From the reviews
My son has been attending for 2 years, he enjoys the classes and instructors. He has met with many other students and has built up his confidence and ability to perform well in the class. The instructors are well trained and focus on each area that needs improvement diligently.
My daughter has been attending classes for 2 weeks and she absolutely loves it!. She has Autistism with mixed communicative and expressive language disorder,so even though I would have loved for her to start at 4years old, I was aware that she would not be able to fully comprehend the instruction so I waited until she…
This is a great school. My school will occasionally come here to train sometimes and it’s always been enjoyable. They push you to be the best you can be and don’t hold back and I do feel like coming here has helped me improve.
I have been coming to this school for so long that the instructors have become like a second family. This school takes the art of TaeKwon-Do seriously and puts up high expectations for its students to encourage growth and success. It also hosts a community of those who are sincerely passionate and caring.
New to taekwondo? Start at White Tiger School of Taekwon-do
White Tiger School of Taekwon-do 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 White Tiger School of Taekwon-do
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.
