From the reviews
I cannot speak more highly of everything about our experience here. Our oldest loves it so much our youngest insisted on joining as well. The Masters are kind, knowledgeable, caring, and just firm enough to instill all the values that come with this martial art.
NY Taekwondo is the absolute best! They are terrific, wonderful teachers and mentors who care about their students physical, emotional and psychological well being and growth. They excel at working with children with special needs, such as my nephew who has some autistic needs and low muscle tone.
Master Un is the best!! Extremely welcoming, so good with children. My daughter loves coming to the class, and with her needs he’s accommodating and tough all at the same time. It’s everything you want for your kids. Highly recommend!
Love the Master's professionalism and the way he teaches!! Very motivating for kids!!
New to taekwondo? Start at New York Taekwondo Un’s Dragon
New York Taekwondo Un’s Dragon 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 New York Taekwondo Un’s Dragon
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.
