From the reviews
We joined World Champion Tae Kwon Do last summer and it quickly became our son's favorite place. He adores the teachers and is very proud of all that he has learned. As parents, we could not ask for more from a martial arts academy.
My children received their black belts this past summer and have loved working with Grand Master Park and His team (master Andy and Mr. Mathew). They have a great mix of old school discipline and fun for everyone. I recommend this school for anyone serious about learning martial arts and respect.
I've been attending this school for about 3 years and the instructors/masters are awesome! They are tough and constantly challenge you to learn new skills; but always very patient.
World Champion TKD is a wonderful place to study martial arts. Grand Master Park is a lifelong practitioner and a respected member of the taekwondo community. I have grown to find a good home here. Masters Andy and Matt are excellent teachers and have fostered a wonderful community for students of all ages.
New to taekwondo? Start at World Champion Tae Kwon Do Academy
World Champion 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 World Champion 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.
