From the reviews
I have had two children in this program for two years. It has been one of the best parenting decisions we have made. This program has impacted their respect level, discipline and physicality Like with any program you get what you put into it.
Master Je Kim (owner) is a 1992 Olympic Gold Medalist and 8 time World Champion in the field of Taekwondo. The staff there have all been training with Master Kim for a very long time and have received his dedication and discipline to Taekwondo and their students.
Our community is so fortunate to have a gold medal Olympian in our midst. We have been taking our son for two years to the mountain park location. Master Hahn is EXACTLY the example of discipline, control, focus, patience, Drive, and peak human mental and physical sharpness. I can’t do him justice with words.
I have two boys and they have already experienced tournaments in front of a crowd. The disciplinary style and the encouragement the instructors provide have been really helpful for our very active boys. We have told our friends about this awesome place!
New to taekwondo? Start at World Champion Taekwondo
World Champion Taekwondo comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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 Taekwondo
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.
