From the reviews

Martial Arts World has been a game-changer for our family. Their summer camp and after-school program have made such a positive impact on my son. Not only is he staying active and healthy, but we’ve also seen a huge boost in his self-confidence, focus, and discipline.

Martial Arts World is the best after school place! Master Pelt, Anisa, and the rest of the staff are kind and helpful to the children and really treat them like family. They pick my son up from school and make sure he gets started on his homework.

Your first taekwondo class at Martial Arts World Orlando

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.
