From the reviews
This is a fantastic studio run by a fantastic teacher. Master Eleni is as wonderful with the kids as she is with the adults. My daughter loves going to class and I was so inspired by her progress that I signed up for the adult class! Highly recommend on all fronts. We’ve found a community there.
Believe all the 5 star reviews. Master Eleni is a patient teacher. My squirmy, hyper 6 year old listens to her, though. She and the other instructors are incredibly patient even with a room full of squirmy, distractible six-year-olds. She teaches respect and discipline, and it’s excellent exercise for the kids.
My children have been going to Pulse for more than 5 years and they love it there!!! Master Eleni and Mister Alfred are amazing teachers, motivate the kids, give positive reinforcement and teach lessons in both taekwondo and life (e.g., respect).
my son has been with Master Eleni for 2 years but made a great progress and learned a lot not only in taekwondo. Great class, variety of exercises so you are never bored and lets not forget great classes headed by instructor Albert: teenagers appreciate his style while they learn important skills of self-defense!
New to taekwondo? Start at Pulse TaeKwondo Center
Pulse TaeKwondo Center 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 Pulse TaeKwondo Center
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.
