From the reviews
I can’t say enough good things about my family’s experience with Master Heejae Yoo and Master Miju Kim. They are kind and caring people who happen to also be excellent at teaching Taekwondo. My children started at ages 4 & 5. Both were successful at competing in form and breaking techniques.
We are extremely pleased with the quality of instruction and character that we have experienced at Master Kim’s WCTKD! The whole staff embodies these traits. Master Kim is patient, encouraging and funny! It makes class for the kids a blast while learning.
I can’t even describe how much of an impact Master Yoo’s World Champion Tae Kwon Do has made on my family. My 6 year old son has anxiety and has gained confidence, respect, and an outlet through this program. Master Yoo and Master Kim are incredibly talented, knowledgeable, patient, and caring.
If you’re looking for great Masters for your children/family to learn Taekwondo, look no further. My boys and I completed our black belt journey under Master Yoo and Master Kim and it was the best decisions we made together.
New to taekwondo? Start at Master Yoo's World Champion Tae Kwon Do
Master Yoo's World Champion Tae Kwon Do 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 Yoo's World Champion 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.
