From the reviews
My 6 and 7 year olds have been attending for over a year and LOVE it! As a parent, I know very little about the martial arts, and quickly grew to appreciate the passion, discipline and life lessons they've learned through Tae Kwon Do.
We have been coming here for several years now, I've lost track! This has been the best thing for our 8 yr old. She is currently a brown belt and even after several years, she looks forward to every class. The instructors are all fantastic and she has made great friends.
We looked into a number of Taekwondo schools when we moved to CO and J.W. Kim stood out as the perfect fit for us as far as values, teaching style, size, and location. We couldn't be more pleased with our decision to join!
I have been a longtime student and am now also an instructor at JW Kim TKD. I love the "vibe" in the classes: serious martial arts and serious fun, too! Grand Master Kim and head instructor Master Mike keep the standards and expectations very high while meeting students wherever they are physically and mentally and…
New to taekwondo? Start at J W Kim Taekwondo - Denver Tech Center
J W Kim Taekwondo - Denver Tech Center 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 W Kim Taekwondo - Denver Tech Center
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.
