The classes they run
“My kids started going with Master Jeong and Master Jo since we moved to Ridgefield 7 years ago and I can't be grateful enough for their dedication toward all their students.”
“He did not want to participate durning the initial trial, so we took the recommendation and had him start with private lessons.”
What students say
“Master Jo and Master Jeong are professional, knowledgeable and excellent teachers.”

“My son is stubborn. We love the “focus”, “following instruction” and “respect” pieces of this place and think it’s exactly what our son needs.”

From the reviews
Beginning classes at World Class Taekwondo has been the best thing for my two children! They have both grown in confidence, respect, strength and patience. They love going to their classes. The Masters are incredible with their students. I recommend taekwondo at WCT to all of our friends!

Master Jeong and Master Jo are very professional; they not only teach kids taekwondo but also help build their characters, fostering qualities like confidence, respect for each other, and self-control. Because the little one loves learning taekwondo, somehow his brother is also influenced by him.
Awesome place , dedicated masters .My daughter recently joined and she is loving it . Apart from teaching Taekwondo the art , they try to educate young minds on the meaning and importance of Taekwondo, have discipline and respect for everyone , shaping them to become good human beings . Pls keep up the good work...
New to taekwondo? Start at Jeong’s World Taekwondo Academy
Jeong’s World Taekwondo Academy 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 Jeong’s World 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.
