From the reviews
Docarmo's Taekwondo Center is owned and operated by 6th Degree Master Anne Docarmo. Ms. Docarmo was my instructor in Sioux City. I teach in Sioux City, IA and can tell you that Ms. Docarmo is the finest instructor in the United States.
We had the pleasure of attending one of Mrs Docarmo’s Taekwondo Rank Advance Testing. Over 100 students demonstrating their skills for advancement. My family and I were welcomed with open arms from everyone in her school. Mrs Docarmo has an extensive background in Taekwondo and Martial Arts.
We loved our time here. Our 6 year old really thrived here. Her discipline improved greatly and she loved it. The instructors are all amazing. They have the perfect combination of fun, hard work, and discipline. I most enjoyed the family atmosphere. They genuinely care about all the students and their families.
We recommend Docarmo's Taekwondo Center to everyone who wants a family friendly learning experience. Dorcarmo's has produced three black belts within our family, from start to finish. Our youngest is still taking lessons. Come and try out the wonderful classes, Monday through Saturday's every week.
Your first taekwondo class at Docarmos Taekwondo Center
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.
