From the reviews
It was my Six year old daughter first day today (07/20/16); she was crying and extremely timid. The instructor noticed and instantly jumped into action, which made my daughter feel calm and welcomed. I really like how much patience the instructors have with their students.
AMYS is the best! My kids have been coming here for years and are well on their way to black belt. The masters and instructors are the best!
Love this place so much, been going here since I was four and I’ve loved every year, it’s now been ten years and I’m a black belt, about to test for my second, and I’ve loved every year here. They taught me so much, including discipline, respect, courtesy, self defense, confidence, and general life skills too!
I firmly believe all the masters and teachers are great influence to all the kids who attend the classes. My son Jayden loves martial arts his goal is to be a black belt one day and is dying to participate in tournaments already ahaha so far so good one of my best investments has been enrolling my son at Amys martial…
New to taekwondo? Start at Amys Martial Arts
Amys Martial Arts 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 Amys Martial Arts
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.
