From the reviews
I've been training at J Park Martial Arts just over 7 months earlier this year. I started off choreography training for filming purposes with Master Hoon. Who I've grown to love and respect his ways and lifestyle along with many others.
Absolutely amazing martial arts school! This place has truly become like family to us. The instructors are not only skilled but incredibly caring and supportive. They’ve helped my son grow in confidence, discipline, and self-esteem more than I ever imagined possible.
Master Hoon is a brilliant martial artist, choreographer, and teacher! I've seen him inspire and empower his students both in self defense but on set as fighters. He also is very positive and will bring the best out of everyone around him!
I have trained at this school for a long time. I started with Taekwondo, kickboxing, and now I’m training BJJ. The instructors are wonderful, honest, and committed to training their students. The instructors want their students to succeed and meet their goals.
New to taekwondo? Start at J. PARK MARTIAL ARTS
J. PARK MARTIAL ARTS 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 J. PARK MARTIAL ARTS
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.
