We started Elite Taekwondo in Feb 2025 for our 5-year-old son who is full of energy. We heard Taekwondo is great for focus and endurance. With all the Taekwondo centers in our area, we decided to try Elite by a reference from a family member and I'm glad we did!

The best Taekwondo school out there!!! The instructors and owner are so nice, knowledge and kind to all. The location is perfect and it is so fun. The instructors are all so knowledgably and they know what they are doing. Classes are so fun and welcoming. It feels like family and recommend this school to anyone.

★★★★★ — Lizeth, Oct 2025

It's been one year since we started attending twice a week. TKD is the one thing my kids have taken a liking to. The masters and instructors are great. The classes are well structured, with enough repetitiveness so the kids can learn their forms, yet dynamic week to week where it keeps them engaged.

Your first taekwondo class at Elite Taekwondo Center

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.
