From the reviews
I cannot recommend Full Circle Dojang enough! Our now 7 y.o. son began here 2 years ago within the “Little Dragon” program and loves all aspects of it: the goal setting, learning, training and testing.
My boys 3 & 6 both attend and what a difference in both! Mr Jackson asked at the very first class what we wished each child to accomplish. One child needed more self control and the other needed more confidence. During class you can witness the slightly different approaches for each child and the results are amazing!
I’ve only stepped foot in a Karate Studio twice in my life! And they were both this week to watch my son try the Little Dragon class (4-7yr olds) and I have to say I was so impressed! Charles was knowledgeable, great with kids & has lots of fun games up his sleeve to keep the kids moving.
Full Circle Dojang is a fantastic Martial Arts School. My boys have grown since beginning classes there. They really treat their students like family, and they strive to not only help each child grow, but to make them feel like they can accomplish anything.
New to taekwondo? Start at Full Circle Dojang
Full Circle Dojang comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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 Full Circle Dojang
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.
