★★★★★ — Cheryl, Jan 2025

We can’t thank Lvl up, Mrs. K, Mr. G and Mr. Moh enough for welcoming us to the family! Over the last 3/4 months our daughter’s confidence has grown and we have seen her stick up for herself and others. As a parent thats all I can ask for and so incredibly proud and grateful that we found lvl up. Thank you all!

★★★★★ — Jessica, Oct 2024

As you may see by all the 5 star reviews, Moh's has an excellent studio for not only instructing martial arts but creating a respectful, self confident, and discipline to a lifestyle. My 13 year old daughter has enjoyed working out with the diversity that exists in the class.

★★★★★ — T, Apr 2023

What an outstanding experience being a part of the LVLUP family! We are truly grateful to Mr. Moe and his top notch team of instructors. Since the moment my daughter enrolled in her first LVLUP class as a white belt, we knew that this place was special.

New to taekwondo? Start at LVLUP Martial Arts - Waunakee

LVLUP Martial Arts - Waunakee 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 LVLUP Martial Arts - Waunakee

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.
