From the reviews
My son has been at David Vincent’s for almost a year now. I am beyond impressed with the professionalism but also the personal and friendly feel of the classes. My son lacks confidence and we’ve been working on self control - I think that David Vincent’s has made a huge difference.
Our son has been a part of David Vincent’s Martial Arts for over a year and a half. The instructors are great with kids and are very patient and kind. My son has made a lot of new friends and has more self confidence than ever. Highly recommend for any child looking for extracurricular activity.
My entire family has been training here for a year and we feel like we hit the jackpot by discovering this place. We've never practiced martial arts anywhere else, but this has to be one of the top schools in the nation. David and Sarah Vincent are phenomenal martial artists.
My oldest son went through the entire youth program and they are great about teaching respect and discipline (I don't mean disciplining the children). We have since enrolled my youngest in the youth program and my oldest son has now started in the teen program.
New to taekwondo? Start at David Vincent's Martial Arts & Fitness
David Vincent's Martial Arts & Fitness 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 David Vincent's Martial Arts & Fitness
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.
