From the reviews
I started training here when I moved to South Florida in 1981. You don't stick with a martial arts school for over 30 years unless it becomes part of your life. The instruction is terrific, combining martial arts and physical conditioning, but what makes you stay is the family atmosphere.
Master Nelson and the coaches are exceptional at engaging and getting the most out of the young children. My 4-year-old focuses and puts his all into every class, thanks to the help he receives from the instructors.
Master Nelson is amazing with children. You would be hard pressed to find a better martial arts academy anywhere in Palm Beach. As a current educator and former World Champion the teaching methods are highly effective adding self confidence, self control and respect. Highly recommend this studio.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Miguel was one of the first people I met when I moved to this country from Mexico—almost 29 years ago! My family and I have never forgotten him. He’s incredibly smart, hard-working, and full of discipline and heart.
New to taekwondo? Start at Boca Raton ATA Taekwondo Club
Boca Raton ATA Taekwondo Club 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 Boca Raton ATA Taekwondo Club
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.
