From the reviews

My 3 boys love this school and their camps too. The program really shines in bringing improved behavior to the home. Respect, focus, self discipline and leadership are main goals. If your child is having trouble the staff works with you personally. This has improved our lives.

★★★★★ — Jessica, May 2022

Excellent school. Classes are smaller sized (up to 10 kids)and well organized. All students get equal levels of attention and stay engaged. Cost is very reasonable for twice a week classes. Can’t recommend this place enough for developing confidence , coordination and discipline.

Your first taekwondo class at Hwang's School of 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.
