From the reviews
We have been at CORE for a little over a year now and I love the way everyone has welcomed my us. All the instructors are so helpful and very patient, I know this first hand now since I too take a class at the studio.
This is the best martial arts studio for all ages. They teach not only the fitness aspect but the life lessons that kids need today. The staff are very helpful and the instructors go over and beyond for their students. Great job Core Fitness and Martial Arts!
We LOVE the Core Fitness Dojo.... The students are highly trained with special weapons and tactics based on the outstanding instructors. The Instructors motivate the students with high morale....
I just want to express how amazing Core Fitness and Martial Arts is! My child joined in June 2024, and coming from the Philippines, we were eager to find something positive for him to join based on the great reviews. It certainly did not disappoint!
New to taekwondo? Start at Core Fitness & Martial Arts
Core Fitness & 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 Core Fitness & 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.
