From the reviews

We have been going to a World KM for over a year. I love the different levels and styles of classes that are available. Sometimes quiet and a disciplined feel and other times energetic and sweaty with music pumping. I love that the self defense and sparring is practiced physically not just with the air.

Fabulous family. Caring, discipline, knowledge, accomplishment and most valuable "trust". Love you all.

One of the best things I've ever did, my whole family attends this school. Master Perez is flat out amazing! we've learned so much from him. my kids speak up instead of mumbling now, they pay more attention at home and in school and both are now honor roll student.

★★★★★ — Georgie, Oct 2016

This facility is fantastic! Down to earth owner, Master Perez & super responsible. I'm beyond impressed with our son's experience thus far in just a month and a half attending the classes & after school program. We're very fortunate to have World KM Tae Kwon Do right around the corner from home, work, and school! 😊

New to taekwondo? Start at World KM Taekwondo

World KM 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 KM 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.
