From the reviews
Love it . The best place to built self confidence , discipline, and concentration. Master Robert Summer and all instructors , they take care of everyone and warmly welcome to the class .Four members of our family ( myself , two sons, and daughter)joined the class since 2021 and love this place .
Both my (toddler) daughter and I attend. Love the adult classes! And they are so good with the younger kids. Great for discipline, but also fun. She absolutely loves it as well.
It is an awesome environment for all kids and adults. My child has learned so much not only about karate but about discipline,respect, and integrity and I appreciate each one who helps my child take those small but so mighty steps in life. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a special place to take their child
It's the best martial arts class my daughter loves it and it is very affordable. We as parents are so happy. Hopefully one day I will be in it with my daughter. I always wanted to try martial arts.
Your first taekwondo class at Master Khechen's Martial Arts Academy
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.
