My daughter has been doing this for a good amount of time now, and is always challenged and encouraged. The instructors all give so many wonderful life lessons and instill wonderful values and morals in the students.

★★★★★ — Bernadette, Jun 2023

We love ❤️ our experiences at PMA. Our 8 soon to be 9 year old really enjoys her classes, her instructors and what she is learning. We love that she is learning great skills with her body and important lessons about herself both mentally and physically.

★★★★★ — Gretchen, Jul 2023

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding dojo that goes far beyond teaching martial arts techniques! My son has been training here for a month and the transformation has been incredible. The instructors don’t just focus on kicks, punches, and forms - they emphasize the core values that make martial arts truly meaningful.

★★★★★ — Chloe, Sep 2025

Mr. Parker is great a martial art instructor. My son has been going here for almost a year. Mr. Parker has great knowledge of martial art skills and interacts with his students very well. Also, Master Talon is great. He is always helpful and looking after his students.

New to taekwondo? Start at Premier Martial Arts Wash Park

Premier Martial Arts Wash Park 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 Premier Martial Arts Wash Park

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.
