From the reviews
I have been training at Hwang's Taekwondo since age 5 and I loved every second of it. In 3 years of learning I was black belt thanks to the loving staff like Alex Park who taught me the Taekwondo Way by helping me every step of the way with positive encouragement to challenge me and become a better black belt.
I have been going to Hwang's Tae Kwon DO for six years, becoming a second degree black belt and a junior instructor for the school. Throughout my time at the school I have not only grown in physical ability but confidence and respect as well.
Excellent instructors. Other reviews here mention the large class sizes. However, this is variable depending on the time and day of the class. They offer several classes each day (except Fridays). Some classes are big, and some are small, mainly because they are pretty flexible to accommodate your schedule.
My wife, 4 children and I all studied under Master Hwang. Hwang's has a well rounded curriculum which focuses not only on learning the physical techniques of a martial art, but also introduces the students into the philosophy. For adults this is interesting. For children this gives them exposure to a different culture.
Your first taekwondo class at Hwang's Taekwondo School
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.
