From the reviews
I've enjoyed the growth that I've seen in my son and daughter as they've been in the program. They have gained confidence and respect. They are held accountable among their peers and that is a valuable trait that they'll need as they grow. The staff is caring and professional.
My twin daughters.have attended since they were 4 years old, they have excelled tremendously and have increased confidence, discipline, coordination, balance and fighting skills. This is a must for youngsters.
My family and I are loving our experience with American Taekwon Do!!! They are outstanding with the children. My son is currently in the little ninjas class ages 3-5 and he loves it! Every routine is new and refreshing to watch, the staff is welcoming friendly family oriented and very patient with each child.
Great organization with instructors who are passionate about their students' success in martial arts and life. My child is enrolled in a very well-structured program and absolutely loves it, with self-confidence, fitness and respect for self and others, He continuing to grow.
New to taekwondo? Start at American Taekwon Do
American Taekwon Do 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 American Taekwon Do
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.
