From the reviews
We have had the most positive experience having our young student begin instruction with Taekwondo Way. The "Taekwon-Jo" program is clearly well structured with an understanding of early childhood development and their age appropriate needs (4y-6y).
The best taekwondo studio in Snohomish county. All 3 of my children and myself have gone to Taekwondo Way for years. They have taught them all Respect, Discipline. Perseverance, Self Control, Courtesy, and to have an Indomitable Spirit.
Excellent school, Master Kim and the instructors focus on character development for students. While instilling discipline they make the classes so fun for kids! Would really recommend anyone that needs a trustworthy martial arts school!
Master Kim is SO good with the kids and gives them all their moment to shine! Proper technique is practiced and its made fun for the kids!
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.
