From the reviews

Awesome Dojo with amazing instructors. Great classes for kids and adults. There are parents taking classes with their kids, sharing the experience. The Black Belts students are very talented. The Master instructor has been in TKD since he was a little child.

Couldn't have asked for better instructors for my son. They truly care about the kids and make extra effort to help develop confidence in them. Master Lee is a great mentor and has created an amazing culture at Scholar Athlete Black Belt Club.

Your first taekwondo class at Scholar Athlete Tae Kwon DO

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.
