From the reviews
SKY Taekwondo is a great place to learn Taekwondo and to grow in discipline as well. It has a fun, calm and engaging atmosphere. Each class has their own unique activities to better learn TKD. All of the masters here are excellent at teaching students to grown and hone in their skills.
Master Park is an amazing instructor. Tae Kwon Do may seem hard at first, but if you persevere with Master Park, your discipline, strength, and confidence will greatly increase, while having fun. We learn forms, do weapons (after a while), and play games like dodgeball.
I have been doing tae kwon do for ten years with Master Park. It has been a great experience and he is a awesome instructor.
Very nice place for kids to learn the art. The instructors are patient and encouraging to the students. There are the just few instances where we noticed that the class is over-crowded (also a sign that more people love this place :) with multiple belts at the same time that space and time doesn't seem to suffice.
New to taekwondo? Start at SKY Taekwondo
SKY Taekwondo 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 SKY 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.
