From the reviews
Master Pacheco is a person that is very kind and loving i can see he loves working with the kids and kids love him. He is a good teacher not only in taekwondo but he teaches how you should act in life. Thank you Master Pacheco you ar the best!
I give my highest recommendation to the International Academy of Taekwondo. My son had gone here for about two years until we moved to another city, and he had learned a lot about not just a sport also about responsibility, respect, kindness, hard work and so much more!!!. I cannot say enough good things about Mr. P.

Your first taekwondo class at International Academy of TaeKwonDo
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.
