From the reviews
Master Shin has been amazing when helping my daughter come out of her shell. Before we started, she didnt want to participate any extra curricular activities and was having trouble in school and with bullying.
My husband and I have been very happy with Tae Ryong Taekwondo Camarillo and it has been a great fit for our son. We were looking for a place that had the experience to teach children while also providing a positive environment with motivational instructors.
The best martial art studio in town. The masters (instructors) are super kind and enthusiastic. The grand master Shin has the highest belt, 9th degree black belt, and a most credited figure in the field of Taekwondo. They teach the genuine Korean martial art.
We looked at quite a few studios before landing on Tae Ryong. Master Shin balances structure, discipline, respect and fun which creates a well-rounded Taekwondo experience.
New to taekwondo? Start at Tae Ryong Taekwondo School
Tae Ryong Taekwondo School 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 Tae Ryong Taekwondo School
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.
