From the reviews
Extraordinary teachers Grand Master and Master Jeung provide expert, disciplined instruction, while giving gentle, loving encouragement at the same time....and it's fun! They really care about the kids!
I recently joined W.S. Jeung Taekwondo in September 2021. Having studied over 20 years ago I was a bit nervous about getting back into Taekwondo, but my first two trial classes were fantastic and I felt welcomed immediately. Grand Master Jeung and Master Jeung are incredibly skilled and professional.
WS Jeung’s Taekwondo has gifted me with an impeccable skill set— I am forever grateful for Grandmaster and Master Jeung’s meticulous dedication to my development not only as a martial artist but as a future adult yearning to impact the individuals around me.
WSJ provides a fantastic environment for our son to flourish in every way! From the moment we walked through the doors, we were impressed by the welcoming atmosphere and the dedication of the instructors.
New to taekwondo? Start at W.S. JEUNG TAEKWONDO
W.S. JEUNG TAEKWONDO 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 W.S. JEUNG TAEKWONDO
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.
