From the reviews
From the first day to now Master Kim has provided motivation, structure, and a fun atmosphere for my son. And that means a lot, considering my kid’s attention span. I recommend have adults and children attend his class, even to observer. The space is modern, and clean, but rooted in tradition.
Master Kim’s TKD is great, the structure, discipline and confidence taught in class is A+. Master Kim and Master Jim are both very talented and extremely involved with all the students. We felt very welcomed the first time we brought our daughter.
I can't recommend Master Kim’s World Tae Kwon Do highly enough! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the positive and encouraging energy that sets this school apart.
Master Kim’s Taekwondo class has been an incredible experience for our family. From the very first day, we saw how much he cares about each student’s development not just in martial arts, but as respectful, confident, and disciplined individuals.
New to taekwondo? Start at Master Kim's World Tae Kwon Do - Cypress
Master Kim's World Tae Kwon Do - Cypress 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 Tae Kwon Do - Cypress
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.
