From the reviews
My son has been a student at Master Khechen's since last Spring. From the very start, I've been so impressed with the staff, school and programs. The instructors genuinely care for the students and teach them things beyond martials arts.
My 2 kids (ages 6 & 8) have been coming here for over a year now, and absolutely love it! They look forward to their classes which they attend twice a week, and love practicing at home. They even have my 3 year old practicing at home with them!
We have been going to the Hamburg location for a few years now. The classes are about so much more than just learning some cool moves. Master Wright and all of the instructors are such wonderful role models for the little kids.
It's a lovely place! I really enjoyed the women's self-defense class they offered to the community. The instructor is approachable, knowledgeable, and professional. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and fellow students are respectful and easy to work with.
New to taekwondo? Start at Master Khechen's Martial Arts Academy
Master Khechen's Martial Arts Academy 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 Khechen's Martial Arts 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.
