From the reviews
My son has been attending this studio for the last 3 years and it has been great. The teachers are very experienced with kids of all ages and all the classes are age appropriate and fun. He has learnt a great deal and is well on his way to becoming a black belt soon.
My daughter has been attending since 2024 and has had a great experience. Prior to joining Tae Ryong, we'd been having hit and miss experiences with sport activities; taekwondo hit a nice sweet spot for us, balancing group-oriented participation with individual achievement.
My three sons have been a part of the Tae Ryong family for over a year. I have seen them grow and develop not only physically (strength, coordination, balance) but also mentally (confidence, mindfulness, perseverance, focus, mental flexibility).
We’ve had a wonderful experience at Tae Ryong Tae Kwon Do studio. My 6-year-old son has been coming here for almost a year now, and he absolutely loves it. He looks forward to every class and has learned so much—not only in Tae Kwon Do skills, but also in discipline, confidence, and respect.
New to taekwondo? Start at Tae Ryong Taekwondo
Tae Ryong 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 Tae Ryong 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.
