From the reviews

My 10 y/o son and 8 y/o daughter have been students since March 1. The staff is awesome with the children and super friendly to both students and parents! My children absolutely LOVE going to class and have become tremendously more respectful, well-behaved, polite, responsible, and compassionate over the few weeks…

My child is 5 y/o and has been attending the academy for a month now, and I would say that was the best decision we took for our daughter. We absolutely loved everyone there. The instructors are more than amazing. They are super patient with kids, and would always find ways to help your child learn.

★★★★★ — Ghofrana, Feb 2022

This place is a GEM.. my 4 year old started Taekwondo here and loved every moment of it. They have a free 6 month trial for parents, when kids enroll, and I tried it. The experience has been amazing through and through. The masters are extremely friendly and knowledgeable.

★★★★★ — Aswathi, Jul 2024

We love Jeremy Black Taekwondo Academy. The staff are very friendly, personable, and helpful. They really care about the children/ adults who come to learn Taekwondo at their Academy. They teach the children/ adults much more than just kicking and punching in their Taekwondo classes.

New to taekwondo? Start at Jeramy Black's TaeKwonDo Academy

Jeramy Black'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 Jeramy Black'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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
