My son has gotten his black belt! I love the instruction and discipline that he has received. UMAM is like a giant family. The experience has been amazing!

★★★★★ — Chinell, Jul 2023

UMA provides a dedicated and quality Martial Arts experience. Master El is an excellent instructor and very patient/understanding yet gently firm with the kids. I highly recommend this studio for basic martial arts training or for those with experience looking for a more exercise focused program.

Your first taekwondo class at Dojang Temple

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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
