From the reviews
Both of my kids train here, and we are incredibly impressed with the quality of instruction. The teachers are warm, attentive, and amazingly skilled at connecting with each child—remembering their names and adapting lessons to meet them where they are.
Incredible Instructors and Program! My wife and I visited the school from out of town and I am very impressed with everything they do. Their facility is immaculate. Their instructors are very encouraging and friendly.
Jhoon Rhee Arlington has been a blessing to our two children for 6 years - bringing them through the pandemic and beyond it as active, positive, ambitious individuals who are strong in both body and mind. The curriculum is creative and rigorous, and the classes not only fun to take but also fun to watch!
We love their curriculum and instructors! Everyone is very friendly and they take really good care of your kids. We have our 7 year old and our 4 year old there. Our 7 year old son Manu has been going there since he was 4 and his transformation on a positive way was amazing.
New to taekwondo? Start at Jhoon Rhee Tae Kwon Do
Jhoon Rhee Tae Kwon Do 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 Jhoon Rhee Tae Kwon Do
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.
