From the reviews
For over a decade, Hi Yah Tae Kwon Do has been an integral part of our family's journey, thanks to the remarkable guidance of Professor Bennett. Our two sons began their Tae Kwon Do journey here, and the transformation we've witnessed is nothing short of phenomenal.
My 9-year old son has been going to Hi-Yah! for about 2 years now. I must say, Mr. Bennett is an amazing instructor for the kids and he's developed a team of assistants who follow his lead. He's very patient but very firm with his students.
Hi Yah is a wonderful place for kids to be introduced to martial arts! Mr. Bennet flawlessly mixes fun and discipline! Kids not only stay interested, but are motivated to work to be their best selves! The facility is clean and well kept, and the fee is a reasonable, no contract deal.
Mr. Bennett lives up to his word as a fabulous instructor. He's amazing, patient and very comical. My boys have learned so much about themselves in the time since starting. He not only teaches them Taekwondo but also how to self respect yourself and others, as well as behaving at home and at school.
Your first taekwondo class at Hi Yah Tae Kwon Do
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.
