From the reviews

Enrolling my child to JSTC 6 years ago was the best thing ever. Master Yun’s knowledge, professional network, teaching skills and bonding with the kids are amazing. Aside from Taekwondo, he is specialized in child psychology. The competitive discipline Team Tigers is not an aspect you can find at every dojang.

★★★★★ — Baran, May 2025

If your goal is to have your child collect a lot of colorful belts as quick as possible, then JS tkd center is not for you. If you want your child to learn respect, discipline, and confidence while building strength, endurance and flexibility then I highly recommend JS TKD center.

★★★★★ — Al, May 2025

My kids have been training at JS Taekwondo for years and it's the best you will find around here. The students here are at a higher level because of the training from Master Yun. If you are serious about learning Taekwondo, this is the place to be.

★★★★★ — Lily, May 2025

I would give more stars if I could! Master Yun is amazing. I am 41 years old and taking taekwondo for the first time. He is nothing but patient and his students couldnt be nicer. My kids take classes and they are learning and growing so much because of how incredible Master Yun is with them.

Your first taekwondo class at JS Taekwondo Center

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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
