From the reviews
Thank you Mister Manolo and to my fellow teammate for helping me learn so much in a hour of taekwondo, I can't wait for what's to come! As well as to Miss Terry for helping me set up my first class. 🤍
This is the best martial arts school for kids! From the moment we walked in, we knew this was a safe, structured, and positive environment for our children to learn Taekwondo.
We’ve had our two children at KuGar Taekwondo for over a year and a half. My wife and I have been delighted to see their progress and dedication in a school that rewards performance and fosters responsibility in their students.
We tried a few before deciding on KuGar. The care and attention to detail that they put into their students is next level. We have been coming here for a few months and love how much they care for their students! I highly recommend them!! Shoutout to Mr. Angelo for being so patient and caring with our little man.
New to taekwondo? Start at KuGar Taekwondo
KuGar 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 KuGar 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.
