From the reviews
Zans classes are disciplined and fun! I started at age 50 and have been in the best shape since my 30’s! Thank you Master Zan!
We absolutely love Zan’s Taekwondo. Master Zan is a blessing not only to my child but for all her students. Master Zan has attended my daughter’s personal events to show her continued support that extends outside of the studio. Master Zan goes above and beyond for her students.
We started coming to Zan’s Taekwondo about 2 months ago. We have had a great experience. Master Zan is a great instructor and always encouraging. I would highly recommend anyone of any age to come check it out. My son and I have enjoyed coming every Tuesday and Thursday!
Zan has been a wonderful Taekwondo teacher to our girls! Whether you need after school care, taekwondo classes, or a great morning workout class ..... This is where you NEED to be! Thank you Zan!
New to taekwondo? Start at Zan's Taekwondo
Zan's 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 Zan's 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.
