From the reviews
I am at Chay's TKD for a little over a year now. I am an adult coming back to martial arts after a long hiatus,, so I have a perspective from my experience training Korean martial arts from over 30 years ago. Chay's teaches ITF style Tae Kwon Do, which is a traditional martial art (unlike, say, MMA).
My Grandchildren have been in this program for the last 2 years- what a great program they are attending, Master Chay offers the ability for the students to attend classes at either location Mequon or Cedarburg . what has always amazed me is that for the number of students that attend, Master Chay and Mr.
Master Chay is such an incredible teacher. From the young 4-5 year olds all the way up to the adults. He helps you become the best version of yourself. A pleasure to be a part of this school.
Great Tae Kwon Do place. My son started doing Tae Kwon Do with Master Chay 3 years ago. I joined in 6 months later. It's a great community and an excellent place for training. It's a great balance between physical and mental focus.
New to taekwondo? Start at Chay’s Tae Kwon Do
Chay’s 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 Chay’s 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.
