From the reviews
My son loves to practice taekwondo. He asks every day, even on weekends, if he has classes. He wasn't even interested in sports but now if he could, he would do it every day. Taekwondo has positively impacted in his life. The classes are very dynamic and Mr Baek is really good with children. The other teachers too.
Taekwondo was something my husband and I had been considering awhile for our 5 year old son. We had visited other schools in the Glen Allen area and was left unimpressed by the contractual terms/options. Over the summer we noticed Dynamic Kick opened. I thought it might be worth it to find out more.
My 8 year old son Alex started martial arts here a few months ago and we have had a wonderful experience. Master Baek is very knowledgeable and so patient with the kids in class. My son is learning great technique, respect, and even a little Korean! We really couldn’t be happier with Dynamic Kick & Master Baek.
My daughter has been going to taekwondo class at true black belt for last 2 years and it has been a wonderful journey so far. Her focus and discipline has improved a lot. They have awesome teachers who teach make learning taekwondo in a way kids are interested in. Highly recommend this place.
Your first taekwondo class at True Black Belt - Short Pump
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.
