From the reviews
Our son has taken Tae Kwon Do here for about six years. He wasn't into competitive sports, so we were looking for something where he would get some exercise but still be engaged in the activity, and TKD was a good match.
Are you looking for a martial art option for your child or family? Whether you or your child want to develop self-confidence, develop athletically, learn self-defense, learn the focus and discipline that sports teach, or just have a ton of fun, US Taekwondo with Grandmaster Kim is the place.
My son has been attending taekwondo for about 2 years. At first, he was a having hard time to listen and focus, but Master kim helps my son to listen and focus so it improved his daily life.
US TaeKwonDo is amazing! Grandmaster Kim has a Master's degree in TaeKwonDo education from South Korea and it shows. It's incredible how strong his pedagogy is. How he instructs, teaches the kids life lessons, and even the awesome games that he has to develop teamwork and coordination are truly first class.
Your first taekwondo class at U.S. Tae Kwon Do | Draper
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.
