From the reviews
World class training and instruction with focus on mind, body and spirit. The unique instruction and material provided are truly second to none and won't be found anywhere else in the area, let alone the country.
Quality martial arts. I've been training here for over 10 years and there's always something new to learn. Great not just for self-defense, but for cardio, balance, strength and flexibility. Great for all ages!
Mr. Marquart is an exceptional instructor. I learned a great deal about diligence and commitment. His class is as challenging as it is rewarding.
I have not been able to go there and do it my self but I think it will be awesome
New to taekwondo? Start at Marquart's Tae Kwon Do and Kumdo
Marquart's Tae Kwon Do and Kumdo 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 Marquart's Tae Kwon Do and Kumdo
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.
