From the reviews

I remember coming here as a little kid, Mr.Mcqueen (the owner) has always made his students feel confident and respected. He has amazing manners and is overall an amazing teacher, I'd recommended his school to anyone looking for a place to learn martial arts, manners, self respect, or just looking for fun.

I've had a great experience with this school. The instructors are patient and willing to explain when you have trouble with a new concept. You don't have to already be an athlete to start learning either. They will meet you where you are and help you improve and meet your goals.

★★★★★ — Laura, May 2022

This is the best martial arts school! The discipline is great, the instructors are amazing, and it is such a great place to make friends. My son has learned so much here! I would definitely recommend this school to learn martial arts and succeed at it!

★★★★★ — Shawna, Oct 2022

My child has been taking jiu jitsu classes with MPMA for the last couple months and has loved the experience. The instructors do a great job of demonstrating the skills they are teaching and directing the students in learning.

Your first taekwondo class at Mt. Pleasant 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.
