I love how my nephew & niece enjoy taking the taekwondo class. I recently attended one of the belt tests and I must say, the students are well-disciplined and properly trained, thanks to the training techniques from Master Kim. I am glad that my nephew and niece now have the agility for self defense.
Master Kim instills not just the skills required for taekwondo but also the skills to lead a better life . My kids have learnt to be more disciplined in general and a lot more respectful to other and their opinions.
What a wonderful place where my little one can learn discipline, respect and get some physical exercise at the same time. We have been at home for too long and this place is just a nice outlet for his energy. While we wait for them nice shops nearby solves my dinner, grocery and liquor needs too.
My son goes to taekwondo here and he gets a great workout from here. This is a great place to take your child since they are very encouraging. It is great to take your child to make them more confident. Such a great place to get taught by Master Kim!
Your first taekwondo class at JD Kim's Taekwondo Academy
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.
