From the reviews
My son has been a Little Tiger at Champions Ave R for over a year - bi weekly training classes, summer camp and a daily afterschool program. We love Master Hakan, his wife and Master Demirkan and are so proud to be part of this martial arts family.
My daughter has been training at Champions Martial Arts Avenue R, and I couldn’t be happier with the care, professionalism, and safety they provide. The instructors always put the well-being of every child first, creating a positive and supportive environment for both students and families.
Under Master Hakan's guidance, my children have been training in taekwondo for about 7 years. The younger one was 4 years old and the older one was 6 when they started. Now, they are 11 and 13 years old. When we first met Hakan Hoca, we had no prior experience with martial arts, especially taekwondo.
Champions Martial Arts is an absolutely fantastic place to train! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the positive and welcoming atmosphere. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and provides a great environment for both beginners and experienced martial artists.
New to taekwondo? Start at CHAMPIONS MARTIAL ARTS AVENUE R
CHAMPIONS MARTIAL ARTS AVENUE R 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 CHAMPIONS MARTIAL ARTS AVENUE R
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.
