★★★★★ — Michael, Mar 2025

We have had a positive experience with Yong-in. Coming out of the pandemic, we were looking for an activity for my son to transition back to in person learning and activities. Master Kim and his program helped my son grow in many areas, outside of just physical growth and strength.

★★★★★ — Traci, Mar 2023

We really love Yongin taekwondo. Master Kim brings a good balance of discipline and fun to the class. His black belts are amazing in the class as well. They have very good programs to teach kids discipline , respect , responsibility along with self defense.

★★★★★ — Aalok, Oct 2023

My son has been attending Yong-In Martial Arts for about a year now and he loves the sport. Thank you Master Kim, Master Sando and the student teachers for all the hard work to invest in your students. My son has grown a lot in strength and confidence and I look forward to seeing him progress to Black Belt.

New to taekwondo? Start at Yong-In Martial Arts_Cypress

Yong-In Martial Arts_Cypress 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 Yong-In Martial Arts_Cypress

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.
