Coming from a martial arts family background, I'm amazed how well the instructors are with the children. They keep them engaged, remember all the names and the kids love them.

★★★★★ — Thebassworld100, Dec 2017

I love Hapkido for my 7-year-old boy. Hapkido has taught my son more than just basic fighting and karate moves. Hapkido helps teach and reinforce respect for other people and respect for places of learning. Hapkido also teaches the importance of self-awareness and the surroundings.

★★★★★ — Jen, Feb 2025

Both Castle brothers are good with the kids, my son is learning so much. Mr. Reece is also great with the kids. They keep the kids honest doing all their workout exercises and stretches correctly and safely or they practice the sit-up and push ups again in class.

Your first taekwondo class at Kim's Hapkido

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.
