From the reviews
Master Seo, Instructor Hayden, Leilani, Lydia & other staff are all so professional & high-energy with the kids. We’ve had such a great experience so far & my son is learning tons!
Hey friends, I’m in a unique position to share two perspectives—both as an adult student and as a parent. Adult: I practiced Taekwondo 48 years ago. Now, at 63, I’m back on the mat and having the time of my life. The adult class at the Midtown location meets three evenings a week and is taught by Master Seo himself.
Our family has trained at Golden Dragon Taekwondo for many years now and the reason is that Master Seo is always there to help you achieve your goals. He is an amazing teacher from the first class till you earn your black belt and beyond.
Community, culture, and capability. These are identifiers of Golden Dragon. Instruction, investment, and increase. These are the receipts of Golden Dragon. Students at Golden Dragon definitively grow to be representatives of its creed, and there are no other instructors of taekwondo in Oklahoma like the instructors at…
New to taekwondo? Start at Golden Dragon Taekwondo - Midtown
Golden Dragon Taekwondo - Midtown 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 Golden Dragon Taekwondo - Midtown
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.
