From the reviews
Perfect place for young kids, teens and adults to learn Taekwondo. All the instructors are super good. They are extremely patient and very helpful. I joined here in 2022 and I am loving my journey here.
Everybody is so nice and kind at West Coast Taekwondo. We are so pleased that our son goes to that school and learns many positive concepts. In a world where kids are immersed in social media and online gaming, this is a great way to get them a real life activity to open their mind.
Master Vaughn's Self Defense Class was absolutely incredible! She was so knowledgeable on the subject and I appreciated how she focused on building upon our individual strengths. She also addressed our individual concerns and prepared us with what we need to know to protect ourselves and loved ones.
My kid joined taekwondo as dragon n now moved to tiger group. Austin sir trained him very good in all perspectives not taekwondo alone. Vaughan, Adam n other instructors too are very good n observed many kids performing very well. Thank you team.
New to taekwondo? Start at West Coast Taekwondo
West Coast 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 West Coast 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.
