I would recommend this place to anyone. If you want to improve your child’s ability to self defense but mainly discipline this is hands down the best place. Instructors are really awesome and your child will get personal attention and support always.

★★★★★ — Maria, Oct 2023

Yong In Tiger is by far THE BEST Tae Kwon Do school around! Master Yu is patient, fair, and amazing with all the students in his classes. He genuinely carries a passion for what he does, and he takes his time working with his students so that in time, he/she may achieve greatness.

★★★★★ — Becky, Oct 2018

My son has been attending the school with Master Yu for about 2 years. He started at 4 years old. We have been treated with nothing but respect and kindness. Master Yu and Master Ray truly care for and are invested in their students. The facility is clean and well maintained.

New to taekwondo? Start at YONG IN TIGER TAEKWONDO

YONG IN TIGER TAEKWONDO 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 YONG IN TIGER 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.
