From the reviews
My 8yo son has autism and he can be difficult to work with on activities like this, that require focus and discipline. Well, our first lesson was today and I could not believe how well the instructor was able to get my ornery ball of energy to follow along and take it seriously.
Where do I begin! Amazing Staff! My daughter is DEAF and they have an instructor that learned and continuing to learn ASL to help her succeed! She has struggled with being shy and she’s gaining self confidence, time management, and the love of a healthy-active workout twice a week.
Wow, we cannot say enough good things about our experiences at KOMO in North Olathe! Our first experience was through a Girl Scout event with our troop. The girls had an absolute blast: the teachers were engaging, the class content was fun, and the girls got a badge at the end.
Five Stars across the board for KOMA and their staff. Our son has ADHD and we were having trouble finding activities that he enjoyed and organizations that could accommodate him. KOMA opened their arms and hearts to him and watching his growth since joining has been amazing!
New to taekwondo? Start at Ko Martial Arts - North Olathe
Ko Martial Arts - North Olathe 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 Ko Martial Arts - North Olathe
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.
