From the reviews

Very patient instructor. We have a high energy child that has struggled with focus. Taekwondo has allowed him to channel his energy and improve his focus.

★★★★★ — Lucas, Nov 2019

I transferred to this school six years ago after moving to another city, and I can say without a doubt that starting here was one of the best decisions I ever made. Master Jang and Master Emalee are some of the best instructors that I have encountered.

★★★★★ — Rhianna, Dec 2022

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Taekwondo program and especially Master Jang. My 5-year-old daughter absolutely loves her classes and looks forward to them every week.

Your first taekwondo class at World Champion Tae Kwon 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.

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.
