From the reviews
My daughter takes classes and my son takes private lessons. Master KJ is wonderful with both kids. We love how WCT Fairfield emphasizes more than just taekwondo. The kids learn confidence and are encouraged to respect their parents and help out at home.
we love this studio, Jen and Master KJ! Just came back from a tournament. It was a great event for the kids to build confidence. The tournament goes on throughout the morning and the kids can attend their events whenever they get there. It's an easy going and fun atmosphere
What can I say? World Taekwondo in Fairfield are absolutely incredible. My son is autistic and he has seizures. Not bad of course. But World Taekwondo is absolutely incredible as I said. My son loves going two evenings a week. And he adores the Master and the friends he has there. My son always looks forward to going.
I have seen my son growing with a lot of confidence and focus since joining. Master KJ and staff have been phenomenal. The whole environment is created for learning discipline, work hard and respectful to others. I have seen instant boost in confidence of my son when joined when he was 4.
New to taekwondo? Start at World TaeKwonDO Studio Fairfield
World TaeKwonDO Studio Fairfield 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 TaeKwonDO Studio Fairfield
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.
