From the reviews

I highly recommend this school and Master Kim for anyone who is new to or familiar with Taekwondo. He has practiced Taekwondo about 30 years now and excelled in numerous competitions-his 540 degree turn kick was especially memorable.

Great place to learn martial arts. I went in to the US Taekwondo Center because of my 5 year old. After I saw what the school can do for her, I told my wife we should do it as well. All four of us are enrolled now. We enjoy the training Master Kim offers us.

★★★★★ — Felix, Oct 2016

Best experience ever. I went in to the Taekwondo school looking to enroll my 5 year old and we have the whole family of four enroll in class including my 2 year old. Master Kim is great with the kids and tailors the class to the different students in class.

★★★★★ — Mariangelly, Oct 2016

I have 8yrs old girl and 4yrs old boy. It was hard for me to find after school activities that allow both children to participate at the same time. Fortunately, US taekwondo center provides trainings for all age group and the specialized techniques depending on their fitness levels and physical abilities.

New to taekwondo? Start at U.S. Taekwondo Center

U.S. Taekwondo Center 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 U.S. Taekwondo Center

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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
