I have been doing taekwondo for 5 years, I’ve had so much fun doing these classes. I’ve learned discipline and patience, as well as many ways to defend myself. I have made some new friends and Master Lee is really nice and positive. All the master are supportive and always encouraging us to keep improving.

I have been at this Taekwondo dojo for the past 7 years. It has been a great experience, with the Master at the Taekwondo being kind and thoughtful. At the same time, he teaches us the right skills and helps us through our journey, by teaching us life lessons.

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.

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.
