From the reviews
Master Kim is a great coach who teaches Olympic Taekwondo sparring. My son is enrolled in the Performance classes, where he has learned many sparring techniques and has won numerous competitions through USA Taekwondo and AAU. He even competed in the Texas Team Trials this year.
My son has been training at HK Taekwondo since 2021, and we couldn't be happier! This isn't just a taekwondo school – it's an incredible community filled with support, positivity, and team spirit. We've found true friends here, and HK Taekwondo has literally become our second family.
I have been training with the competition team at HK for 5 years now and I am so incredibly grateful for the hardworking staff and fantastic instructors. The community at HK is so supportive and I truly feel a part of the HK family!
I’m a mother of two kids who have been practicing Taekwondo since they were 5 years old. We’ve changed schools twice before, but HK Taekwondo has been the best experience by far.
New to taekwondo? Start at HK Taekwondo
HK Taekwondo 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 HK Taekwondo
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.
