I've had 5 children go through Young Brothers Tae kwon do and they're better for it. My oldest son has been in it the longest (since 2020) and is Autistic. He never would speak and was scared of virtually everything, never thought he could be as good as others he saw in the room.
Young brothers in Hermitage is a great place to learn and excel at tae kwon do. Master Dunworth has a real passion for teaching tae kwon do and is one of the nicest people you will meet.
After touring a few area DOJO’s we chose Young’s for our son. The staff is amazing, my sons second class had 4 black belts and an instructor for a small white belt class. Class sizes are small so a lot of individual attention. This is not a program that sells belts (you get a better belt every X weeks).
New to taekwondo? Start at Young Brothers Tae Kwon Do
Young Brothers Tae Kwon Do 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 Young Brothers Tae Kwon Do
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.
