Here are a few things to consider when making your first visit to a prospective Taekwondo school.

• When visiting for the first time, call ahead to make sure visitors are welcome and to make an appointment. 
• Wear normal street clothes.
• Be polite and courteous. 
• If you're offered a hand, shake hands. If someone bows to you, bow back. 
• Be quiet during class; do not do anything to draw attention to you while the class is in session. 
• Get there early and stay afterwards so you can ask questions. 
• Do not try to impress the instructor with your limited knowledge of Taekwondo or other styles.
• Do not try to use Korean words unless you are sure of the meaning and pronunciation.
• Beware of high-pressure sales pitches at some schools. If you feel pressured, leave.
