From the reviews
My 4 yr old started with them last year. Both Grandmaster and Master Kang are brilliant teachers!! They teach taekwondo with patience, paying undivided attention to each and every kid. Both the masters are very polite and respectful to the parents. They are disciplined and strict with students in just the right amount.
Grand Master and Master both are amazing. They are amazing in making individuals better, sharper, and faster. They not only prepare you for forms but also sparring. They have a class dedicated for sparring. They also teach weapons ( nunchuks).
My son's favorite place! Thanks to the master for the work! My son has been going here for 1.5 years and he has become a self-confident boy! The owner is a very good person and a professional in his field!
GrandMaster Kang's Taekwondo School is absolutely amazing for the kids because it builds self esteem & confidence alomg with the skills & discipline of Taekwondo. He is patient with the kids & makes this art fun but also maintains the serious aspects of Taekwondo. Ethan G has been there for 3 years (6 overall).
New to taekwondo? Start at Grand Master Kang's TaeKwonDo Martial Arts Center
Grand Master Kang's TaeKwonDo Martial Arts 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 Grand Master Kang's TaeKwonDo Martial Arts 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.
