From the reviews

Boston TKD was kind enough to offer us 3 months payment plan. We pay 3 months ahead instead of 6 months. Although I do hope they are more flexible with the payment methods, but I understand their every business has their way to run the business and I respect that.

★★★★★ — Samantha, Jan 2023

The staff is amazing and friendly here! Special shoutouts to Mr. George and Ms. Lisa for motivating and inspiring me to get back into the gym after 10 years. I enjoy their small talk (health tips and compliments :). Meeting them was one of the best things that happened to me. Forever grateful thank you!

★★★★★ — Filomeno, Jun 2024

Former student here. The quality of the workouts is great, and once you get a junior black belt, you get this katana. But I recommend that all parents hide this katana from their kids so they don't hurt themselves nor other people because this is a real katana.

★★★★★ — Joseph, Jun 2026

Been coming here for years and love it! This gym feels like a family, where everyone of all ages and abilities is welcome. The adult kickboxing workouts kick my butt!

New to taekwondo? Start at Boston TKD Academy & Fitness

Boston TKD Academy & Fitness 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 TKD Academy & Fitness

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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
