From the reviews
I can’t give enough accolades to USWC Happy Valley Taekwondo, they are absolutely amazing! Both of our sons have gone through their Tiny Tigers program the year before starting kindergarten and it really helped prepare them.
This is a very good TKD school. Master Seong and instructors are very nice and friendly!!! Both of my kids, my husband’s nephew and nieces, my friend’s kids are going there. Since going TKD, the kids are better, stronger and more confident.
There are so many places we can spend our time and resources, both of which are limited. This is why we tend to search out places that check multiple boxes, the value propositions. This school checks those boxes in spades. My eldest two boys attended for years, and it became a family event when I joined as well.
Our twin girls have been attending this Taekwondo school for almost two years, and they absolutely love it. They are always excited to go to class and look forward to every lesson. We have seen such a positive change in their confidence, discipline, and focus since they joined.
New to taekwondo? Start at US World Class Taekwondo Happy Valley
US World Class Taekwondo Happy Valley 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 Happy Valley
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.
