From the reviews
Our son has been taking lessons here for 2.5 years now and we absolutely LOVE it! Shane and Melanie are excellent instructors! They make it fun for the kiddos while also maintaining the importance and structure of what they are doing!
I wouldn’t go any where else except here. The Sensei is funny and is an amazing teacher of Taekwondo, while still making sure you follow the rules, and take the well-being of you and the class seriously.
Our son has been attending Lewis Martial Arts for roughly two years now. I cannot say enough good things about the instructor(s), Mr. Lewis and Ms. Betz. These two go above and beyond for the children each and every day. The after school care is a huge plus too. Mr.
Shane is THE BEST when it comes to martial arts and kids! My son went to him from a while belt 7 years old until he was a 3rd degree black belt at 14. He taught him so much about discipline, self defense, and helped him with having confidence in himself.
New to taekwondo? Start at Lewis Martial Arts
Lewis Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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 Lewis 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.
