From the reviews
Little tigers (3-5) has been great for our son. Master RJ is a kind, yet firm teacher and stresses the importance of self-control, perseverance and integrity. The flexible schedule (drop-in classes M-Th @ 5 pm) is awesome for working parents. The student teachers are a bonus and set a good example for the kids.
I have so many good things to say about Charleston Taekwondo in North Mt. Pleasant! The staff are some of the most helpful and caring people you’ll ever meet, they go above and beyond to make sure every child feels supported and valued.
Our family absolutely loves Charleston Taekwondo! RJ has been an incredible teacher for our kids, Cortland and Ashton. He strikes the perfect balance between discipline and fun, keeping the classes structured while still making every session engaging and encouraging.
Our son has flourished at CHS TKD over the past year! We waited until we found a martial arts school that had an instructor who was great with small kiddos (as he started right after he turned 5). Master RJ is extremely kind and patient with him while also instilling the importance of listening and trying his best.
Your first taekwondo class at Charleston Taekwondo - North Mount Pleasant
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.
