From the reviews

I am career Military and my professional and personal schedule is erratic at best for what I do making it difficult to find things for my Son to do that both builds character and provides great life skills while he is not with me.

★★★★★ — Mike, Jul 2016

US Taekwondo Center is an outstanding dojo filled with so many caring and generous people. I have been doing Taekwondo for ten years now and I am a third degree black belt.

★★★★★ — Amanda, Jan 2017

We recently started Taekwondo sessions for my daughter and husband, and we’re absolutely thrilled with the experience.. especially thanks to Master Amy! She is truly amazing: patient, energetic, and incredibly skilled at connecting with both kids and adults.

★★★★★ — Deborah, May 2025

My son needed an after school program; we chose USTC because it would expose him to martial arts and not only would he learn a sport but he would also develop his character, build self-confidence and self-discipline. I was in school full-time when he was enrolled and managing my family through a deployment.

New to taekwondo? Start at Park's U.S. Tae Kwon Do Center

Park's U.S. Tae Kwon Do Center 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 Park's U.S. Tae Kwon Do Center

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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
