From the reviews

My now 9 year old has been in the black belt program for 1.5years. She loves it!! We love the instructors and the influence they have had on our daughter. She has built self confidence, self discipline and respectful for herself and others through their instruction.

★★★★★ — Madison, Jul 2023

What an amazing program, full of heart, humor, fitness, structure, and striving. We feel fortunate to be a part of this community, which teaches children to become the best they can be by never giving up. Their motto, “a black belt is just a white belt that didn’t quit,” says it all.

★★★★★ — Sally, Oct 2025

Sunrise Taekwondo has been an outstanding place for my children to learn, grow, and build confidence. We have been attending for 5+ years. The instructors are incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in each student’s progress.

New to taekwondo? Start at Sunrise Taekwondo

Sunrise 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 Sunrise 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.

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.
