Affiliated school — reviews and the school's own info point to a recognized taekwondo organization or franchise (think ATA Martial Arts, Kukkiwon certification, World Taekwondo, or ITF). If credentials matter to you, ask which association the school belongs to and where the head instructor earned their black-belt (dan) rank and certification.

What students say
“Our child has grown so much in their self-confidence since attending, and we believe that our child owes a good amount of that growth to what they have learned with STA.”

From the reviews
Super fun. My kids love going and it's good for them. My boy is going for his black belt soon.
Our child has been enrolled with Seattle Taekwondo Academy for a little under a year now. We can confidently say that the changes in their attitude, self-confidence, and physical/mental strength and well-being are strongly attributed to what STA have taught our child. STA isn't just about Taekwondo.
Your first taekwondo class at Seattle Taekwondo 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.
