From the reviews
Scholars Academy is a great place to take your kids too. As a someone who goes here daily, I’ve grew a lot of confidence as well as friends. It has a welcoming family atmosphere. Mr. Baker is an amazing instructor and pushes you to be your very best as well as making classes fun and exciting to go to.
Excellent service! The instructors are amazing. It is family owned and Is family oriented. They offer free classes/workout for parent and child every Tues and Thursday which is always fun. The place is clean, spacious, and well lit. There’s always other activities outside the class.
My daughter and several of her friends have been going to Scholars Academy for almost a year now, and they all love it.. They've gained a lot of strength, endurance, determination, and confidence. They are also learning respect and responsibility each class. It's a fun and energetic environment.
Scholars Academy is a great place to get kids out of the house and get involved in something other than a TV screen. The kids have tons of fun in class while also learning discipline. Everyone there are super nice and welcoming. It’s so much more than learning how to kick and punch.
New to taekwondo? Start at Scholars Academy
Scholars Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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 Scholars Academy
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.
