From the reviews
Both of my children are enrolled at K-Taekwondo and under the teaching of Master Kwon. We couldn't be more pleased with the instruction that they are receiving. Not only are they learning the physical aspects of taekwondo, they are also learning the life principles of patience, discipline and perseverance.
Have been here a bit more than a month but Master Kwon is outstanding. She is a very energetic teacher who instills respect, leadership, discipline, and confidence in her students. She keeps the class fun with her teaching methods and the kids engaged. My son has really loved his time here.
Master Kwon and Master Chae are both amazing instructors! Trained in Korea, they came to the US to share their enthusiasm and expertise here. Both are amazing at tailoring instruction specifically to the student, and pushing you to your individual best.
From the beginning, it was a very good experience. This was my first taekwondo class ever, and I learned a lot. The class was really fun, and Master Kwon was very nice and welcoming. She even took the time to sit down with me and explain how the belt system works, which I really appreciated as a beginner.
New to taekwondo? Start at K-Taekwondo U.S Black Belt Center
K-Taekwondo U.S Black Belt Center 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 K-Taekwondo U.S Black Belt 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.
