From the reviews
Went for a free lesson. Learned a lot in a short 1 hour time. Grand Master is great and clearly knowledgeable. He showed me hands on a few techniques. He emphasizes techniques over strength. He has been practicing for 50 years!
Very cool place, the master is one to meet and his students take pride in what they teach. I did the trial class for a few weeks and loved it. The process when stating the class all the way to finishing the hour lesson. They have great instructors and a great location.
Master Kim and Grand Master Hyun are the best . I love learning new things every time I go, getting in shape, learning leadership, getting more confidence, and learning how to defend my self. Amazing place to train!!!
This place is really good! My kid absolutely loves it, and I can see his constant progress. He loves coming here and I do, too. The masters of Tae Kwon Do here are very knowledgeable, professional and patient.
Your first taekwondo class at Hyun's Hapkido & 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.
