From the reviews
Excellent!! My son and I were fortunate to train under Master Lee for the past 2 1/2 years. During this time, our stamina, agility, physical/mental strength, and flexibility increased tremendously. My son gained more confidence, his attention to his studies improved, and his self discipline increased.
Best workout that will significantly improve your flexibility and calm mind. Training involves body weight workout and flexibility training that will align posture as well as build up strong mind. Master Lee is absolutely one of the best TKD trainer
Master Lee is an excellent and very talented Taekwondo instructor that knows how to bring out the best in you! Master Lee’s skills and knowledge of Kukkiwon Taekwondo is very evident when you first meet him and “Taekwondo Spirit” is a factual description of the feeling you have after every training session.
Very Professional and Informative Master! I needed both workout and motivations for my daily life and Master in this studio is very encouraging and energetic! I love the spirit and mood of this place and definitely recommend this place for children AND adults.
New to taekwondo? Start at Taekwondo Spirit
Taekwondo Spirit 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 Taekwondo Spirit
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.
