From the reviews
I love this place so much. The Masters and instructors are all very friendly and they always push you to be your best. We learn not only to defend ourselves but we also learn good life lessons. I have made lots of great friends through this studio and would highly recommend!!!!
If you want traditional TKD, this is THE best dojang in town. Great instructors and great students, very flexible schedule as well.
I've been going to Golden Taekwondo since December of 2015. I am now testing for my black belt on May 19th. I tried other taekwondo places before Golden Taekwondo and the dojang is amazing. I've made so many friends, met new people, and learned many new things.
I started here as a freshman in high school. Now in college, I look forward to coming back every break, the studio is that good. Haven't found a TKD place I love as much as this.
New to taekwondo? Start at Golden Tae Kwon DO Center
Golden Tae Kwon DO 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 Golden Tae Kwon DO 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.
