From the reviews

I've been coming to Moodo since June. Never before had I ever been addicted to working out, exercising and training in general. Moodo changed all that. Their martial arts program is comprehensive, educational and incredibly rich (physically and mentally).

★★★★★ — Eva, Dec 2023

My child started Studio Moodo this year. This has become the best decision we have made. The Moodo community has helped my child gain confidence, learn discipline, to always be honest with himself and others in all tasks, and has taught him how to become humble in all aspects of life.

★★★★★ — Jessica, Aug 2025

Absolutely changed my life, I have never felt better, looked better, and ate better. I go often because I love it so much and incorporating Studio Moodo into my schedule is one of the best decisions I've ever made, thank you Studio Moodo and John Kim for teaching me discipline, humility, and how to kick butt!

★★★★★ — Willow, Dec 2023

New to taekwondo? Start at Studio Moodo (Martial Arts & Wellness )

Studio Moodo (Martial Arts & Wellness ) 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 Studio Moodo (Martial Arts & Wellness )

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.
