From the reviews
Westchester Tae Kwon Do Academy was highly recommended to us and my two kids have been going here now for over four years. The instructors and the entire community have been extremely welcoming and encouraging. My kids look forward to going three days a week for classes and to meet the friends they made there.
I highly recommend Westchester Tae Kwon Do Academy! Want to feel better, be happier, then become part of this family. In a world of martial arts business factories, Master Moradi maintains a traditional Martial Arts experience.
Love this place. The Masters and assistants are great with kids and adults alike. In almost a year that my two kids are enrolled there, and I'm almost always with my kids when they have their lessons, I found this place just getting better and better.
We sent two of our boys to Westchester Tae Kwon Do Academy 7 years ago, non- stop participation and practices 3-4 days a week, both of them are Black Belt now. We can't thank enough the dedication of Master David and his team, I would strongly recommend this academy to any parents who wants their children to grow up…
New to taekwondo? Start at Westchester Tae Kwon Do Academy
Westchester Tae Kwon Do 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 Westchester Tae Kwon Do 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.
