From the reviews
My grandson attends and he is learning discipline and his esteem is growing which is what is lacking in today's society. I read the 1 star ratings (strange how they are all left at the exact same time! Can't help but think they are multiple accounts with negative reviews created by the same disgruntled parent!
This place is more than TKD... is about teaching kids life lessons, discipline, commitment, respect and of course TKD. They run a very strict program, class availability is fantastic. My daughter, 5yr old, love it since day#1. Mr./Mrs Hamlet are just excellent.
I have trained here for many years, and even after I moved from Vacaville to Sacramento I am still more than willing to commute here because I am extremely satisfied with the instruction, feedback, and my own personal results.
My son just started at Hamlet's Taekwondo and I have seen such an improvement in his attitude and behavior. I could not be more pleased! The one stars given are from parents who are mad if their child did not listen to the instructor and did not like their child getting reprimanded.
New to taekwondo? Start at Hamlet's Taekwondo Academy
Hamlet's Taekwondo Academy 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 Hamlet's Taekwondo Academy
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.
