I am soo thankful I found this practice. Amongst other key areas of my well being, Oom Yung Doe added a key piece to my mind, body and spirit. My whole self is improved and continues to develop skills each week. Mindful and present. Instructor Wade has made such an impact.

I have studied traditional Tai Chi and this form is different, more martial arts based, yet accessible and very enjoyable. Practice with Instructor Wade has improved my strength, balance and flexibility tremendously.
Practicing OYD has been a great benefit to my general wellness. I highly recommend this Martial Arts School. Practicing 8 distinct identifiable Martial Arts taught as 1 has been a major success. I look forward to each class as they are fresh and exciting to discover and develop.
New to taekwondo? Start at Oom Yung Doe - 8 Martial Arts - Burlington, VT
Oom Yung Doe - 8 Martial Arts - Burlington, VT 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 Oom Yung Doe - 8 Martial Arts - Burlington, VT
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.
