From the reviews
Master Kim takes instructing to the next level. He is the best martial arts teacher my kids have ever had. The other instructors are also teaching at a high level. He teaches courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self control and Indomitable Spirit!
iTiger mac is a new and big place to learn TaeKwonDo. Master Kim is a great educator and nice to kids.
Both my son and I take classes here. The Master and Instructors are all very friendly and eager to help you learn. You won't feel too much pressure to be perfect but they will help you find better ways to perform. Very reasonably priced and lots of availability for classes.
iTiger is an excellent center to learn TaeKwonDo. Master Kim is a very well trained instructor and excellent with his teaching methods. He is one of the best people to learn from.
Your first taekwondo class at iTiger Martial Arts | 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.
