From the reviews

It has been an amazing experience for my 9 year old so far! His confidence and skill have grown leaps and bounds in just a couple short months. The instructors have been incredible and patient, and can rally and instruct a rowdy group of kiddos, which takes a LOT of skill.

★★★★★ — Kimi, Jan 2022

Fantastic! All if the instructors are great. Dedicated to what they do and meet each person at their level while pushing them to succeed. Excellent lessons in integrity, perseverance, and confidence.

★★★★★ — Amber-Lee, May 2022

We have had the best experience!!! My son is 8 and started in February of 2021. He loooves it!!! He would go 7 days a week if possible. The instructors are absolutely the GREATEST!!!! My son has learned so much in these months. We have started adding more goals and lists of responsibilities to our everyday schedule.

★★★★★ — Chewy, Jun 2021

Really just a great place. Great space, instructors and culture. My kid loves it after 2 months, I have a feeling we will go here for years. It's a great workout, learning experience and the belt tests are no joke. We had a school teacher notice our boys focus at school was better since he started here.

New to taekwondo? Start at KENTUCKY TAEKWONDO

KENTUCKY 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 KENTUCKY 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.

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.
