From the reviews
Our daughter started with a friend in May. She immediately fell in love with the sport and wanted to go to as many classes as she could. She practiced all the time at home and soon earned all her white belt stripes and tested to get her yellow belt.
This is the best place around to learn Taekwondo! Coach Joseph is knowledgeable and patient with the kids. They love coming to the classes. It's a good balance of hard work and having fun with interactive games at the end of class. Mrs.
We are extremely grateful for the existence of this school. Our son attends classes with pleasure. And we enthusiastically observe his achievements. Mr. Tegler teaches him not only the basics of taekwondo, but also to be patient and confident to go to the goal. Ideal place for children of all ages
Akula Taekwondo is so much more than just a karate school. They teach kids great life skills such as respect, discipline, focus, and teamwork. The staff is professional and truly cares about each child. They've been very conscious of cleanliness. I highly recommend this martial arts community!
New to taekwondo? Start at Akula Taekwondo
Akula Taekwondo comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Akula Taekwondo
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.
