From the reviews
I was one of Master Jackson's original student's when he first began teaching at the local Henderson recreation center in 2001. I stayed with "M.J." at first for 5 years, earning the rank all the way up to a "skunk belt.
I work, teach, train, learn, and grow here. I've trained under Master Dan Jackson for over a decade and would unequivocally reccomed this martial arts studio to anyone looking to improve his or her life.
I started taking my son here about 4 years ago after he was at an ATA taekwondo center that worked on up selling me at every practice and constant parent pressure.
Our son (8) has been attending karate classes at the DoJANG for almost 1.5 years -- providing a constructive way for him to not only channel his energy and love of competition, but also work on developing his character. Everyone at the DoJANG is fantastic!
New to taekwondo? Start at The DoJANG
The DoJANG 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 The DoJANG
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.
