From the reviews

I could not be more pleased with our family's experience here. Master Bane is brilliant; and firm yet patient with the children. I feel relieved leaving my child in their care knowing she and her incredible team run a "tight ship.

★★★★★ — Amber, Aug 2017

Our daughter has learned self determination; leadership skills; discipline; self defense; and respect for herself and others. The staff is enthusiastic; helpful and kind. Master Bane is a great motivator, who is firm yet rejoices when a student succeeds. We are watching our daughter grow into a respectable young lady.

★★★★★ — Alison, Nov 2017

My children just had their first class here tonight and I can say this place is excellent definitely 5 stars. If the other students are an example of what my child will learn in this class then I will be beyond pleased. My girls are 4 and 11 and the class caters to both their needs.

Your first taekwondo class at Martial Arts World Glen Allen

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.
