From the reviews

My family currently attends Sagasu and everyone loves it. We attend the Jujutsu classes and our son is in the Little Dragons class for children learning the basics. In the Jujutsu class what we learn is very practical and can be used immediately to defend ones self.

★★★★★ — Wayne, Oct 2014

My son and daughter have been going here for a year now. It was the absolute best decision and best investment we have ever made. Their confidence has risen, they love the challenge and take pride in practicing their skills. They are setting goals and working towards one day being a black belt.

★★★★★ — Brianna, Sep 2023

We LOVE Sagasu! The people are friendly, helpful, and our kids have learned so much since starting their martial arts training there. Karen and Gabe treat everyone with the utmost respect and the children see it and learn it. They have such patience for the amount of kids they work with each day.

★★★★★ — Jessica, Dec 2021

New to taekwondo? Start at Sagasu Family Martial Arts

Sagasu Family 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 Sagasu Family 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.
