From the reviews
My son loves it here! Everyone is so friendly. Instructors are high ranked and know their stuff!
Mr. Cabeen, Mrs. April and the entire staff are wonderful. They are so amazing with the kids and great with teaching the art of taekwondo. They are encouraging, inspiring, and patient with the kids.
Great place to teach life skills to children and adults of all ages. Instructors are not too pushy and allow students to participate at the pace their bodies will allow. My 41 yr old body is not capable of doing what the teenage body is, and they understand this and only push me to my comfort level.
My 9 year old has taken to taekwondo like a fish to water, thanks to the instructors under Mr Cabeen. They are fantastic with kids as young as four all the way up to old men like me. Tell them Xander sent you!
New to taekwondo? Start at Dupont Taekwondo
Dupont Taekwondo 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 Dupont 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.
