From the reviews
I can’t recommend Cox Martial Arts enough! From the moment I walked in, you feel welcomed by an amazing group of instructors who are not only highly skilled but genuinely passionate about teaching. The classes are well-structured, challenging, and fun, whether you’re a beginner or have experience.
Ms. Lee has been supportive my daughter, Penny. She’s always friendly, patient, and so helpful during her taekwondo classes. You can tell she really cares about each kid. Honestly, Cox Martial Arts is an amazing place all around.
Since 2021, my family and I have been patrons of Cox Martial Arts. This establishment offers an excellent environment for learning Taekwondo. The instructors are highly skilled, the staff is welcoming, and the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Cox, are exceptional individuals.
We have been to multiple ATA schools in our 6 years of Taekwondo and this is hands down the best school we have attended. My daughter absolutely loves coming and working hard. Mr. & Mrs. Cox are passionate about what they do and it really shows! The staff is also amazing!
New to taekwondo? Start at Cox Martial Arts Magnolia - Taekwondo & Jiu-Jitsu
Cox Martial Arts Magnolia - Taekwondo & Jiu-Jitsu 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 Cox Martial Arts Magnolia - Taekwondo & Jiu-Jitsu
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.
