From the reviews
I've been attending Jeong's for about four years now. I strongly recommend this taekwondo studio to anyone of all ages. The instructors and school staff are great with children and the school has a strong sense of community.
I love this place so very much!! I have gone here for over five years and it has changed my life a ton! Very good place to learn taekwondo from
This is the best taekwondo studio and I have gone here for over four years- honestly amazing place to go and the instructors are wonderful
My son has been attending classes at Jeong’s Taekwondo for about 8 months. He was very timid, shy, and generally uncomfortable around large groups of people outside of family. He was easily intimidated (even by smaller/younger kids) so he often played alone at school.
New to taekwondo? Start at Leaders Taekwondo – Overland Park
Leaders Taekwondo – Overland Park comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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 Leaders Taekwondo – Overland Park
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.
