From the reviews

first of all I would like to share two experiences with this establishment. for a few months I had been looking for a really good school to take my son to, I was looking for multiple attributes that the school had to have, as I my self had been a black belt of Shotokan karate.

★★★★★ — Mohamed, Dec 2017

Master Ali is so wonderful with children. He and the rest of the staff there are sweet, kind and personable. They make my son very excited to come back. Since my son started going there, his behavior and school grades increased dramatically.

★★★★★ — Aiman, Dec 2017

Koubeissi Tae Kwon Do School is one of the most prestigious Martial Arts Schools in all of Michigan. The instructor Master Ali Koubeissi has lead multiple groups of students through Michigan State Championships and through National Championships. He teaches students discipline and respect.

★★★★★ — Nour, Dec 2017

For as long as I can remember this school has had its arms open to any student willing to learn. With the credentials of the Master far exceeding many other trainers in the State and even the country I gave it a shot. I was greeted with open arms, and happy smiles, and a will to teach me and make me great.

★★★★★ — Ali, Dec 2017

New to taekwondo? Start at Koubeissi Tae Kwon DO School

Koubeissi Tae Kwon DO School 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 Koubeissi Tae Kwon DO School

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.
