I'm one of the parents of a 2nd degree black belt. My son has high functioning autism , but has over come all his challenges with the help of our fine masters and instructors. He is now an instructor himself and helps other kids with their challenges.
My 8 year old daughter has been a part of US Taekwondo Center since June 2016. She started as a white belt and will currently be testing for her purple. The care, dedication, and discipline towards Lily is exceptional. They also offer a fun-filled summer camp as well as transportation to and from school.
US Taekwondo Center is awesome! My daughter just got her Jr. black belt and attends classes 3 times a week. She absolutely LOVES it!! Taking Taekwondo here has had an incredibly positive impact on both her confidence and focus and we couldn’t be happier.
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.
