From the reviews
Mr. Porter and his entire staff are fantastic. My daughter who is 4 started about a month ago because her therapist recommended it for focusing and behaviors. The entire staff at focus martial arts does an amazing job helping each and every student.
I recently enrolled my 3-year-old son in the little ninjas class, and I must say, it has been a fantastic experience for both of us. The class is designed perfectly for preschoolers, striking a balance between fun and learning valuable skills.
We love Focus Martial Arts, the instructors are knowledgeable and patient and professional! Your child will learn focus, drive, discipline, community and so much more!
Focus Martial Arts has been such a positive part of my son’s life over the past year. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient, kind, and encouraging. My son looks forward to every class—he’s gained confidence, discipline, and has so much fun while learning.
New to taekwondo? Start at Focus Martial Arts
Focus Martial Arts 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 Focus 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.
