★★★★★ — Roban, Sep 2016

Our son is here at 6 years old and Ron and his team have been fantastic with him. They are very patient and wonderful teachers. Our son is learning so much so quickly. We are very happy. It's especially impressive how many instructors Ron has available to assist him each week with the students.

★★★★★ — Steven, Sep 2023

So we tried another martial arts place before and I didn’t care for the “participation belt promotion” or the calendar that tells you the advance belt days (which literally everyone gets next belt advance) I didn’t agree with that or that my son thought he could look at a schedule and know when he would get next color…

Your first taekwondo class at Ron Little Martial Arts

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.
