From the reviews
I remember the night my sister picked up the phone book (Yes, 32 years ago when I was 12 years old, they made actual phone books!) & called a place then called "Kim's Academy" and asked if they could teach her brother who was in a wheelchair. Without any hesitation, Master Bennett said yes.
Great family atmosphere and the instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and patient.
Your first taekwondo class at Bennett's Taekwondo Academy
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.
