From the reviews
My kids have been doing the Little Tigers program for a half-year now, and they love it! They've grown so much so fast! Before signing up, neither was very active or brave. Now they run all over the place and don't hesitate to try new or difficult things.
I absolutely love this dojang! The location is great, next to plenty of places you can go to afterwards if you want, and the people at the dojang are wonderful! The master here is one of the best. The teaching style is great, whether it be for kids, teens or adults.
i am a student at Sun Tae Kwon do school and i have learned so much, not only about physical health but about respect and honesty too. it is a great experience and i know anyone looking for a great Tae Kwon do school near Danvers should really come here!!
We’ve struggled to find a physical activity that will hold our 6 year old’s attention. After just one month of Taekwondo we noticed a massive change in our son’s confidence and focus.
New to taekwondo? Start at Sun Taekwondo Academy
Sun Taekwondo Academy 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 Sun 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.
