From the reviews

I consider myself a lucky parent when 9 years ago, Legacy Tae Kwon Do was recommended to me by a friend. Legacy Tae Kwon Do provides children the ability to feel incorporated in a family-friendly environment.

★★★★★ — Sahar, Jul 2018

When I walked inside Legacy Tae Kwon Do, my first question to Master Ami was whether we start as a black or white belt. Fast-forward 9 years later, and I have obtained a black belt, perform in local demos, compete in local tournaments, and volunteer at "Lodi's Best Summer Camp".

★★★★★ — Samy, Jul 2018

Legacy Tae Kwon Do is more than just a Martial Arts school. They teach discipline, respect, morals and of course Tae Kwon Do. Masters Ami and David truly care about each and every one of their students and take the time to check in with each of them individually. Their love of the sport is apparent and shines through.

★★★★★ — Anastasia, Jul 2018

This is a wonderful school teaching the art of Taekwondo. We signed our daughter up there last year and she absolutely loves it! I can’t emphasize enough how GREAT Master Amy is!

Your first taekwondo class at Legacy 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.

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.
