From the reviews
As a former US Olympic judo coach, Master Koo is knowledgeable and a fantastic teacher. There are numerous classes for both children and adults. I appreciate the way he is able to motivate younger kids (like my daughter) who would otherwise have difficulty listening.

Master Koo was very good. My kid started Taekwondo with tiny tiger level and continuing after Black Belt 2. He encourages kids to participate in tournaments. Teaches self defense techniques, falling techniques in way kids gets attracted and shows interest. Lot more to tell.
Wonderful taekwondo school with a warm and professional environment. Master Koo is patient, encouraging, and truly cares about each child’s progress. Since joining, my child has become more confident, focused, and disciplined.
New to taekwondo? Start at JS Martial Arts
JS Martial Arts 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 JS 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.
