From the reviews
My daughter started here about a month ago and loves it! The teachers are great with the children. They are humorous and continually encourage the children through positive reinforcement. Classes are so much fun that time flies by quickly for the children.
My 4yo son has been coming here for a few months now and it has been a great experience! They are so welcoming and made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in the door. All the instructors have awesome energy and are great with the kids.
I cant say enough good things about this center. My children have been coming here for a while now. Thy love it and feel like family, the staff is knowledgeable and patient. Master Kwak, Master Ryan and Master Arthur are incredibly dedicated and caring.
Master Arthur is absolutely phenomenal with the kids. He keeps things fun, engaging, and provides students with a true sense of purpose. My son, in a short time, has grown exponentially in his abilities. All of the student helpers are incredible. Master Kwak has begun training me so that I can practice with my son.
New to taekwondo? Start at Ultimate Taekwondo martial arts
Ultimate Taekwondo martial arts comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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 Ultimate Taekwondo martial arts
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.
