From the reviews
Can’t recommend this taekwondo school enough! The instructors are patient, easily able to work with all types of learners, and always eager to make sure everyone is doing their best! I’ve been taking classes for about a year and a half but will continue to take classes here until they kick me out :)
The best and funest place for Taekwondo. You can't find better instructors. Mr McCoy is amazing with my son. The instructors are understanding, and so much more. We like the values, culture and other things my son is learning through them!
Over the last year, I have seen our twins gain self-confidence, become more respectful, have increased focus, and many other positive attributes. These attributes are a direct result of taking Taekwondo at McCoy's Taekwondo America. Our twins are 8 and absolutely LOVE Taekwondo. Mr. and Mrs.

New to taekwondo? Start at McCoy's Taekwondo America
McCoy's Taekwondo America 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 McCoy's Taekwondo America
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.
