What to Expect at Your First Taekwondo Class

What to wear, what happens and how to feel confident walking in the door.

Trying something new can feel intimidating. Here's exactly what happens at your first class.

What to wear

Comfortable athletic clothes. Training is barefoot, so no special shoes are needed.

Arrive a few minutes early

You'll meet the instructor, fill out a quick form and get a tour.

The class itself

A warm-up, basic stances, blocks and kicks, then a fun drill or pad work. Instructors will guide you every step.

Etiquette

Bow when entering the training floor and follow the instructor's lead. Nobody expects you to know everything on day one.

Afterward

We'll answer your questions and recommend the best program for your goals.
