From the reviews

My child loves doing karate at Basches. Sensei does an amazing job teaching karate and the elements of life and how to handle real life situations. She has improved her confidence level and focus at her time in the dojo!

★★★★★ — Lindsay, Jul 2025

We love the atmosphere. Everyone works really hard with the kids. My children have learned a lot about respect, self control, and their self esteem has skyrocketed. Adding more to this review since we've been there for about six months. My kids have continued to improve. I have one wild child and one very shy.

★★★★★ — Alley, Mar 2025

Update : Jake is now 10 years old and a Blackbelt. 🥋 Sensei Basche is as legit as ever!! I’ve met other “karate” instructors in town and they are a joke to say the least. I wouldn’t send my son to any other school ever!!! I genuinely appreciate the time and effort you take to help the students!!!!

★★★★★ — Kasey, Jan 2024

My son has been attending for a year and absolutely loves it!! The transformation that he has shown over the last year has been amazing. They teach respect in everything they do.

Your first taekwondo class at Basche's 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.

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.
