My nephew has learned self control and respect for others through this school. The instructors are firm when they need to be and supportive to the student as well as the family. Rewards are earned and not just given, the celebrations are just as important as the lesson and the learning process.

★★★★★ — Monique, Feb 2017

My wife and I enjoyed the awesome experience of watching our son Josiah take part in after school karate. In the short space of time we were there, Josiah has learned a lot. Master Holmes and his team are warm, welcoming, structured, and love what they do.

Your first taekwondo class at Gladiator 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.
