From the reviews
US Taekwondo is a great place for people of all ages to come and learn martial arts and self defense. Master Sunmi is awesome and a great instructor that I would recommend to all my family and friends. During class the program is structured to learn Takewondo and also a great way to get a nice workout.
I came here as a child and was trained for 6 years by Master Ko and Master Luc. I loved the experience so much that I now have both of my boys here learning from Master Sunmi.
I have only seen positive things come out from sending my 5 year old to US TKD. Master Sunmi and the other instructors really make a huge effort to ensure that the children are building self confidence as well as learning proper form and techniques, while making it a fun environment.
Great place for kids!! Master Sunmi is the best when it comes to kids of all ages. Her patience and guidence has been making positive changes in our daughter's life since she started a year ago. Thank you US Taekwando ❤️
New to taekwondo? Start at US Taekwondo Center Porter Ranch
US Taekwondo Center Porter Ranch 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 Porter Ranch
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.
