From the reviews
We enrolled our 4 yr old. At first we weren't sure if he was old enough to follow instructions. But Master Knight & Master Randall are very good in teaching that age group to focus. We are very happy with the results & confident that we signed him up in a very good program.
My boys have been attending King Tiger for 4 years. I cannot even begin to describe the amazing changes in both of them. They are transforming from boys to respectful young men.
King Tiger Tae Kwon Do of North Charlotte is an absolute gem in the community! Master Terrance Evins is an outstanding instructor and leader who brings unmatched energy, experience, and passion to everything he does.
Can't say enough good things about this dojang. My older son started with their program 19 years ago in their afterschool and we loved it. Through the years as a family we have trained and attended camps here.
New to taekwondo? Start at King Tiger Tae Kwon Do of North Charlotte
King Tiger Tae Kwon Do of North Charlotte 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 Tiger Tae Kwon Do of North Charlotte
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.
