From the reviews

Who would have guessed that just by chance a world-renowned Taekwondo Master would open up a dojang down the street from our home. Who would have guessed that this Taekwondo Master would become one of the most important people in our son's life. Master Jeon is simply incredible.

I'm not sure why but the 2 star review was posted previously. I'm not sure if someone was playing with my phone and just pressing buttons or what but I wanted to say we love this school so much. Master Jeon is an awesome teacher.

★★★★★ — Torin, Feb 2024

US World Class Damascus with Master Jeon is one of the most fulfilling and rewarding activities we’ve involved our kids in to date. They have learned to demonstrate respect, further develop their listening skills, compete as part of a team, learned the importance of practicing, all the while having the best time ever.

New to taekwondo? Start at World Class Taekwondo Damascus

World Class Taekwondo Damascus 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 Taekwondo Damascus

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.
