Your First Taekwondo Class: What to Expect

What to Wear

For your first class, comfortable exercise clothing is all you need. Tracksuit pants or shorts and a t-shirt work perfectly. Shoes are not worn on the training floor, so bare feet is the go. Once you enrol, we provide a free uniform (dobok) as part of our introductory offer.

What Happens in Your First Class

Your instructor will welcome you and introduce you to the class. You will start with a warm-up, then learn some basic stances, blocks, and strikes. Do not worry about getting everything perfect on day one. Everyone starts as a beginner, and our instructors are experienced at helping newcomers feel comfortable.

Who Will Be in the Class

Our classes are grouped by age and experience level. Kids are separated into Little Tigers (4-6), Juniors (7-12), and Teens (13-17). Adults train together in a supportive, non-competitive environment. You will be surrounded by people at a similar stage in their journey.

How Fit Do I Need to Be

You do not need any particular fitness level to start. Our classes are designed to meet you where you are and build your fitness progressively. Whether you are already active or have not exercised in years, you will be able to participate from day one.
