From the reviews
If you’re looking for a place to build confidence, character and learn Taekwondo, then this is the place! Master Kim and the other instructors are AMAZING at what they do. Our 6 year old daughter has been going for a while now and it has turned into a healthy obsession of hers, and easily her favorite thing to do.
Master Kim’s Taekwondo has been an absolute blessing for my son, Alex. He started in kindergarten, and now he is getting ready to go into 3rd grade. Over the years, we have seen so much growth in his confidence, discipline, respect, and focus both inside and outside of class.
Our daughter has been attending Master J. Kim's TKD School since age 5 and now, 7+ years later, it has been an incredible journey. She’s gained confidence, made lifelong friends, and always feels welcomed.
My son has been going to Master Kim since he was 5 years old. Now my son is 11. We went from a very unfocused kid to a big focused and driven preteen. We can't say enough great things about Master Kim and his team. Finding Master Kim has easily been one of the best things to ever happen to our family.
New to taekwondo? Start at Master J. Kim's Taekwondo Education
Master J. Kim's Taekwondo Education comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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 J. Kim's Taekwondo Education
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.
