From the reviews
I Absolutely love going to this martial arts place ty to my friend for getting me into martial arts and and like Mr.Martinez said one black belt at a time
This isn’t just another martial arts dojo it’s a family, a community. My daughter Z.Harris has been training with the staff since she was 5 and soon to be 16 next year. The longevity is not just us, there’s many I’ve seen over the years grow under the leadership of this company.
Great patient instructors . Family orientated, Great atmosphere . First time putting my 4year old in karate , awesome experience, they work well with our schedule , Great with group sessions and one /one . Really helped my boy gain self confidence and discipline. 10/10 recommended.
My kids, 4 and 9, have been training here for about 6 months and they love it. Mr. Chall is very patient and teaches them discipline, to become leaders, and how grow their skills based on their age and level so they can reach their goals and full potential.
New to taekwondo? Start at Martinez Martial Arts
Martinez 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 Martinez 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.
