From the reviews
My son was a student of Master Han’s for 3 years. He began TKD at age 4 and this past November after a lot of hard work, earned his black belt. Master Han and his staff are all wonderful! They are professional, really care about the students and while they expect hard work, also want the students to have fun.
Our son took tae kwon do with Master Han for over 4 years, and we were very happy there. My son loved Master Han, and he and Mrs. Han and their son and daughter truly care about their students. They are flexible and responsive.
My child has been coming twice a week to Master Han's for just over a year. We have had an exceptional experience. All of their staff are wonderful with the kids. They focus on teaching self-discipline, physical strength, and balance all while encouraging and motivating.
i love it here:33‼️ so fun hehe, master han the goat i joined 2 years ago now and its been very fun learning and doing new things as well as meeting new people. i’ve gotten 2 close friends from taekwondo and i feel like almost nothing is too embarrassing here because everyone is nice.
New to taekwondo? Start at Washington Premier Taekwondo Academy
Washington Premier Taekwondo Academy 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 Washington Premier Taekwondo Academy
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.
