From the reviews
I'm surprised at the lack of reviews! This is a wonderful martial arts school. I'm an adult student who has been a part of this school since January of this year, when I decided to finally make my dream of being a martial artist come true.
When we got to Ft.Drum I knew that I needed to find a place that would fit with my sons busy schedule. He loves sports! We went to every place in the area. When I walked into Sunset Taekwondo I knew this was the place for my son.
We could not be more happy to have found Sunset Tae Kwon Do! Our family has been enrolled with Sunset for about 2 years now, and it has felt like a home since day one. The instructors go above and beyond to teach the core values and techniques of Tae Kwon Do, and have created an incredible family atmosphere.
My kids and I can't say enough about Sunset Taekwondo! They accepted us like family when we signed up and have taught us amazing core values! An even bigger plus is during this insane time in our lives they have been a constant...with regular zoom classes,fun for the kids and challenges to keep us all busy!
New to taekwondo? Start at Sunset Tae Kwon Do
Sunset Tae Kwon Do 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 Sunset Tae Kwon Do
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.
