From the reviews
I have been going to Heritage Martial Arts (formerly Monaghan's Taekwondo) for more than 5 years. It is an amazing place, I am now a 2nd degree black belt, I like it so much that when my parents can't drive me there, I ride my bike sometimes on Saturdays.
Obsessed! What an amazing group of instructors, and future champions at HMA! Heritage Martial Arts hold high standards on and off the mat for their students and instructors! They are kicking targets and taking names! Thanks for all the hard work you put in to help my Martial artist grow!
We love Monaghan's! I highly recommend it. The classes are focused but fun. It is learning with structure and discipline in its best form. The instructor guides the students to learn and progress through each belt over an 8 to 10-week training period.
My kids have been attending Monaghan's studio for about two years. The facility is sparkling clean, classes are varied enough that I can get them to class more often than not, Mr. Monaghan is exceptionally talented with the kids. They respect him and he respects them.
New to taekwondo? Start at Heritage Martial Arts Academy LLC
Heritage Martial Arts Academy LLC 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 Heritage Martial Arts Academy LLC
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.
