From the reviews
Triumph Taekwondo school is great for all ages and all levels of training. Our daughter started when she was les than five years old. 11 years later she still attends the school and loves it! The world class masters teach techniques with patience and precision.
My son and daughter learn Taekwondo here. Children enjoy going to Taekwondo and have fun. Also, I am satisfied that they can learn not only physical exercise but also etiquette, responsibility and confidence with friendly masters.
Triumph Taekwondo school has well organized curriculums. The masters who carefully check each student's improvement encourage the good and fill in the deficiencies. Especially the main master leads the whole class to be interesting and efficient to learn at the same time.
I have been training for 30+ years, and while I had been to very good schools, Triumph is the ultimate one for me. I was exhilarated to find Master Oh because I knew exactly what to look for in a "good" tae kwon do school. This is the real deal!
New to taekwondo? Start at Triumph Tae Kwon Do
Triumph 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 Triumph 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.
