From the reviews
Finding the right Taekwondo school has been a long journey for us, and we couldn’t be happier to have discovered Q’s Taekwondo in Puyallup. The level of instruction here is beyond impressive, and having a grandmaster directly involved is something truly special.
My 12 yo grandson came to live with us a year ago. He had a pretty difficult road to us and when I asked what activity he would like to participate in and he immediately said martial arts. Q's is right down the street from us and we are blessed to have found them.
This is an old school dojang. Where the students earn the next belt. Students are not tested just to provide additional income to the School. Students focus on techniques, forms, and sparring. Master Quiming is patient and concerned with each student. Puyallup is fortunate to have this school of Taekwondo here.
Ok it is official. I believe Q's Taekwondo is by far one of the best in all of the state if not the region. Not because of the facility or location, because of what is taught and instructed between those walls. We were fortunate enough to come across Q's while living in Puyallup and so glad we did.
New to taekwondo? Start at Q's Taekwondo
Q's Taekwondo comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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 Q's Taekwondo
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.
