From the reviews
We’ve been a part of ATA for five years. We’ve had three boys start in the Tiger program (perfect for the younger kids) and the oldest just earned his Black Belt. The staff is excellent.
Sylas has achieved so much self confidence and determination with the encouragement of each staff member but especially Mr Jones. Thank you have a blessed Merry Christmas and please take care. The Stellfox Family Sylas your great grandmother is so proud of you. All your hard work and weekly effort truly shows.
ATA is part of our life especially for Jayden! It helps in his discipline and focus and he really has an emotional connection to succeed in front of his teachers!
I’ll never forget the day my son came home from preschool saying he wanted to be a black belt leader at ATA. He was ready to step on the mat and train to one day meet that goal!
New to taekwondo? Start at Momentum Martial Arts
Momentum 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 Momentum 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.
