From the reviews
Master Bob not only loves Taekwondo, he loves teaching people of all ages the art as well creating enthusiasm in my child who attends this school. Master Bob's charisma and dedication to what he does shows in every shred of his classes. I made a wise decision signing my son up for classes here!!
I signed up my son at Kwan Tae Kwon Do and I was nervous because my son is so passive and I thought he would want to quit, but Master Pearsall made him feel welcome and comfortable and so confident. My son loves going to class. He's doing so well!
Signing my son up for classes at Kwan Taekwando has been such a great addition to my son’s busy schedule. Master Pearsall provides a high level of passion and energy mixed in with all the elements needed for students to learn and be engaged. My son never wants to miss a class!
My son is been learning Taekwando from Master Pearsall & Master John since he was 4 years old. Currently he is in freshman in high school and holds 2nd degree black belt and getting trained to obtain 3rd degree black belt.
New to taekwondo? Start at Kwan Tae Kwon DO
Kwan Tae Kwon DO 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 Kwan Tae Kwon DO
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.
