From the reviews
Several months ago my 4 kids started Taekwondo at International Taekwondo Academy. They have learned so much in such little time and ask to go multiple times ia week! If anyone is looking to get their kids into it, I absolutely 100% recommend! Master Jermaine is great with the kids and they all really look up to him.
Great Environment for aspiring athletes. Master Jermaine is one of the most dedicated and well respected coach I know.
I've known Master Jermaine from ITA going on 5 years now. He has been and continues to be a fantastic instructor, fighter, and mentor. He puts the utmost effort into his trainings and genuinely wants the students to learn, not just to promote endlessly.
Jermaine , Mr. Arthur and all the staff are wonderful. We enrolled our toddler son and they made everything very simple. Cost is both transparent and competitively priced. Jermaine is very friendly and easy to deal with.
New to taekwondo? Start at International Taekwondo Academy
International 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 International 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.
