From the reviews
Hats off to Master Kim, Grand Master Kim and Master Blair for the great teaching of Taekwondo. They constantly motivate the students to do better and best. My son started when he was just 4 and with master’s focused approach, he is now more stronger and confident in his green belt.
Just signed up my 4yo for the little tigers class and it’s great!! The instructors are very engaging and kind. There are a bunch of volunteer students helping the class students which is really helpful! Love it so far!!
JK Taekwondo has some awesome masters, specially Master Kim. Very detailed and meticulous in training the kiddos learn their Taekwondo steps.
JK Taekwondo is an outstanding place for kids to learn and grow! My son has been going there for a year, and he absolutely loves it, even the challenges. The child-friendly approach, combined with instructors who are incredibly friendly and responsive, creates a supportive environment that encourages self-growth.
Your first taekwondo class at JK Taekwondo Martial Arts 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.
