From the reviews

We've been taking our daughter here for 3.5 years and it's been gratifying to see her growth during that time frame. She is making her way through the black belt program thanks to the wonderful direction, watchful eyes and guidance of a number of instructors.

★★★★★ — Sam, Oct 2016

We have been a part of the Kicks family for over 10 years now! Can not speak highly enough about the dedication all of the instructors have for teaching and passing on their love for martial arts on to each of the students.

★★★★★ — Kristen, Dec 2016

We've had a tremendous experience at Kicks Unlimited! The instructors and staff provide a hugely positive influence on my son's development. Not only is he learning karate and improving his fitness, but he is also learning about character -- respect, open-mindedness, integrity, etc.

Your first taekwondo class at Empower Martial Arts

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.
