From the reviews
I have been practicing Taekwondo for the past eight years and am a third-degree black belt. I am currently a freshman at CSU and was looking for a Taekwondo school to continue my martial arts journey. I looked at many different schools in Fort Collins before confidently landing on the Becks.
We have loved having our daughter be part of Becks' Martial Arts! She has participated in this great school as a kindergartener and has enjoyed every minute of it! Mr. and Mrs. Beck, along with their dedicated staff, are truly skilled professionals that set high expectations for their students as well as themselves.
We have been with Becks for 3 years. Our youngest started off as a tiger who loved all the fun games the instructors incorporated. Our older son is now a recommended black belt in the Leadership who is excited to become an Instructor one day.
Our son loves Beck’s for his Tae Kwan Doe. Master Beck and Mrs Beck and everyone they work with are so patient and passionate about TKD. Our son has learned so much and TKD has helped him with focusing on tasks.
New to taekwondo? Start at Becks' Martial Arts
Becks' Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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 Becks' 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.
