From the reviews
My 3 boys recently started to attend here, we came from a different TKD school that we've been with 6 years. We commute 30 mins every class for the boys to attend. I love the class structure. Each class are broken into smaller groups based on their belt level and will have small sessions with each masters.
Nothing but praise for this top of the line Tae Kwon Do learning center. Korean family owned and operated it welcomes all skill levels from beginner to advance. I am a Black Belt TKD parent who has my son take instruction at this facility because of it's high standards for excellence.
Just an unbelievably great place to train Taekwondo. I trained there full-time from 2021-2024 while stationed at Ft Carson and the level of professionalism and instruction were second to none.
My middle school age son has been attending classes here for several months. The instructors really work hard to help students. Whether it be holding students accountable for attendance to classes, accountability in their schoolwork, being responsible and respectful at home...
New to taekwondo? Start at US Taekwondo Center
US Taekwondo 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 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.
