From the reviews
We love Elite Martial Arts! This is a family run business that truly loves all of their students. the facilities are always clean, the staff is friendly and the payment process is seamless.
My four year old son is currently enrolled in their Tiny Elite program and I’m so looking forward to him growing here! It’s a great way for the kids to burn off some energy, they learn to listen to and follow instructions, and they learn about sportsmanship and discipline.
I recently signed my son up for the Tiny Elites program at Elite Martial Arts, and we've had a amazing experience thus far! The instructors are not only professional and well-organized, but they also genuinely strive to build real connections with my son.
GM Radiant and his wife are great teachers of the Martial Art. Both are passionate & diligently working with the youth. The Dojang is very welcoming, clean and inspiring. This is a great place to learn and grow.
New to taekwondo? Start at Elite Martial Arts of Brooklyn
Elite Martial Arts of Brooklyn 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 Elite Martial Arts of Brooklyn
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.
