From the reviews
Master Eddie at Empower Taekwondo is phenomenal! His passion for teaching and dedication to each student’s growth is truly inspiring. He creates a positive, disciplined, and empowering environment where students of all ages can thrive.
We have been going since February and all three of our girls love it! I appreciate that Master Eddy cares about their behavior inside and outside of class. Our girls aren’t only learning and growing in self-defense, but who they are as people and their confidence. We love Empower Taekwondo
Master Jeong is an incredible martial artist, and is definitely the best in the area. As a fellow master I know what he is capable of. You cannot go wrong bringing your child to learn from him!
My 7, 10 & 11 year olds love this school. Master Eddie brings a great balance of discipline and fun. The class schedules give you plenty of options on days when other kid events come up.
New to taekwondo? Start at Empower Taekwondo Center
Empower Taekwondo Center 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 Empower 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.
