From the reviews
Great class! Master Nam is a great instructor, he's knowledgeable and the classes are always fun and they're a great workout. Highly recommend this Taekwondo school to anyone looking to learn and grow, or just improve their overall fitness level.
My son has trained in martial arts for approx. 9 years. We have found our home at USK Tea Kwon Do. When we began to attend we really began to become part of the family. Master Jang is indeed a high quality Martial Artistist who has developed an institute for the study martial arts NOT just a Martial Arts School.
So far we LOVE this place! Our daughter was in gymnastics and decided to try out taekwondo and absolutely loves it! Ended up choosing taekwondo over gym because we love the structure and discipline they enstill within our child. Looking forward to seeing her growth! Thank you Masters!!
Best place to learn TaeKwonDo in this area. Very authentic and Master coaching every detail on PoomSae from the beginning. Kids improved movement and strength so much in short time. My kids have attended for a year. I love USK TAEKWONDO more than any other places.
New to taekwondo? Start at USK TAE KWON DO ELSINORE
USK TAE KWON DO ELSINORE 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 USK TAE KWON DO ELSINORE
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.
