From the reviews
2 years ago our oldest started his Tae Kwon Do journey at the Kernersville Tiger Kims location, and now it is a family affair! All 5 of us LOVE it! It is good for our health- physical, mental, emotional!
Good family environment, always a smile on all the master’s and instructor’s face. Great place for a laugh and learning Taekwondo.
Our son started last year in April and since then we've seen a very positive change in him. He really enjoys it as they make the Little Tiger classes fun yet the kids learn their moves, kicks, Korean terms. Master Yun and Miss Amy are very patient with the kids who are usually between 4-6 in the Little Tiger classes.
I’m just starting with 4 classes under my belt. Ms. Dan and Master Yun are awesome to say the least. They both are so dedicated to all the students. Whether the class is large or you are the only one that is in attendance, you are never neglected. I thought I was “over the hill” at age 59, but I have surprised myself.
New to taekwondo? Start at Tiger Kim's Tae Kwon Do - Kernersville
Tiger Kim's Tae Kwon Do - Kernersville 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 Tiger Kim's Tae Kwon Do - Kernersville
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.
