The classes they run
“I was very impressed with their teaching methods and their ability to connect with all of their students, be it young children to adults.”
“Davis also created a program for the younger children called "Little Dragons" ages 4 to 5 so they wouldn't feel left out while watching there older siblings in class.”
“For someone looking for an adult class with plenty of helpful and friendly students, I came to the right place.”

From the reviews
My son has been a student of theirs for nearly a year now and this review is long overdue. First off, the Davis family, Warren, Elizabeth, and their son, Zachary, are just amazingly good people in general. They are also all great Taekwondo instructors.
Initially when we enrolled our son in Davis' Taekwondo America, in an effort to teach him responsibility and commitment we found very soon that his experience in the school had enhanced those attributes significantly.
Our family has been taking classes at Davis Taekwondo America for almost 2 years. Both of my daughters are taking classes and because they were having so much fun I joined the adult classes. It has been a wonderful experience for our family.
I first started taking Taekwondo with the Davis' when I was in second grade. It is something I can truly say I have always loved to do. I couldn't picture myself learning such an art form from anyone other than the Davis'.
New to taekwondo? Start at Davis Taekwondo America
Davis Taekwondo America 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 Davis Taekwondo America
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.
