From the reviews
My child has been with Everest World Class Taekwondo sense they opened . I am very proud of her ! I must say it has taught her reasonability , self control. She has put in very much hard work and Master Karki makes sure that he give each child attention and lets them know what they need to work on and lets them know…
Nearly a year ago I found myself struggling to find the right therapy for my incredibly active and strong willed boy. After doing some research I discovered Everest. Master Karki made a promise that he has made certain to keep. He promised to guide and teach my 7 year old methods of discipline and self-control.
It is a wonderful feeling to be part of something special. 9 months ago I joined Everest World Class TaekwonDo and it has been one of the best decisions I have made! My life has improved so much physically and mentally. Master Kumar Karki is a true inspiration! Not only is he a great teacher but a truly wonderful man.
I am a student here, I’ve been going here since it first opened in 2015. All the time I have been here I’ve experienced wonderful things. The classes are really good, they challenge you to do your best and in the end it’s very rewarding.
New to taekwondo? Start at Everest World Class TaeKwondo & Family Martial Arts Academy
Everest World Class TaeKwondo & Family Martial Arts 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 Everest World Class TaeKwondo & Family Martial Arts 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.
