From the reviews
Master Paul is an excellent instructor who gets along well with children. I appreciate how he teaches our kids to respect each other, their elders, as well as how defend themselves.
Master Paul is genuinely a great teacher, not just for martial arts (which he is a 5th degree black belt in TKD) but also for valuable life lessons and good advice. He connects with his students and truly cares about their personal growth and character development.
My son has been training with Master Paul for over a year, now towards a 3rd degree. As a 5th degree black belt, Master Paul is able to impart a depth of knowledge to students training from white belt and beyond.
Outstanding!!! Me and my 4.5 year old son went to 6 different martial arts class in the area before finding my focus taekwondo. Instructor Courtney is exceptional! It's so beautiful to see someone who is doing what they are meant to do... there is so much heart in her instruction.
New to taekwondo? Start at My Focus Taekwondo - Yucaipa
My Focus Taekwondo - Yucaipa 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 My Focus Taekwondo - Yucaipa
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.
