From the reviews
Signed our 4 year old up for a free try class today. Both my husband and my self were very impressed by how clean and organized Martial Arts place was. Both owners were absolutely professional and friendly. Watching our son for the first time try something he has never done, was amazing! 😍 Signed him right up!
The head instructor is a high ranking black belt who has been doing Taekwondo for many, many years. Very professional. Overall great experience.
I took about 10 months of classes here back in 2015/2016. While it could be frustrating and tiresome at times, I appreciate Mr. Davis and the place he has worked hard to create. I was taught respect, empathy, discipline, and structure, and learned things that have stuck with me even now. Mr. and Mrs.
Can't say enough good things about this martial arts academy! My son wanted to learn TaeKwonDo for the conditioning, focus and discipline it produces. Mr Davis and everyone involved are friendly, experienced and very professional.
New to taekwondo? Start at Ray Davis TaeKwonDo
Ray Davis TaeKwonDo 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 Ray Davis TaeKwonDo
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.
