From the reviews
Great place for children and adults to learn the art. Master Lee has a unique ability and patience to deliver instructions in a fun way that motivate kids and spark increased interest in the art, while teaching the fundamentals for respect, perseverance, sincerity, tolerance and focus for good character.
We are very happy and pleased with our son's experience at Won's T.A. Our son is really enjoying it and is learning Taekwondo from the real master himself Master Lee who is indeed an expert in his craft and is very good with the kids.
After my first trial class here about 8 months ago, I knew I was hooked. The atmosphere is welcoming, classes are fun and challenging, the schedule is really convenient, and the price is good.
After the very first introductory class when I watched my 8 yo daughter say "Focus, Confidence" and then break a board I knew that she was hooked. She looks forward to her classes twice a week with excitement and absolutely loves it.
New to taekwondo? Start at Won's Taekwondo Academy
Won's Taekwondo 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 Won's Taekwondo 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.
