From the reviews
Mr. Ginger is so good with all the kids!!! Even while closed down due to the coronavirus, he was still doing live videos to try to keep everyone active! We’ve been attending Frankfort Martial Arts for a few years now and the amount of self confidence my children have gained from Mr.
Has such a great atmosphere to watch my duaghter gain valuable experience and lessons . Self respect, accountability, integrity, confidence , and situation awareness ;these are many characteristics of the culture at Frankfort martial arts and lessons not to mention a mean round kick .
As a social worker, I’m super protective of my kids. I am very thankful to find quality after school/child care/martial arts with transportation that is in our budget. My kids learn better manner, anti bullying techniques, excise, in a safe sanitary environment. Highly trained staff my kids love.
My children and I have been taking classes for 2 years here. Mr. Ginger is an excellent instructor and the young black belts are very friendly. The classes are fun for young children who learn and develop their skills not only physically but also to grow as good people.
New to taekwondo? Start at Frankfort Martial Arts
Frankfort 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 Frankfort 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.
