From the reviews
Master DJ has been absolutely vital in helping my kids grow—not just as athletes, but as people. Since joining his program, they have gained so much confidence, discipline, and strength. What I love most is how he goes beyond teaching kicks and punches—he’s teaching real-life leadership skills, focus, and respect.
Brand new Taekwondo studio in West Eugene. Master DJ is a great communicator, awesome with kids of all ages but especially if your boy/daughter is hyperactive or not a good fit with those studios that we’ve all experienced that are ran by the militaristic dictator type instructors.
US World Class Taekwondo in Eugene has been phenomenal for my son, O. From day one, the instructors have been incredibly positive, patient, and connection-first before correction — exactly what kids need. Their approach is warm, encouraging, and developmentally aware, and it shows in every single class.
My son Obadiah has been attending US World Class Taekwondo for a couple of months now, and it has been an amazing experience. He’s on the autism spectrum, and Master DJ has been absolutely wonderful with him—patient, encouraging, and consistent, with a perfect balance of fun and discipline.
New to taekwondo? Start at US World Class Taekwondo - Eugene
US World Class Taekwondo - Eugene comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 World Class Taekwondo - Eugene
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.
