From the reviews

Master Kim is a legitimate world champion, literally. He also studied child development and is very good with kids. I am very impressed with the classes and structure.

★★★★★ — Manda, Nov 2017

My kids have done a few sports. But they have never been as excited and passionate about something like they are for Taekwando. My son who is super shy and introverted, cannot wait for taekwondo! We have seen his confidence grow and has become a great leader. They really care for your kids and make learning fun

★★★★★ — A, Oct 2022

Master Kim is a great teacher. My son did not want to start lessons but after just one class he loved it and gets excited for each class. I wish classes were a full hour instead of 40 min but I am very pleased with Master Kim and the classes offered here!

★★★★☆ — E, Oct 2018

We are incredibly happy with the experience our son is having with World Champion TaeKwonDo. Not only is he developing strong TKD skills, but the instructors are really focused on helping him to develop as a person. We couldn't ask for more!

Your first taekwondo class at US Taekwondo Education Foundation Gresham

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.
