From the reviews

The owner is by far the best Instructor I have ever known. He is extremely patient with all of his students. He is always pushing the positive and "can do" mentality. He always focuses on an each individuals strengths, but also caters to any physical limitations they may have.

★★★★★ — Kevin, Feb 2017

My children have been attending Ellixson's for a few years now and I could not be happier with their progression. The staff and owners are absolutely amazing people! It is very easy to see how much everyone, young and old, enjoys being there!

★★★★★ — Angie, Feb 2017

Love Love Love the Ellixson family and their entire staff! When my son showed interest in learning Martial Arts, my husband and I where thrilled since we know what a positive effect it can have. However, when we tried a class at a different place my son seemed very intimidated and immediately froze up.

★★★★★ — Teneil, Feb 2017

My two oldest kids (both 7) have been training with Mr. Ellixson and his staff for 3 years now. In that time, both Mr. Ellixson and his staff have been very professional and extremely caring my everyone in my family.

★★★★★ — Brian, Feb 2017

New to taekwondo? Start at Ellixson’s Tae Kwon Do Academy

Ellixson’s Tae Kwon Do Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Ellixson’s Tae Kwon Do Academy

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.
