From the reviews
Grand Master Kim is an excellent instructor and is very good with our young daughter. I have trained in taekwondo many years ago and I wanted my daughter to experience the same training I once had.
Update*** I was blessed to get to Visit Master Kim last month in November before the Holidays while in Dallas on a work trip. I Stopped in and got to talk with him before classes started and he took me on a Tour of the NEW Dojang. It is AMAZING!!!
Grand Master Dragon Jin Young Kim is the best there is in the business. I have been a student of Moo Duk Kwan Tae Kwon Do for over 50 years and he is the absolute eminence both in teaching and technical material. He is one of the few 9th dans in Texas and currently serves as world wide President of Moo Duk Kwan.
If you are looking for a studio that’s going to teach you or your children through traditional taekwondo and not just take your money and give you a belt, then grandmaster Kim studio is hands-down the best. My son enjoys going to class and learning new skills and is corrected if doing it wrong which means a lot.
New to taekwondo? Start at Dragon Kim's Taekwondo
Dragon Kim'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 Dragon Kim'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.
