From the reviews
Staff is great, very caring and supportive; fostering growth, learning, strength, courage, self-esteem, friendship, and discipline. The kids learn so much more than just Taekwondo. They ensure that there are enough instructors to give all the kids attention and instruction.
Master Do is great! My 3 kids are doing the program right now! Its really good not only for exercise but for self esteem, self defense and obedience. They do a wonderful job teaching kids respect and self control!
Great place to exercise, as a member there they have a poster inside showing where and when is the next big tournament near the location. They recently added a system where you have to do twenty classes to get their next belt which is better than the student just showing up for one week and getting the next belt.
I don’t know how the place will be after Master Kim comes in, but I appreciate the place. I don’t understand why Mr. Do put the white, orange, and yellow belts with the camo, green, purple, and blue belts, but alright.
Your first taekwondo class at OC Family Martial Arts
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.
