From the reviews
I had so much fun joining in the sample of activity at the ribbon cutting! Who knew as a parent I learned so much more than I thought. Watching and practicing with my daughter as she was growing up, I had to stay for the class, so I knew what and how to help my child practice. The memories came flooding back!!!
My son is 12. He had been in karate for 1 year before his dojo closed. This dojo teaches Taekwondo but works with students of all ranks from beginners to people with much more expertise. They will gladly accept former karate students and help them make the transition to Taekwondo with confidence.
Instructor Lanning creates an environment of fun learning with a focus on safety and individual development at all ages. I as well as my 3 children have been his students for several years. While we have moved to the Elston YMCA we are still looking for fellow students. I highly recommend trying out this school.
I joined this class for the physical activity. I ended up really liking the class. Instructor Joe Lanning is very knowledgeable, black belt, many years experience! He is patient and lets you go at your own pace. Highly recommended trying it, you may like it.
New to taekwondo? Start at Diamond Martial Arts & Fitness - LLC
Diamond Martial Arts & Fitness - LLC 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 Diamond Martial Arts & Fitness - LLC
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.
