From the reviews
Where to start. This is long over due. A good reason for this review. Life takes over. Things get busy and hectic. Sometimes it feels like there is no time for anything else, let alone the pressures and stresses of trying to learn something new. Here at Central Vermont Martial Arts it's different.
It’s been 20 years since I was in a class and this has been a fantastic re-introduction for me. Very informative, paced for all ages, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!
The Central Vermont Martial Arts program is fantastic. The instructor, Jeremy, is always positive and encouraging. He is concerned with the progress of every student. I strongly recommend this program for mental and physical development.
My 6-year-old and I have had a great time attending the family classes here. They're at the right time for me to get off work and bring him, and it's really fun for us to learn and work together.
New to taekwondo? Start at Central Vermont Martial Arts
Central Vermont Martial Arts 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 Central Vermont 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. 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.
