From the reviews
Master Johnny is one of the best Taekwondo masters in the U.S. He is extremely precise, professional, and knowledgeable. Both of my kids love going to Taekwondo and practice every day as they challenge themselves to reach the next level.
Master Johnny truly cares about his students. His guidance is thoughtful and encouraging, and it shows in how confidently and happily my kids learn from him. Highly recommend to any parent looking for quality instruction. Glad we found him in the first place and excited for his new Taekwondo school.
Our kids genuinely love it—“Master Lee makes it fun”. Their behavior is better than ever, and they’re in amazing shape. I’m not saying it’s magic… but it feels suspiciously close. Win-win-win. My wife and I joined the 7pm adult class and it turns out sitting at a desk all day does NOT count as cardio..
Master Johnny is always working incredibly hard and is truly one of the few authentic Taekwondo masters in the United States. You can clearly see his passion and dedication through his students. I can’t wait to see his talented and lucky students compete at the tournament.
New to taekwondo? Start at ILDO TAEKWONDO
ILDO 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 ILDO 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.
