From the reviews

West Side Taekwondo is a very good school and I really enjoy my time spent there. I would advise anyone to go there and see for yourself how cool this school is!

★★★★★ — Elvyn, Jun 2014

My children have been attending Westside Tae Kwon Do for the past year. So far it has been a wonderful experience. I have seen my older son's self-confidence boosted. He works harder towards earning his belts than anything else I have seen. He had gained a strong sense of pride over his accomplishments.

Mr. Breese and his team are the best! They have high standards but are also incredibly encouraging and supportive. My son gets so much out of each class!

Your first taekwondo class at West Side Championship Martial Arts

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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
