilled and has lots of patience to teach.
We love Champions Taekwondo! Master Park is so positive, encouraging, and good with the students. I thought our son was too young to start (he was 4 when we did a trial class), but Master Park assured us he would be fine. He has learned so much about focusing, teamwork, and how to be a good friend (anti-bully!).
Champions martial arts is great. They have an amazing student to instructor ratio. I feel like my little one whos new is never looking lost. He always has someone attending to him and helping him keep up with the other kids. They're extremely nice and respectful to the parents and kids as well.
All the masters, and staff are very attentive and caring. They do an excellent job to motivate the kids to always do their best. They always find creative ways to make learning Taekwondo safe, fun and exciting!
New to taekwondo? Start at Champions Martial Arts Dyker Heights
Champions Martial Arts Dyker Heights comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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 Dyker 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.
