From the reviews

I love Martal arts especially TaeKwondo! I have been going to Motivate Martial Arts for two and a half years now and I love it! I have made so many new friends, and I really like the instructors! They will help you with anything you need help with!

★★★★★ — Michael, Mar 2025

We were referred to this studio by a friend. And since my so. Started he has absolutely loved it and enjoys his classes. The instructors are really good about making sure that all students understand the techniques and how to properly execute them. Everyone is so friendly and easy to communicate with.

★★★★★ — Casie, Oct 2021

This place is certainly amazing. I go as Aiden G., but usually I'm called Azure. This place certainly brings out the best in me, even if it takes me a moment. I often go to have fun—I have no true interest in severe fitness or getting extremely strong.

★★★★★ — Shauna, Dec 2025

Our family loves this place! I first attended Motivate when my husband signed me up for their free women's self-defense event, which was very informative. Then, we tried out their summer weekday program for our 6 year old son, which was reasonably priced (and we compared several options) and it was a great success, so…

New to taekwondo? Start at Motivate Martial Arts

Motivate 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 Motivate 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.

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.
