From the reviews

We joined DG Malvern in June of 2021, after moving to the area. Our son had never done martial arts -- or any sports. He has absolutely loved his class at DG, and we went from initially having him attend weekly on Saturdays, to 2-3 times per week.

My daughter Alvira, has been attending the dragon gym Malvern sessions almost 2 years now... started at Pee Wee 1 to Junior 1 now. She has improved a lot over her skills especially in terms of emotional balance and her confidence has increased and improved since she started the classes.

★★★★★ — Ashwinder, Apr 2026

I visited many gyms before finally deciding to join Dragon Gym, and am so glad I waited until I found this gym. The facilities are clean and well-kept, but most importantly the instructors are excellent.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Oct 2024

Started my son in Taekwondo here in DG’s Malvern location just 2 months after turning 4…I wasn’t sure how much he’d like it or not, but the only thing I regret is not starting him sooner. The classes are such a great mix of physical, mental, educational, and fun!

Your first taekwondo class at Dragon Gym Malvern - TKD, BJJ, Muay Thai

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.
