From the reviews
If you are looking for great workouts that will challenge you both mentally and physically with great friendly instructions that will work with you. Then Master Kim's is the place for you. If you are looking for lower intensity classes, they do offer family orientated classes with the same attention to details.
My nine-year-old son was in need of an external outlet to further grow and expand his self-confidence, and so, we sought out Master Kim's Program after reading the positive reviews found here.
My son has been going there for two years, and I decided to join in earlier this year. No matter how old or how young you are, the staff are very friendly and treat everyone equally with respect. And, no matter what your skill level is, they will work with you and also very accommodating.
Our son has been coming to Master Kim’s World Class Tae Kwon Do for just over a year. Master Kim and his instructors are amazing. They bring out the best in their students -teaching them more than just technical martial arts, but also respect, discipline, effort, focus, patience, and more.
New to taekwondo? Start at Master Kim's World Class Tae Kwon Do
Master Kim's World Class Tae Kwon Do 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 Kim's World Class Tae Kwon Do
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.
