It has been an outstanding experience for our family. They are truly dedicated and create an environment where children feel supported, encouraged, and respected. Their approach to teaching is not only professional but perfectly tailored to help kids grow both on and off the mat.
World Taekwondo Chanhassen is an incredible place! The Park family runs the school and they truly make it feel like a second home. They are amazing with kids — patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping each student grow in confidence, discipline, and respect.
I truly believe every young child should try Tae Kwon Do, especially at World TKD Center in Chanhassen. We’ve been here for 1 year and my 6 year old son has loved it and grown so much since starting here. You cannot beat the instructors Master Park and Mr. Erik with their energy, patience, and creativity. Mrs.

New to taekwondo? Start at World Tae Kwon Do Center - Chanhassen Martial Arts
World Tae Kwon Do Center - Chanhassen Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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 Tae Kwon Do Center - Chanhassen Martial Arts
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.
