From the reviews
We first discovered Taekwondo Way through a school raffle at our kids’ elementary school during a Fitness and Health Night, and we’re so glad we did. What started as an activity for my daughters quickly became something we all enjoy. After watching their growth, I decided to join too.
I studied taekwondo under Master Jung at the Taekwondo Way location in Mukilteo. He is fun and energetic. His teaching skills with both children and adults is top notch. I will miss training under him at Mukilteo, yet I am happy for his new students in Bothell.
It's a brand new taekwondo place & very clean ! Our son(5) just started Taekwondo Way in May. Since it's new business, There are small groups available for kids. You kids will get attention and individualized!!
Our family absolutely loves Taekwondo Way! My two kids and I all train here, and it has been such a rewarding experience for each of us - building confidence, focus, and perseverance while having fun together! Master Jung and the entire team are incredibly professional, patient, and encouraging.
New to taekwondo? Start at Taekwondo Way
Taekwondo Way 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 Way
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.
