From the reviews
Whether you're looking for an after school program for your child or a place to learn and work out together with your child this is the place to go. My 7 year old daughter has been attending the after school program and summer camp program for 2 years now and has grown in so many ways.
I am very impressed with the way that they are taking responsibility for Health concerns related to the pandemic! They treat all of their students with courtesy and respect! Their main instructor master BJ is a very caring and knowledgeable instructor!
Dunedin taekwondo has helped me with not only teakwondo but with good morals in life. They also teach me different self defense moves as well. I recommend this school for anyone who is looking for there child or themselves to become the best version of themselves.
My children have been coming here for over a year and are well taken care of and are cared for by very nice people. All of the kids there are treated with respect.
New to taekwondo? Start at Dunedin Taekwondo Academy
Dunedin Taekwondo Academy 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 Dunedin Taekwondo Academy
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.
