From the reviews
I absolutely love SCMA. I began sending my child here in 2021 when my other summer camp arrangements were abruptly canceled. I was in a panic as I quickly needed to find other arrangements.
This is the best place for Kids and Family. Stuff is like a family to everyone, my kids are in love with Instructor Oliver, Instructor Spence, Master Cain and Instructor Erica! I am so lucky that I found this place at the first place.
My kids love Steele Creek Martial Arts and have been coming for 7 years! It teaches discipline, self-defense and physical fitness. It is also family activities, adult classes and a wonderful summer camp program! I highly recommend it!
This place is Awesome for teaching children self discipline and responsibility and self defense.
New to taekwondo? Start at Steele Creek Martial Arts
Steele Creek 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 Steele Creek 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.
