From the reviews

Great school! Miss Gutierrez and her staff are very disciplined, demonstrates encouragement and motivates the students to always do their best no matter what! Highly recommended! Family owned business. My daughter had low self esteem and experience with school bullying. Now she is strong , beautiful and smiling again!!

Ma’am Gutierrez is such a supportive and encouraging instructor! She is receptive to her students’ needs and motivates them to try harder. She is truly the definition of girl power and inspires my little one (and myself) to be strong and confident.

★★★★★ — Rosy, Aug 2022

Madame Gutierrez is a wonderful teacher! I am happy to see how confident my daughter has become through her classes. The dojo is clean and neat so we feel safe (especially with the virus). Madame Gutierrez helps her students, and is very patient. I would highly recommend Gutierrez Taekwando to anyone!

Your first taekwondo class at Gutierrez Taekwondo USA

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.
