From the reviews
I have multiple years experience across multiple schools and would not make a recommendation if it was not warranted. This school creates an environment that focuses on the positives while instilling fundamentals and discipline. The staff is friendly and encouraging to all students.
We are so happy we joined this dojo. A friend of mine is friends with the owner & started bringing her 4 year old for class. She kept raving about it, and I decided to also sign my 4 year old up for it. The respectful, calm and direct tone and manor of things throughout the gym shines.
We found this place through a neighbor and decided to take the two week trial for my son. He was super shy and cried during this two week trial. But after being consistent and the effort from Master Thomas, my son felt welcomed and eventually he (my son) came to the conclusion that this is a safe place.
We started classes here a month ago with our 5 year old and we are both really enjoying it! The staff here is so welcoming and friendly to make our experience interactive. As a parent, I like the discipline and structure with a fun balance of technique and drills.
New to taekwondo? Start at Team Kwon Taekwondo Center - Orange
Team Kwon Taekwondo Center - Orange 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 Team Kwon Taekwondo Center - Orange
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.
