From the reviews
We’ve had such a great experience with this Taekwondo program! One of the things I appreciate most is the strong emphasis on discipline and respect. The values they teach focus, responsibility, and self-control have made a real impact on my son, and we’ve been able to carry those lessons into other parts of his daily…
This place has been amazing! My son has improved in his attention, organization and discipline, Master Kang is truly a great teacher, my son loves coming here and he will continue to attend this place and hopefully gets his black belt!
Both of my kids attend this studio. It has probably been one of the best decisions I have ever made it relation to their development. When I first started bringing them it was probably more about something for them to do. But as they progressed, I started seeing parts of their lives drastically improve.
My son has now been at Kang’s Sunrise Taekwondo for four years now. In this time he has not only learned taekwondo and become a Blackbelt but he also has developed discipline, confidence and self defense.
New to taekwondo? Start at Kang's Sunrise Taekwondo
Kang's Sunrise Taekwondo 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 Kang's Sunrise Taekwondo
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.
