From the reviews
I rarely leave reviews, but sometimes when the place is exceptional, I take time to review so that other people can benefit from my reviews. My child is overweight and for many years we struggled to find a place that my child would be accepted, would love to be physically active, and would strive to be better person…
Went for the first time yesterday with a client of mine who was interested. My client has IDD and i must say....... what an awesome experience for both him and I .. John (the instructor) and his wife were made aware of my client and they treated him with the upmost respect! They were welcoming and friendly.
Master Hayes is amazing. Discipline, self control, structured class by age. His respect towards every single parent/grandparent is greatly appreciated. Kids don't just train here. They become a better person in many aspects of life.
This school is awesome. Master Hayes and Mrs. Hayes give their all. Love the traditional values taught here. The price is right. This kind of place is hard to find these days and so pleased we found them.
New to taekwondo? Start at Taeguk Taekwondo
Taeguk 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 Taeguk 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.
