From the reviews

I enrolled my grandson to help with some issues we have with him and he loves coming. He is learning respect, manners, and self control. They work with the kids and the family to help the child learn and develop new skills and appreciation to their family. The instructors are awesome and connect with the kids.

Legendary Martial Arts has been a great experience for my child so far. She is ADHD and needs a lot of help focusing, listening, and following directions. She has been through a tough time and could also benefit from learning how to respect others, encourage others, and discipline.

★★★★★ — Kelly, Nov 2021

My 6 year old has been consistently taking classes for over a month now and in that month ive seen him grow confidence, gain focus and be excited to learn new skills. This facility is family owned and it shows. The dedication and passion the staff has shows in every class. Mr.

★★★★★ — Keegan, Nov 2023

My son has self esteem issues we are working through, and the instructors WORKED. I’m very grateful they didn’t give up on my son even he started crying and refused to participate. Instead they picked him up off the bench and physically carried him back out to the mat. My son is excited to learn and understand.

New to taekwondo? Start at Legendary Martial Arts

Legendary Martial Arts 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 Legendary Martial Arts

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.
