Great Confidence Builder! Our two sons (10 and 11) have been attending Dover Dragons Taekwondo for about a year, and it has been a wonderful experience. The instructors do a fantastic job working with kids—meeting them at their level while still challenging them to grow.

★★★★★ — Geri, Mar 2026

Dover Dragons is an excellent martial arts school! We have watched the confidence of our son continually grow through this program. Master Bob & the instructors set high expectations (but attainable) & provide the support & encouragement needed to help the students achieve success!

Dover Dragons comes highly recommended. The staff is professional, works great with kids, and it's a safe environment for them to learn and hone their skills. I love seeing the confidence in my son grow and his focus during class.

New to taekwondo? Start at Dover Dragons Tae Kwon Do

Dover Dragons 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 Dover Dragons 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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
