I highly recommend this Martial Arts Center to anyone looking to have their son or daughter in one of the most inviting, friendly, and positive environments.
We’ve been coming to Central Movement for almost 6 months already and my son has had such a great experience so far!!!! He loves going to his classes, and the instructors were incredibly patient with him the first couple classes until he really got the hang of things.
We’ve been attending Central Movement for nearly a year. Our kids love their classes. We already know we’re going to be here for years to come. Mr. Kirk is wonderful with the kids! He remembers every child’s name in every class, even the new kids.
Central Movement martial arts has been such a huge benefit for my son and my grandson. They have benefited from the classes, becoming more confident, disciplined, and social. Mr & Mrs. Kirk has helped them improve their fitness, self-defense skills, and attitude.
Your first taekwondo class at Central Movement - 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.
