From the reviews
I wish I could give Na Martial Arts more than 5 stars! As an active 30 year old female I was looking for an activity that would challenge me physically and mentally, as well as build flexibility, core strength and stamina. This place is the perfect fit! Master Na is an incredible teacher and martial artist.
My two boys started in June and I have witnessed improvement in their self-esteem, motivation, respect for others and they’re more focused. Their instructors provide clear instructions while incorporating fun activities during every lesson.
My son has been learning martial arts at Na after coming from another school and it has been such an amazing experience for him. He is very enthusiastic about going to classes and has really picked up the concepts.
We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Na Martial. ! My daughter has been training here for about a year and a half, and the growth we’ve seen in her has been incredible. She has developed not only strong physical skills, but more importantly life skills—respect, confidence, self-discipline, and especially focus.
New to taekwondo? Start at Na Martial Arts
Na Martial Arts 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 Na 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.
