From the reviews
Master Youn and Sarah’s dojang is the perfect combination of sport and education where the kids really learn the martial art of TaeKwonDo, along with the benefits of learning self confidence, respect and discipline in a fun environment.
My two kids both go here, and I love that this school is different in its core than other schools. It has a more traditional feel (while still able to have fun), and gives good structure and building blocks for my kids.
We have been apart of World Family Taekwondo for 4 years. The instructors practice the perfect balance of discipline and fun. We’re so thankful for them! Would HIGHLY recommend signing up for class no matter your age!
Joining World Family Taekwondo is much more than training Taekwondo. You actually become part of a wonderful family. Master Yoon and Master Sarah are the most wonderful people one can ever wish to have in their life! They put so much effort in helping everyone. They meet every person's need in an individual level.
New to taekwondo? Start at World Family Taekwondo
World Family Taekwondo 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 Family 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.
