From the reviews
My Daughter and my son started Tiger World Class with Master Chong,Master Shin and Master Daniel they love it! Now They are Yellow belts.My kids loves to coming to Tae Kwon Do! They've learned so much. This place like a home I highly recommend
Love this school! Staffs are very nice, polite and always care about the progress of your child. Very family oriented! My son has attending this school for a year and a half now. We signed up for the black belt program.
For the parents who want their children to have more focus and concentration, I encourage them to send their kids to Tiger World Class Tae Kwon Do. My son did not concentrate nor focus well before and so we sent him to this Tae Kwon Do class.
We are so grateful to have found this Taekwondo school. The instructors truly care about each student and help them grow both physically and mentally. My child has become more confident, respectful, and motivated since joining. Thank you for making such a positive impact on our family!
New to taekwondo? Start at Tiger World Class Tae Kwon Do Ellicott City
Tiger World Class Tae Kwon Do Ellicott City 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 World Class Tae Kwon Do Ellicott City
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.
