From the reviews

I have been going to this karate studio for about four years and it's been a blast. All the instructors are kind and helpful and they even encourage older students to work with leadership skills and teach as well! They offer different weapons of all varieties and self defences to help defend yourself.

★★★★★ — Robbin, Nov 2022

Black belt karate studio is awesome. My daughter is a student there and she loves it. The instructors offer support and encouragement. They do not only teach karate. They teach their students how to be good people.

★★★★★ — Renee, Oct 2022

My daughter has grown immensely in maturity and confidence. She even does better in school since joining CMA. We love this place

★★★★★ — Robbie, Nov 2023

We’re so happy we found this place! Our kids have never done martial arts before and we wanted to get them into something to help with their ADHD, ASD, focus, self discipline, and confidence. They’ve only been in there for two months and we already notice the positive improvement.

New to taekwondo? Start at Championship Martial Arts - Racine

Championship Martial Arts - Racine 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 Championship Martial Arts - Racine

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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
