Taekwondo — Korea's Olympic martial art — is now America's most popular martial art for kids, and Florida has schools for every reason people train: a child's first white belt, discipline and focus, fitness and self-defense, women's classes, or the competition and demo team.

Taekwondo in Florida: common questions

How many taekwondo schools are in Florida?
Our directory lists 274 taekwondo schools across 117 cities in Florida. The cities with the most are Miami (20), Tampa (11), Orlando (7).
How much do taekwondo classes cost a month in Florida?
Among Florida schools that publish a rate, monthly memberships run about $65–$149 (median around $90), usually with a uniform and periodic belt-testing fees on top. Prices vary by school and how often you train, and many schools don't post online — so check the school's own schedule. Our cost guide breaks down what to expect.
Are free trial classes available in Florida?
Yes — 91 schools in Florida advertise a free trial, free first class, or intro week. It's the low-pressure way to try a class before you enroll; confirm the current offer on the school's site.
Can beginners and kids start taekwondo in Florida?
Absolutely — taekwondo welcomes all ages and levels, and it's one of America's most popular martial arts for kids. 161 Florida schools are highlighted by students as beginner-friendly, and 253 run kids' or youth programs. You don't need to be fit or flexible to start, and every student begins as a white belt.
Do I need to be fit or flexible to start taekwondo?
No. You can start with no fitness base and no experience — classes build your strength, flexibility, and coordination over time. You begin with the fundamentals — stances, blocks, kicks, and forms (poomsae) — at your own pace. Sparring (kyorugi) is introduced gradually with protective gear, and a good school never rushes beginners into it. Taekwondo is built on respect and discipline, so everyone trains at their own level.
