From the reviews

Master Kim's is the best. He is a very compassionate and understanding, patient instructor. His understanding of each student and level and willingness to work with them at each level is outstanding.

★★★★★ — Silkrose, Aug 2018

The family atmosphere is great. I do class with my 7 year old. Master Kim is great with kids, he is very patient. Highly recommend it.

★★★★★ — Jason, May 2018

Choosing Tiger Kim’s Pro Tae Keon Do school has been the best decision for my entire family! Master Kim and his wife are so welcoming and make you feel like family! David, Joseph, and Grace are also wonderful teachers! I was struggling trying to teach my five year old daughter how to be patient and learn how to focus.

★★★★★ — Michelle, Mar 2022

Elite Tae Kwan Do training! Catering to your needs, working with your schedule, and providing teaching that can't contest with others, this dojo also has a very comfortable atmosphere! The master here has trained in the art for many years which has given him the well deserved title of MASTER!

New to taekwondo? Start at Tiger Kim's Pro Tae Kwon Do

Tiger Kim's Pro Tae Kwon Do 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 Tiger Kim's Pro 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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
