From the reviews
You will see the difference in your child's attitude and confidence. They have fun, build their skills, meet new friends, and build their character.
We love BE Martial Arts! 3 of our children attend classes there ages ranging from 4-7 as well as participating in adult class myself. All the kids take great pride in their classes and understand responsibility and respect in a whole new level after attending.
I have been studying tai chi with Mr. Bowman for 3 years and he is a very knowledgeable and skilled teacher. He is always willing to share and explain the forms or postures. My balance and breathing have improved greatly. I’m very happy to have found BE Martial Arts.
We have two kids that attend classes weekly and we LOVE it here. I love how all the kids interact with each other and are willing to help/lead when needed. It’s not just a class either. There are real life examples of safety and topics that are applied to our daily life.
New to taekwondo? Start at BE Martial Arts
BE 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 BE 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.
