From the reviews
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to you for the wonderful training and support you have provided to my 6-year-old daughter. Since joining your club, she has not only made great progress in her Taekwondo skills but has also grown in confidence, discipline, and focus.
My 9 yr old son has attended Joon Lee Tae Kwon Do for the last year and a half. He's learned a great deal on the art as well as moral and social development. I hope he continues to love it, it's exciting to see him develop. I feel it's important to build character.
EVERYTHING! I can not say enough good things about this place! To begin, the instructors (Sir’s) are truly one of a kind! Master Jared is extremely patient yet stern When needed in class. You will notice on the first day a difference in your child.
My daughter loves Joon Lee's! The very first day we saw an instant increase in her ability to listen and respect of people and property. Master Jared excels at maintaining the students attention, involvement, and fun. I'm impressed that every level of student interacts with each other.
New to taekwondo? Start at Joon Lee's Taekwondo & Martial Arts School
Joon Lee's Taekwondo & Martial Arts School 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 Joon Lee's Taekwondo & Martial Arts School
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.
