From the reviews
My son has been taking TaeKwonDo lessons for a few years. Master Eric makes learning fun while holding high standards for the kids as students and as being good people as they progress through the levels. He inspires my son, is supportive and a positive role model.
We took our time to find the right place to take both our kids to learn Taekwondo skills and we are so glad we picked Master Eric’s World Champion Taekwondo. It is such a wonderful school and all the instructors/staff are amazing!
Taekwondo has been an amazing experience for my son! Master Eric shows immense care and love for kids, creating a supportive environment where children can really thrive. This facility does not only teach Taekwondo but also instill important values like discipline, respect, and perseverance.
Our kids had taken other sports classes when we tried Master Eric's gym and we were blow away at what he was teaching them. We committed our 3 children to the black belt program and after over a year they still love it. The valuable lessons they are learning will stay with them their entire lives.
New to taekwondo? Start at Master Eric's World Champion Taekwondo
Master Eric's World Champion Taekwondo 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 Eric's World Champion Taekwondo
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.
