From the reviews
Character. Loyalty. Family. These words are often tossed about in today’s society without consequence, but if they were internalized by our citizens, we’d have a better world.
As a father who's head over 20 years’ experience in martial arts, it is very difficult to impress me, my standards are extremely high. I cannot express this enough, our community, our country, and our world would be in a much better place if the values of what Mr. Kim and Ms. Jamie instill on their students.
Great place! Mr. Kim & Ms. Jamie are great with kids. All the instructors are well trained. My daughter loves it 🫶🏻
This is the best martial arts studio and school in Tucson. After 17 years as a student, I’ve seen several children, adults, and families take classes, grow in strength of mind, body, and self, and greatly improve as not just martial artists, but as humans. Chief Instructor Mr. Kim and Head Instructor Ms.
New to taekwondo? Start at Oro Valley Martial Arts
Oro Valley 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 Oro Valley 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.
