From the reviews

I've been in martial arts for over 30 years, and known Jeremy for the last 10 of that. I can honestly say, he is one of the best martial art teachers I've ever seen, and I've seen MANY teachers. Not only does he know his stuff forward and backward, but he knows the whys, hows, and whens.

★★★★★ — Bill, May 2017

I had the incredible good fortune to meet KGN Jeremy over 9 years ago and began my journey as a martial artist. I became a black belt under his guidance and instruction; and this year my son will earn his 1st degree as well. My oldest son started training at 3 years old.

★★★★★ — Jeremy, May 2017

I was mentored by Jeremy at Dynamic Martial Arts long before he opened his own studio, and he was consistently my favorite martial arts instructor because he made classes fun and have the perfect amount of challenge.

★★★★★ — Dan, May 2017

Jeremy is s gentle giant who knows how to get the best out of kids. He teaches them respect by how he treats them and they in turn have a deep respect for him. He is able to inspire them to be their best and gets them motivated through kind leadership.

New to taekwondo? Start at Dynamic Martial Arts - Gresham

Dynamic Martial Arts - Gresham 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 Dynamic Martial Arts - Gresham

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.
