From the reviews
Excellent Place for kids and Adults to learn from Great Taekwondo instructors! Our Kids love coming to Class!
Master Jim’s Taekwondo class strikes an incredible balance between discipline, physical skills, and personal growth. His attentive instruction and dedication are evident in my son’s improvement, both in his Taekwondo skills and self-confidence. The class schedule is flexible, and the facilities are well-kept.
Master Jim is a wonderful teacher that has helped my son grow so much in the past year. Understanding his quiet and shy nature, Master Jim has great patience for him, challenges and pushes him to improve without overwhelming him. My son is now much more confident and outspoken.
My grandson has been with Master Jim for 20 months. His (my grandson) flexibility is amazing, and he feels that he can defend himself now if he needs too. The Instructor's are very good with the children and we enjoy working with all of them.
Your first taekwondo class at Master Jim's Taekwondo Academy
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.
