From the reviews
What more can I say about how enriching of an experience that Champion’s Taekwondo have done for my kids? I, as a parent, have fully supported Champion’s Taekwondo’s curriculum and teachings from day one. Trust the process!!
Witnessing the positive transformation of my grandson, into a confident and respectful young man, has been quite the experience. Not only in his interactions with grownups but also with his peers. I look forward to seeing him continue his progress to black belt and beyond.
My son has been attending for over a year, and we couldn't be happier! Master Chris and all the instructors are incredibly friendly and great with kids. In addition to teaching essential taekwondo skills, they make the classes fun and engaging by incorporating games. My son enjoys coming here every week.
The mom fb groups were right! This is the best TKD school in our area. The Master and Instructors are kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable. We toured other TKD school and found that they didn’t have the true spark to work with kids.
New to taekwondo? Start at Champions Martial Arts Little Neck
Champions Martial Arts Little Neck 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 Champions Martial Arts Little Neck
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.
