From the reviews
This Taekwon-do school is great. Mr Murphy is one of the nicest person and one of the best Taekwon-do teacher.
My son has been with Concord TKD for 5-6 years now, and he still looks forward to every class. The coach is incredibly encouraging, attentive, and truly cares about each student’s progress. The facility has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like home.
My son has been a student of the Concord School of Taekwondo for approaching two years and he loves it. The instructors are very knowledgeable and friendly and he has learned a lot in the time he has been there. The studio is very nice and I feel very comfortable staying and watching my son there . I highly recommend
My son joined when he turned 6, he was able to try a few classes before committing. Master Murphy is engaging and patient with the students, teaching the TKD, safety, but also keeping it fun and active for young students. Flexible class schedules, local school.
New to taekwondo? Start at Concord School of Taekwon-Do
Concord School of Taekwon-Do 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 Concord School of Taekwon-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.
