From the reviews
Master's Taekwondo Academy has been our favorite place for over a year already! Master Tom is an expert in his field, and also very kind person and attentive to each student. My daughter Milana, trains there and improves her fighting skills almost every day.
Master Tom Jang is amazing with not just our son for the past 8 years but with kids (and adults) of all ages. Our son started at 8 years old and is 16 years old now and hopefully testing soon for his 3rd degree black belt.
experience for our daughter. The instructor do an amazing job teaching not only Taekwondo techniques but also important life skills like perseverance, respect, and self-confidence. The atmosphere is welcoming and motivating, and every student is encouraged to do their best.
Masters Tea Kwon Do is more than a place to send kids for an hour or 2. It helps teach kids to be more responsible and respectful. Maser Jang is a very patient and mature master who also likes to have fun at times. This is a truly good place to be. I personally have done Tea Kwon Do for 4 years and I love it.
New to taekwondo? Start at Master's Taekwondo Academy
Master's Taekwondo Academy 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's Taekwondo 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.
