The only place where kicking your friends is a sign of respect and friendship. I absolutely love the energy here! The vibes are always on point, and the instructors are even better. They have so much patience and really know how to push you to be your best while keeping things fun.

My son has been a member of the Dueling Dragons family for six years. He loves them so much! They give the kids knowledge, but even better, they instill a quiet confidence in them. It is so cool to watch them grow as athletes and as capable human beings. I can’t wait to see what the next six years bring!!!!

★★★★★ — Karen, Apr 2022

We have been going to Dueling Dragons for 4 1/2 years now. Ma’am and Sir care so much about the kiddos. They not only want to help them learn and succeed with taekwondo but life outside of taekwondo too. It is truly a family and we are lucky to have that in our kiddos life!

New to taekwondo? Start at Dueling Dragons TaeKwon-Do

Dueling Dragons TaeKwon-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 Dueling Dragons TaeKwon-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.
