“He has always had a thirst for learning, mastering and sharing Hapkido.”
From the reviews
I have known and trained with Greg since 2006, during which time we have become great friends. He has always had a thirst for learning, mastering and sharing Hapkido. When we lost our original dojang (training space), he invested his own money in a building so that we could all continue to train together.
I had the privilege of training under Greg Weir in Hapkido. Greg is a veritable fountain of knowledge regarding Korean martial arts. I found him to be a patient instructor with a great sense of humor. As an instructor of martial arts myself, i can definitely recommend training at Weirs Dojang.
I’ve been learning the art of Hapkido from Greg for about a year now. He is an amazing teacher that has changed my life. His skills not only teach to a beginners level, but advanced artist too. His knowledge not only brings the physical part, but the mental part of the Hapkido art.
I have known and trained with Greg since about 2007. He is a true teacher in every sense of the word, but also continues to learn and adapt. It is a pleasure and an honor to train with him.
New to taekwondo? Start at Weir's Dojang
Weir's Dojang 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 Weir's Dojang
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.
