From the reviews

If it were possible to give this place 10 stars I would. They don’t just teach the kids TKD. They teach them respect for themselves. Respect for their parents. Respect for their community. My sons behavior improved within weeks of starting here.

★★★★★ — Adrienne, Jun 2023

Master K. Kim is a great teacher who will help you with anything. When I first started Taekwondo one and a half years ago, I wasn’t confident in myself and was out of shape. Now, I am happy and healthy. I have lost 40 pounds under Master K Kim’s instruction. He makes classes fun and is a serious teacher.

★★★★★ — Christian, Oct 2022

The business is very good and the people are very nice and friendly and it’s all ways clean and Master Kim is very positive Person and the best teacher ever,I learned a lot of thing from him and I will never regret joining TKD.

★★★★★ — Sidra, Jan 2024

Master K Kim is fantastic! My son started as a little tiger when he was 4. The classes have helped his confidence and his coordination. He is now 6 and continues to learn and grow his taekwondo skills.

New to taekwondo? Start at Master Kim’s Martial Arts - Mason

Master Kim’s Martial Arts - Mason 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 Kim’s Martial Arts - Mason

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.
