From the reviews

Being a personal student to this day I love it. I have learned so much. He has got me to a black belt and now I am close to my 2nd degree. Master Kim is amazing. Highly Recommend

★★★★★ — Evan, May 2021

My 2 sons attended Master Jung Hwan Kim's class for almost a year. On the first day of class, my eldest son (8 yrs old at the time) cried and didn't want to participate. Within a few weeks, he did a 180 and was excited for every class. My younger son (6 yrs old at the time) loved it from day 1.

★★★★★ — Tio, Jul 2020

My son has been here for about 3 years now and the quality of Master Kim teaching of Tae Kwon Do is amazing. He has a lot of patience and makes it fun with Discipline for the art. My son has confidence and loves going. Durning Covid Master Kim still engage with students via zoom and helped them to stay active.

★★★★★ — Maria, May 2021

Master Kim does a great job motivating young children. My daughter is six years old and she can't wait to go to her sessions every week. He knows everyone's name and is excellent with discipline and self-defense techniques. Awesome dojo!

New to taekwondo? Start at Us Tae Kwon Do Center

Us Tae Kwon Do Center 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 Us Tae Kwon Do 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.
