From the reviews
I highly recommend Twin Tigers Taekwondo! They have a great program! We initially started with the introduction 4 week course to see how our son would do, and he loves it, so we signed him up for more! We travel from Olympia to take his class! Price is reasonable as well!
Master Ramirez takes interest in each student. He demands excellent work from them and is firm and fair. We have had a couple children in his school and would gladly encourage others to consider his program.
This is the best place for kids and adults alike to learn a self defence art. Master Ramirez is amazing with kids, attentive, and even with his larger classes finds a way to give each child individual guidance. And during the pandemic does offer classes via Zoom.
It is amazing!!! The school is warm, welcoming with such a positive vibe. Our first grader is so happy, proud and excited to learn. Twin Tigers Taekwondo is a beautiful family first school! Thank you Master Ramirez!
New to taekwondo? Start at Twin Tigers Taekwondo
Twin Tigers Taekwondo 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 Twin Tigers Taekwondo
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.
