From the reviews
This place is great for all levels. Master Yun is very cheerful, kind, but also very traditional, challenging, trustworthy, honorable and knowledgeable. I have over 48 years experience with martial arts and can say with certainty that this club and the instructor is well worth the time and money.
I’ve had a great experience with HYO Martial Arts. I really appreciate that private lessons are available and the facility is always very clean. The outdoor terrace is a nice touch since it makes it easy and comfortable to watch the kids during class.
This is a place where you can learn true Taekwondo. Master Yun is a proven instructor, continuously recognized on the World Taekwondo Headquarters (Kukkiwon)’s list of the 30 most influential Taekwondo leaders worldwide.
Just tried the trial class and omg… my kid LOVED it. He’s usually bouncing off the walls and not paying attention, but here he was focused the whole time. The Master has this way of keeping the kids engaged without yelling. Place is super clean too. I was impressed
New to taekwondo? Start at HYO Martial Arts - Taekwondo school
HYO Martial Arts - Taekwondo school comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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 HYO Martial Arts - 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.
