From the reviews

@jenny, I'm looking for a new dojo to train and happen to read your review. As a parent of 3 I understand the initial thinking but you are wrong. Your job was to teach your child respect above all, specially to a sensei who is trying to teach a valuable lesson that you did not implement properly at home.

My son is almost a black belt in Master Kang’s Taekwondo Center, and he loves it. You do learn a lot of the art taekwondo, kicks, punches and blocks. There are additional things like sparring. In the end of class sometimes dodgeball, chicken fight and more.

★★★★★ — Ryan, Dec 2022

Best place for taekwondo. Master Kang teaches directly from young to old and is highly decorated in the arts of Taekwondo. You’re not getting students teaching like other places.

★★★★★ — Sean, Dec 2023

Would recommend this class for the kids to get better out of them such as discipline and workout their strength. Master is flexible in class whether it comes to student or payment or schedule the class. One of the best class in Edison area. Easily reachable and discuss with master on the progress of the kid.

New to taekwondo? Start at Master Kang's TaeKwonDo Martial Arts Center

Master Kang's TaeKwonDo Martial Arts Center 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 Kang's TaeKwonDo Martial Arts Center

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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
