From the reviews
My 6-year-old son has been at Master Shin’s for 7 months, and the progress is remarkable. Master Shin’s teaching style is firm but fair, and he has a great sense of humor that makes the lessons a lot of fun. Beyond just Taekwondo techniques, I’ve seen a real boost in my son's confidence and persistence.
We have had a wonderful experience at Shin’s Taekwondo Academy. My daughter Chloe has been attending for about a year and a half, and she truly enjoys every class. Master Shin does an excellent job creating a structured environment with strong discipline, while still being encouraging and supportive.
My son Josh has been attending the 5 year old class for the past 5 months and it has been a great experience for him. Master Shin does a nice job of teaching Tae Kwon Do, discipline and respect in a way that is also playful and fun, when appropriate, with the kids.
We were lucky to stumble on Shin's Taekwondo Academy. I was looking for a program that would encourage skills like focus, attention, dedication and hard work. Master Shin has created an environment that fosters all those things, and more.
Your first taekwondo class at Shin's Taekwondo Academy
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.
