From the reviews
Master Kang Taekwondo is a great martial arts studio. I appreciate how engaging and encouraging the masters are with the children. They hold great lessons my daughter determination to be better and do better. My daughter has been enrolled for almost a year and throughly enjoyed her time here.
I absolutely recommend this studio for you or your child. My son has been attending this tae kwon do studio for over three years and went from the little lion class to now having his first-degree black belt. The masters know exactly what they’re doing and are very thoughtful and kind to the kids.
Excellent place for Taekwondo! Master Kang and Master Yoo are great with the kids and patient! They have a variety of classes and is affordable. Can't say enough good things about this place!
I have nothing but great things to say about Master Kang’s. The Masters are so patient and amazing with the kids. The kids learn useful life skills (remembering phone numbers, addresses, etc.) before they can move from White belt to yellow. They make it fun & enjoyable for the kids to learn & the parents to watch.
New to taekwondo? Start at Master Kang Taekwondo
Master Kang Taekwondo 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 Kang 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.
