From the reviews

Fantastic class that helped direct my sons energy in the right direction. They start and end the class with a game that helps the kids warm up prior to the training. The instructors are professional and disciplined but also give each kid individual attention. I would definitely recommend enrolling kids to this class.

King Taekwondo is absolutely awesome. My daughter started in kindergarten and is now in 2nd grade. She has worked hard and is now a blue belt. She has gained self esteem and learned respect for her self and others. She has also learned how defend herself against harm from others. The staff are awesome too.

My` name is Robert, and my 9-year-old son are very happy with "King Taekwondo" . It is a very well ran team, very polite and organized. I see they care for there students, never hesitate to spend a few minute after class to help a student achieve his/her goal.

New to taekwondo? Start at King Taekwondo

King 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 King 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.
