From the reviews
My family's experience with KMA Bartlett has been nothing but positive. My daughter has learned so much about the art of Kyukido and self control since she started in November. It has been wonderful to watch her confidence blossom!!!
After looking for a Martial Arts school for several years, I was happy to find KMA of Bartlett. Our instructor is great and loves to help the students learn. Absolutely stop in and give it a try.
As a parent, it matters to me that my 5-year-old daughter grows up as a strong and confident woman without becoming a bully. Real martial arts teaches character, discipline, and how to use your personal strengths to work with others without fear. KMA of Bartlett is simply outstanding in its quality of training.
We have our 4 year old son and 2.5 year old daughter enrolled at the academy and they absolutely love this class. Miss Sugino is a great teacher, patient yet firm. As a parent, I really enjoy the class also. I would strongly recommend this as an extracurricular activity for any child.
Your first taekwondo class at KMA of Bartlett
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.
