From the reviews

We have had the best experience for the past two years with our son at Quest. The highly trained and professional instructors have helped our son gain confidence and focus. He is always excited to go to class. His peer group at Quest is also exceptional with kids that demonstrate respect and kindness towards others.

★★★★★ — Simone, Aug 2018

My son has been taking karate at Quest since he was 3 years old. He is now almost 17 and this was the best thing we have ever done. Quest has taught him not only karate but an incredible amount of leadership qualities. This is a great program with excellent instructors. I highly encourage doing an introductory class.

★★★★★ — James, Dec 2018

I cannot say enough good things about Quest Martial Arts in Barrington, New Hampshire! Isaac is eight (soon to be nine), and in just under six months, he has grown so much—both physically and emotionally. The inclusive and supportive environment has done wonders for his self-esteem, discipline, and focus.

New to taekwondo? Start at Quest Martial Arts Academy

Quest Martial Arts 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 Quest Martial Arts 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.

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.
