From the reviews

The best decision I could have made was to enroll my son in this place. The instructors are excellent, they have helped my son to feel more sure of himself, his attitude changed 100% in all places and in all circumstances. I am proud to see my son every day working to be a better version of him self.

★★★★★ — Adrianne, Jan 2022

As my son and I left the baseball fast-pitch facility one night three years ago, we walked past the martial arts business next door. With its large customer friendly windows we were very easily able to see and watch what was taking place inside.

★★★★★ — Lewis, Jul 2020

J Tiger Martial Arts is truly a family establishment. My family and I started our journey here over 2 years ago and couldn’t be happier. Master Kim’s instruction and dedication on and off the mat is inspiring. Master Kim has earned the name of the “child whisperer”.

★★★★★ — Gillian, May 2019

Hands down the BEST Taekwondo school you could choose. Friendly and knowledgeable instructors, a welcoming learning environment, and a great place for your children to learn disciple, respect, and connect with other children. Master Kim and the other instructors truly care about every kid’s personal journey.

New to taekwondo? Start at J.Tiger Martial Arts Taekwondo

J.Tiger Martial Arts 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 J.Tiger 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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
