From the reviews
On Wednesday 12-10-25 the master became the student. 21 years after I turned over my school to Masters, Wisdom and Thomas, I went back to experience a TKD class as taught by my two senior Black Belts. It was a most excellent adventure! They have stayed true to the art.
This school has a great program. Friendly and caring instructors and Masters that give their time, energy and most of all patience to ALL of the students. Best family environment in my opinion.
We have been attending Tae Kwon Do Classes with The Journey TKD for about three years now. My child has worked up through the color belts and earned Black Belt! The instructors are well trained high degree Black Belts, with many years experience, and offer very high quality instruction in Tae Kwon Do.
Met with a welcome and a welcoming smile, a genuine one. The expression was entirely natural. The Master was happy to have me as a student, there was no political motive---get me into a contract. Part of the reason I chose this school was because it is a labor of love, and not a business to get students to sign up.
New to taekwondo? Start at The Journey Tae Kwon Do
The Journey Tae Kwon Do 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 Journey Tae Kwon Do
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.
