From the reviews
I'm so glad I found a great Taekwondo gym! My daughter tried many hobby classes, but she stuck with Taekwondo! It seems she really likes Taekwondo and the teachers and classmates here!
JKM has been an incredible first Tae Kwon Do experience for our 5 year old. Master Kang has taught our child basic principles for life that all children should learn. She has learned the meaning of discipline and that hard work pays off.
We signed our daughter up for classes to build self confidence, respect, strength and learn to focus. The positive and nurturing environment has succeeded our expectations and have helped her achieve her goals.
Signed my son up to get some extra activity, my son loves it. The master is beyond amazing with kids, his combination of fun and discipline on point. I actually think Master would make a great comedian.
Your first taekwondo class at JKM Martial Arts
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.
