From the reviews
I really recommend. The Taekwondo school is very nice and they are very polite to each other and bullying is not allowed here. My children entered when they were three years old and the truth is that thanks to the Grand Master and the instructors my children have learned a lot and today they are black belts.
I love this school. My daughter has been going to this school for over three months and she loves it. Even though she is only 2 years old, she pays attention, she listens to the master and loves practicing her lessons. It took a lot of patience for her to focus, but now she is so disciplined.
I've been attending Taekwondo classes at this school, and it's been an incredible experience. The grand master is truly amazing—his kindness and wisdom shine through in every lesson.
We recently enrolled our 7 yrs old son. So far, he is doing pretty good. Grand master and their staff are super friendly. They give time to parents in explaining things. They are very accommodating with their timings and adjust to your changing schedules. Highly recommended.
New to taekwondo? Start at Jang Star Taekwondo School
Jang Star Taekwondo School 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 Jang Star Taekwondo School
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.
