From the reviews
Don't look anywhere else. You will find more than amazing Martial Arts instruction here. You will find true mentors for your children and entire family in Master Chewning and his incredible staff.
Four years ago, I brought in my 10 yr old daughter who was, at the time, struggling with low muscle tone (strength) and self-esteem. Fast forward four years. She is now a 2nd degree level 1 black belt who smashes wood. 😂 Her confidence has soared.
Master Chewning and his team of instructors have really challenged our daughters in their martial arts journey. We came to Get RAW from another dojang in Lexington in January 2020 and haven't regretted that decision even through pandemic induced alterations.
Our son is so happy to be part of this group! We have moved 3 times which necessitated finding a different TKD studio each time. We want him to learn discipline, life skills, and accountability through TKD; we need it to be more than kicking and punching.
Your first taekwondo class at Brian Chewning’s GetRaw Martial Arts
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.
