From the reviews
Now. I've been going here for quite some time. And I'm a first degree black belt now! The teachers here are super inviting and friendly. With the right amount of stern teaching attitude and the fun teacher that everyone wants to be around 10/10 would recommend!
We love Elite & the amazing wonderful instructors. A must to take your kids for taekwondo.
Your first taekwondo class at Elite Martial Arts and 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.
