From the reviews
D-Best-1 Taekwondo and Kickboxing Center truly lives up to its name! My son is only 4½ years old, and he’s doing amazingly well thanks to the incredible coaches. They’re not only knowledgeable but also fantastic with kids — patient, encouraging, and fun.
D-Best-1 Center is an amazing place to train. The instructors are super knowledgeable, motivating, and really care about helping you grow—both in skill and confidence. Whether you're into Taekwondo or Kickboxing, every class is high-energy, challenging, and fun.
Very good instructors. My kids love going to Taekwondo class. They also have a gymnastics class and my daughter loves it! They teach the kids respect and patience. Love that my kids are active when going to class.I definitely recommend this school. Great for their confidence.
This is an amazing school. We transferred from another after my children's instructor passed. My children all love their teacher and his classes. You won't regret sending your children here. They gain skill, confidence and discipline. Well done D-Best-1 Taekwondo!
New to taekwondo? Start at D-Best-1 Taekwondo, Kickboxing & Martial Art School - Clifton Location
D-Best-1 Taekwondo, Kickboxing & Martial Art School - Clifton Location 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 D-Best-1 Taekwondo, Kickboxing & Martial Art School - Clifton Location
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.
