From the reviews

So apparently there are people who understand and appreciate martial arts. There are also people that will turn on someone who has taught them so much in today's world. I have spent more than 10 years in that dojang. Watched them pump out National champions every year.

Our 13 yo daughter has been at American for almost a year and absolutely loves it!! Her confidence has grown so much, and as parents, we love Master Aaron's teaching style. Honestly, all of her teachers have been amazing. I so highly recommend American Taekwondo and their staff, we will be here for years to come!

I’ve been doing Taekwondo here since I was 5. Now I’m 15 in the time I’ve been there I’ve won gold at 2 national tournaments and won gold at 2 international tournaments. More importantly though I’ve learned many valuable life lessons.

Your first taekwondo class at American Taekwondo Center

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.
