From the reviews
My son started taking taekwondo lesson from Master kim since seven or eight years ago and it has been an amazing part of our lives ever since. Master kim is an incredible teacher, mentor and role model!! He taught my son in a fun way and top of that motivate him to comeback for the class everyday.
World Class Tae Kwon Do is just that… WORLD CLASS! My son took two private classes, and we were sold. The characteristics and skills that were promised to be developed from orientation, have been fulfilled in such a short span of time.
Master Kim has helped my son out so much! It's unbelievable. My son has adhd and could never sit still for 5 seconds. Master Kim understood and was patient, caring and taught him how to focus. My son looks forward to his classes every week!
Master Kim is a magical taekwondo instructor. From teaching my son in Little Tigers all the way through his Black Belt, Master Kim has inspired Jay to work hard, persevere and get stronger all while working on social emotional skills, respect, self-determination and so much more.
New to taekwondo? Start at World Class Tae Kwon Do
World Class Tae Kwon Do 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 Class 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.
