From the reviews

I have attended CMA for over two years as of this review, and I look forward to continuing my training here. This has been one of the best confidence boosters, and the best physical training that I have ever had. And not only do they train your body, but also your mind and soul.

★★★★★ — Jack, Jun 2022

This place is excellent! The instructors there make you feel right at home, and like you can fully be yourself! They push you to, and pass your limits, they understand if you have a bad day or if your going through a hard time.

★★★★★ — Zada, Jan 2021

Very skilled instructors with a rich history in martial arts! This is absolutely one of the best if not the best in a 60 mile radius! I visited 5-6 different gyms, watched classes, asked questions, gathered details, and called more then that before landing here.

New to taekwondo? Start at Action Zone CMA

Action Zone CMA 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 Action Zone CMA

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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
