From the reviews
I love Master Sanchez and his wife Venus! They make you feel like family as soon as you step into their gym. I take my 6yr son here and Master Sanchez is great with him. Not only is this great for kids but for adults too. I trained with Master Sanchez for over 20 years.
Highly recommend! My son (6years old) is a very active athlete and we are thankful to Master Sanchez and team for all the great bonuses learned/gained during Taekwondo training. He works hard toward earning each belt, and thoroughly enjoys learning.
Amazing School! The instructor and his wife are such caring loving people, they treat everyone like family.. the whole place is a family oriented place such welcoming and amazing people to be around with. They care for their students and always go above and beyond
The instructors and staff are amazing! So knowledgeable and kind. They make everyone feel welcome. My family loves doing taekwondo together at this school. Highly recommend this place, especially because they are so student focused and community oriented.
New to taekwondo? Start at Sanchez Taekwondo Institute
Sanchez Taekwondo Institute 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 Sanchez Taekwondo Institute
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.
