From the reviews
Been trained & training in this Academy since 2017. The instructor dedicates time & effort to all students while patient at each students' learning pace and styles. Try for a trial training and experience yourselves the quality instruction for a win-win satisfaction for clients & instructor.
I am thrilled to share my experience at Natomas Family Taekwondo Academy over the past two and a half years. Joining this academy has been one of the best decisions of my life, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible journey I've had here.
We met Mr. Paul when he came to a school fair and my son has been hooked on taekwondo since. He loves his practices and is always excited to go. He got bullied quite a bit in school last year and he was very emotional about it. Now he doesn't let things get to him and has more confidence in himself.
I've been there for almost 3 years, and it just felt like home to me. Everyone there treats each other with respect and kindness.
New to taekwondo? Start at Natomas Academy - Family Taekwondo
Natomas Academy - Family Taekwondo 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 Natomas Academy - Family Taekwondo
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.
