Crawford's Tae Kwon Do is not your average Tae Kwon Do school. It's quite a bit better. Before I continue, you probably want to how how reliable my review really is. Here you go: I am a third degree blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do, and I've been doing it for nearly three quarters of my life at this point.
My name is Thirushan, and I've been a student at Crawford's Tae Kwon Do for 7 years. When I first joined, I was an undersized preteen who was being incessantly bullied. At that time, Mr.
I recently took my 9 year old cousin to a Saturday class and I was absolutely blown away with how comfortable Mr. Crawford made her feel. He most definitely made her feel welcomed given this was her very first karate class ever. Mr.Crawford coached all of the kids equally.
Your first taekwondo class at Crawford's Tae Kwon Do
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.
