From the reviews
I signed my kids up for the "trial" days. They both absolutely LOVED it after the first day! As they have continued, I have seen improvement each and every lesson. It has been amazing to see their improvement in a very small amount of time!
Me and my two older brothers used to go here for a good few years. I’ve always loved the teaching style, and amazing opportunities the dojo gives. I do hope to one day return to the dojo, and work to receive my long awaiting black belt; still hanging on the rack above the doors.
To be honest... I think they give away the beginning belts too easily. When I was a kid, I never graduated from white belt because I couldn't do summersaults well.
Three of my kids are students here. The classes are disciplined, well organized and well run. Along with physical fitness they learn to work hard and overcome increasingly harder challenges. They learn how to fail. One of my kids didn’t pass an exam and they had to wait longer to get their belt, no coddling.
Your first taekwondo class at Extreme 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.
