From the reviews
A Life-Changing Experience for My Son at Invictus Taekwondo! Invictus Taekwondo has been nothing short of transformational for my son, Dakota. From his very first class, it was clear that this school is in a league of its own.
Both of my daughters have trained at Invictus since they were just 7 and 5 years old. Now 13 and 11, they’ve grown tremendously under Master DeGeorge’s guidance. He’s tough but fair—and most importantly, he truly cares about each and every student.
Before I share my review, I just want to preface by saying that if it's within your possibility (or you're looking to have your son/daughter) to join Invictus Taekwondo, even if it's a bit of a ride for you, do not hesitate and sign up right away. I learned Taekwondo during my teenage years.
Was a student at the Elizabeth location for a very long time. Stopped by the Union school and was immediately impressed with how modern and inviting the school is. Signed my 3 sons up after speaking with the instructor. The academy has a competitive history with a long list of state and national champs.
New to taekwondo? Start at Invictus Taekwondo
Invictus 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 Invictus 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. 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.
