The classes they run

From the reviews
I've been training here for about a year and a half so I will leave my most honest opinion about this school. When I first started it was a struggle. I couldn't kick high. I kept falling. I had no aim nor balance. I hadn't done any martial art, or sport for about 6 years.
Enrolling our boys was the best decision ever! We love the masters. We have been attending a little over two years. Exercise, discipline, confidence and Master Eum makes it fun.
Very friendly environment. Kids are praised and motivated. Great for the whole family. My son looks forward to going to Tae Kwon Do. It has helped him build his confidence.
This school is wonderful! Master Lee is a stellar teacher - he's patient and kind and shows the students tons of positive reinforcement. My daughter, Abby, loves her taekwondo class days and practices what she's learned at home.
New to taekwondo? Start at S Martial Arts
S Martial Arts 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 S 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.
