From the reviews
Highly welcoming and encouraging school for all levels of training... plenty of parking... plenty of training equipment and plenty of martial experience between grandmaster joe pena and master Pedro Xavier... great place to find the warrior within yourself.
I have been a student at Boston Taekwondo for over eight years. I absolutely love it here. The teachers and staff are very caring, and always push you to be your best. The cardio classes are challenging, but are always fun and are welcoming to all levels. This is definitely the best Taekwondo studio on the South Shore.
I have been going to Boston Taekwondo Academy since I was 4 years old. I am now a 3rd degree black belt and still learn something new every class. Grandmaster Pina is the best around. The staff is super friendly and supportive. If you plan on taking any martial arts class, this is the place to be!
Our WHOLE family has been going here for over ten years. It's a great place for kids to learn self discipline and confidence. Where else can you be trained by an Olympic Coach !!!!!
New to taekwondo? Start at Boston Taekwondo
Boston Taekwondo 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 Boston Taekwondo
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.
