From the reviews

Our son is really enjoying his Kicking Tigers classes. He is learning a lot and having tons of fun while doing it. Master Hall is really good with the kids. He has a great sense of humor. The class atmosphere is encouraging, never intimidating. He gets the kids to work hard without getting stern and cranky.

★★★★★ — Edmundo, Feb 2015

My son started taking Taekwondo through the Homeschool Learning Center in August/September with Master Hall. I was instantly blown away by the organization, reward system, and curriculum. It provides structure and teaches self-control and respect among many other things (fire safety, stanger safety, etc...

★★★★★ — The, Dec 2015

I've been with this school for almost 2 years. Over the course of these years, the school as a whole has become like a second family, as I'm away from home in the military. Master Hall is an incredibly exceptional and knowledgeable instructor, and it shows through his teaching and all the other instructors.

★★★★★ — John, Dec 2016

I had my oldest son in Kicking Tigers years ago. When I had my second son there was no where else I would have considered taking him. Master Hall is a great teacher. I appreciate the way all the staff have treated and worked with my kids.

Your first taekwondo class at Kicking Tigers USA 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.
