My children have been going there for years, Amazing family, great place for children to learn how to defend their selves, and a great way for children to socialize. Master Vicente, and Lee are amazing. Afterschool services pick up children from school and help them with their homework.

★★★★★ — Amaury, Jun 2024

Amazing school where kids learn discipline and self defense among other things. It is obvious that Master Vicente truly has a great passion for TKD and teaching the kids. His wife Lee is also great with the kids. My son has been attending for about 3 years and my two daughters for about 1 year. Highly recommend!!!

★★★★★ — Alex, Feb 2020

Not enough good things to say about this school and those who care for the children. They are amazing and it is the best thing I've done for my little one! They teach discipline and technique but more importantly, they are now part of our family. We love Family Taekwondo School :)

New to taekwondo? Start at Family Taekwondo School

Family Taekwondo School 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 Family Taekwondo School

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.
