From the reviews
Great place. My kids really enjoy class and the Master is amazing with them even when they are a handful. It's worth every penny I spent on it. My kids behave better at home and in class. I owe a big thanks to the master for being so kind to my kids.
Excellent training and quality programs. Our whole family trains together at Bettencourt's Taekwondo and Hapkido and we have a great time learning new skills and working out
Mr. Bettencourt is an outstanding martial artist. A caring instructor that pays attention to all who walk through the door.
Your first taekwondo class at Bettencourt's Taekwon-Do America
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.
