From the reviews
Myself as well as my three boys have all studied under Mr. Himebaugh. Two of my boys became black belts, one is a second degree black belt. This school is not a place that you will buy your rank. You will learn, grow, and excel based on your time, effort, and input. What you learn here will stick with you a lifetime.
My son was was so nervous about joining Taekwondo and not only that but he was so nervous about testing... After his first testing he walked out he told me that he could cry he was so happy and proud of himself. Thank You Mr. Himebaugh for having patience with him. We truly appreciate you!
Mr. Himebaugh at Northwest Taekwondo Academy has the students' best interests at heart. Not only is the instruction top-notch, but the level of professionalism and individual attention given is the best you will find.
My son wanted to join TKD. I was able to find the class information and pricing easily from the Hub. In addition after contacting Mr. Himebaugh he was very communicative and answered all of our questions. Once my son tried the class he really liked it. My daughter has joined now as well and is enjoying it.
New to taekwondo? Start at Northwest Taekwondo Academy
Northwest Taekwondo Academy 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 Northwest Taekwondo Academy
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.
