From the reviews
Life Champ is absolutely great! The interaction with the staff are great. My daughter goes for the virtual school age support program and she loves it. Not only is she able to get her work done but also learn Taekwondo and some Korean language. With the pandemic it has been hard but they make it easy.
My son and daughter have been members since little champ age 3 and 4 years old. They are now 5 and 7. They both love the experience. Even with Covid I am so impressed with the zoom Course integration which kept classes a float with minimal impact. Master Kim is a amazing a real Gem. His daughters also participate.
My daughter started Life Champ in September for the virtual day school program and I could not be happier that we chose to put her there. Between the staff in the morning that helps with the school day to the instructions in the afternoon leading taekwondo class, they are all so great with the kids and genuinely care…
Mr Dumont has been amazing to work with. My daughter loves seeing him every class and I appreciate the way he always knows how to get the best out of her. Everyone who works at Kingstowne has become like a second family to us over the past 3 years
New to taekwondo? Start at Life Champ Martial Arts - Kingstowne
Life Champ Martial Arts - Kingstowne 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 Life Champ Martial Arts - Kingstowne
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.
