We joined a couple months ago and are very impressed so far. We were hoping it would increase our daughter’s confidence and be a good outlet for all her energy. The whole team is very engaged, welcoming and supportive.

★★★★★ — Eric, Jan 2026

Master Wright is nothing short of amazing with the kids! As a life long teacher to young children myself, I can say that he is one of the best! His interactions and demeanor with the kids keeps them focused, engaged and begging to come back for more! We are more than happy with our decision to sign our twins up!

Your first taekwondo class at Master Chang's Martial Arts Headquarters

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.
