From the reviews
After taking Taekwondo (TKD) as part of the preschool program, my son has been nagging me about continuing TKD. I told him he can start when he goes to first grade. Then COVID hit so we had been holding off on finding a TKD school for him.
Thanks to all the stuff in this place, from the director Mrs. Tak,master Tak, and gran master Joe they are amazingly great, they are very patient, my daughter loves this place, we as parents feel good about this place, always taking care of the students specially during this times of pandemic, every class they check…
Highly recommend this location, my child has dramatically changed in less then one year he has attended. His discipline and attention span has changed from polar opposite sides. He enjoys and takes pride in class and translates to every day situations .
My son used to be very shy and uncomfortable trying new things. When we first enrolled him in taekwondo, he was even too embarrassed to introduce himself or say his age in front of others. He has now been attending for about 10 months, and looking back, I truly feel it was one of the best decisions we've made.
New to taekwondo? Start at USA Tae Kwon Do Center
USA Tae Kwon Do 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 USA Tae Kwon Do 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.
