From the reviews
We came here for a free trial lesson and stayed! It’s conveniently located in the Kroger shopping center, so while your kid is doing taekwondo you can go grocery shopping which is a plus :) My 7 year old daughter absolutely loves the classes and her instructors. They make us feel welcome and at home every single time.
Master Young and Instructor Abbi are terrific! My son is not only learning Taekwondo but also important life skills like effort, respect, and kindness. The instruction is top-notch, and the atmosphere is both encouraging and disciplined. We’ve seen great progress in his confidence and skills.
Master Young and Instructor Abby at YK Taekwondo in Macedonia are fantastic at what they do with their students and taekwondo program! Their taekwondo program is structured and engaging, and they offer classes for a variety of ages and skill levels.
Master Young and Instructor Abby are so great with the kids! They are positive and encouraging while also keeping the kids focused and learning. When I asked my daughter (kindergarten) what she liked about doing Taekwondo, she answered that she loved her teachers.
New to taekwondo? Start at YK Taekwondo_Macedonia
YK Taekwondo_Macedonia 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 YK Taekwondo_Macedonia
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.
