From the reviews

We love Next Level!! My son has been taking classes for over six months now and he’s been learning and progressing with his martial arts so well. The instructors are super patient but still firm with the kids in order to instill discipline, respect, patience and confidence all while learning self defense techniques…

★★★★★ — Mo, Apr 2025

Best decision we made for our child! The instructors are not only skilled but also great role models. Our child has gained so much confidence and respect through their training.

★★★★★ — Leah, Apr 2025

Next Level Martial Arts is great place for your children or grandchildren to learn about being a better person, better sibling and a better student. Under the teachings of Master T, Mr. Morales and Mr. Bush they learn focus, build confidence and learn about respect for others.

★★★★★ — John, Apr 2025

I cannot express the level of gratitude for Next Level martial arts instructors and their program! I have my 8 year old granddaughter enrolled. Every week I see her confidence grow not only in her martial arts skills but also in her life skills.

New to taekwondo? Start at Next Level Martial Arts

Next Level 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 Next Level 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.
