From the reviews
My son Tomás has been going to Master Chang’s Martial Arts for about 9 months an he absolutlely loves it. We, as parents love it too. We can see how positivie the impact of everything they teach has been for our son. The instructors are caring and supportive and it feels like a family to us . We totally recommend it.
Master Chang's Martial Arts is awesome! From the onboarding process to the classes and promotions, everything is great! Master Rashad is one of the best masters in the area. He's been doing Taekwondo for over 15 years and it shows in his teachings!
My son has been taking lessons for about a year and I have seen wonderful changes in him. He is a typical 7 year old boy with too much energy and they have taught him discipline and respect as well as amazing martial arts skills. All of the masters are wonderful and they make him feel like a part of the family.
Master You has made our experience at Master Changs a great one. My daughter was shy but really wanted to try something fun with other kids and she has blossomed in class. They have been so patient with her and encourage and celebrate her every step of the way!
New to taekwondo? Start at Master Chang's Martial Arts Kildaire Farm
Master Chang's Martial Arts Kildaire Farm 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 Master Chang's Martial Arts Kildaire Farm
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.
