From the reviews
I really love masters of Olympic Taekwondo Academy in Glastonbury. They changed my children. They began to have self-confidence and self-esteem. Also, their social relationship has been getting better. Above all, they learned respect for us who are their parent through OTA in Glastonbury. I strongly recommend it.
Best martial arts studio in Glastonbury. Olympic taekwondo Academy is staffed by world champions and Korea national team members.

My son has been coming to Olympic Tai Kwon Do in south Glastonbury for almost a year. He loves the instructors. Both Master Soon and Master Banny are excellent. They know all the children's names and my son really enjoys the experience . There is a lot of individual attention paid to each student.
Your first taekwondo class at Olympic Taekwondo Academy of 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.
