From the reviews
One of the nicest places for the kids to learn Taekwondo. Masters are wonderful, very patient in making the kids understand the technique and very helpful during testing time too . They give enough chances during the testing and very accommodative for the class reschedule.
My son has been going for about eight months now, and the change in him is night and day. He used to be shy and hesitant, but the instructors at TG have brought out a confidence I didn’t know he had. They’re patient, encouraging, and really connect with the kids, which makes all the difference.
TG Taekwondo is the best taekwondo school in town. Both of my sons learned taekwondo from here. They loved and enjoyed learning here. The masters always are enthusiastic and they care for the students. Master Kim is a excellent taekwondo instructor and all the kids love learning from him.
My sons have been learning taekwondo for 4 years now. The biggest takeaway for me is their sparring abilities. Master Kim is a top practitioner and even recently won a bronze medal at the US Open taekwondo championships. Highly recommend this place!
New to taekwondo? Start at TG TAEKWONDO
TG 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 TG 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.
