From the reviews
We have been going here for almost 2 years now. This has been a great experience for my son and I’ve seen a lot of improvement in his listening, self-control, and self-confidence.
Master Conrad Jenkins is all about taekwondo. He is a 7th dan who learned from Kukkiwon grand masters and is an international ref for WT Olympic tkd. He has that rare ability to translate all that experience with a positive attitude into his lessons.
Master Conrad doesn't just teach taekwondo as a sport and martial art. He teaches it as a way of life. The shy learn to be bold, and the bold become humble. My children have grown in every way possible. They are more fit and overall better behaved than when we began.
Master Conrad is very dedicated and cares about his students, no matter what your reason for training. He is very knowledgeable makes class fun while learning.
New to taekwondo? Start at Conrad's Taekwondo
Conrad's Taekwondo 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 Conrad's Taekwondo
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.
