From the reviews

My son has been doing Taekwondo since he was 6 brought him to this school when he was 12 as we just moved. Grandmaster Yi took him under his belt and has treated him like family. My son is now 15 an assistant instructor and is getting ready for his second degree black belt test.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Apr 2021

A great studio for your child and parents/grandparents to join together. We first signed up our son and within 6 months my husband and myself joined. My daughter signed up and became black belt last year. This year my oldest son came home from the military and joined.

★★★★★ — Kathryn, Apr 2015

This place has amazing energy. They teach all ages from about 3 years to adults. The instructors are all fantastic and Master Yi is officially one of my favorite people. This place is the best!!!

New to taekwondo? Start at Grand Master YI Brothers Tae Kwon Do

Grand Master YI Brothers Tae Kwon Do 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 YI Brothers Tae Kwon Do

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.
