From the reviews
I can’t recommend this Taekwondo school in McAllen enough! My kids have been attending classes here for a few weeks, and we’ve seen such a positive change in their confidence and discipline already. The instructors are incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and they truly care about each student’s progress.
This is a great school to train and learn at. From the fundamentals of taekwondo to Olympic level competitions, they are experienced in working with athletes of all ages.
I’ve been training at this Taekwondo school for 4 years now, and it has truly been an amazing experience. Master Song and Master Linda are absolutely awesome. They go above and beyond for their students and make training both challenging and enjoyable.
We’ve known Master Song since my kids were 5 and 7, and after years of training here he’s always been such a great role model for them. Now they are 14 and 17. Master Linda is also amazing — especially for young women — and she really focuses on building the right mentality for athletes.
New to taekwondo? Start at Team One Taekwondo
Team One Taekwondo comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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 One 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.
