From the reviews
We love everything about Boyer Academy. It’s an incredible business ran by an incredible family. They have so much to offer. We now have three members of the household enrolled in classes. We began with my son because he was getting bullied in school.
Boyer Academy isn’t just a martial arts school—it’s a launchpad for confidence, discipline, and community. My kids walked in as shy ducklings, and now they’re strutting out like warriors with purpose (and some seriously cool kicks). 🥋 The instructors don’t just teach karate—they live leadership.
I couldn't possibly say enough glowing words about Matthew Boyer and his team. As the mom of an amazingly autistic teen, I have seen the life-changing impact that Tae Kwon Do at Boyer Academy has made on my daughter.
Stopped in for a trial class with a group of kids. Both boys had a great time and you can tell how much time and effort goes into this place. Master Matt was great with the kids. Definitely recommend checking out Boyer Academy for your martial arts needs!
New to taekwondo? Start at Boyer Academy
Boyer Academy 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 Boyer 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.
