From the reviews
The instructors are very friendly, they help guide the students to perfect their steps and forms. Not hard to follow. Often have fun time after each belt test to de-stress. It’s nice to take part in the tournaments.
This a wonderful school for any and all levels. I am 55 and decided to start training again after many years off the mat. Luckily for me I found Mr. Umayam and Evergreen Taekwondo. Very positive instructor and great character. Both Mr Umayam's have a very inspiring methods of training practices.
My daughter was 7 when we found Evergreen Taekwondo, and now she’s 11. We’ve had such a good experience here over the years. The instructors are kind, patient, and really care about the kids. I’ve seen my daughter grow so much in confidence, discipline, and skill.
We can’t say enough about our experience with Evergreen Taekwondo Academy. What started as a simple summer activity for Lyian nearly five years ago has turned into an incredible journey of growth and self-discovery.
New to taekwondo? Start at Evergreen Taekwondo Academy
Evergreen Taekwondo Academy 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 Evergreen Taekwondo 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.
