From the reviews
OMG shout out to franc!!! Your awesome!! Very compassionate and understanding! I researched this place online and so grateful I did. Franc responded immediately and invited me and my daughters to try out a session. The session went great! This is exactly what I been looking for to manage my kids weight!
I found this gym while looking for a place to help me get in shape. The gym was full but welcoming! The type of atmosphere where everyone wants to see eachother reach their goals. People with years of experience were happy to workout with beginners.
This is the gym to bring your kids to to build up their confidence and at the same time meet new friends. The Trainers are absolutely great at taking care and training their students.
We couldn’t be more happier with our experience at Arlington Martial Arts. From day one, the coaches have been incredibly supportive, skilled, and patient with the kids. They focus not just on boxing techniques but also on discipline, confidence, and teamwork, which has been fantastic for my child’s development.
New to taekwondo? Start at Arlington Martial Arts - Youth Boxing & MMA Fitness for Kids
Arlington Martial Arts - Youth Boxing & MMA Fitness for Kids 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 Arlington Martial Arts - Youth Boxing & MMA Fitness for Kids
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.
