“My son has been studying Tae Kwon Do since he was 6.”
What students say
“Master boles is top tier- not only when it comes to mastery in Taekwondo and instructing, but also as a person.”
From the reviews
My son has been studying Tae Kwon Do since he was 6. He is currently 12 and working toward his black belt. Due to job relocation we have moved around a bit, so he has studied at 4 schools during his training. His 3 years at Powell are still his favorite.
My grandsons have attended for 7 years. I have observed Master Tony Boles teach children-adults. His personal achievments in taekwondo and his firm yet encouraging teaching style set the standard for all others. I highly recommend this program, both for physical and character development in students of all ages.
Master boles is top tier- not only when it comes to mastery in Taekwondo and instructing, but also as a person. I’ve been here 10+ years for a reason!
It is an excellent Taekwondo school, ran by excellent and very qualified teachers. Highly recommended for kids, and even for adults.
New to taekwondo? Start at Powell Taekwondo Academy
Powell Taekwondo Academy 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 Powell 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.
