From the reviews
We have been attending Steven’s Family Taekwondo for over 5 years. They are amazing with the children. They teach much more than Taekwondo, and are also like part of our family. They have many different activities for the whole family to participate in. We are grateful for all they do, and we wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Krav Maga program offers a fantastic workout along with real world self defense training. Great family friendly environment and something to challenge everyone. Highly recommended!
One of the most professional environments I could imagine for learning martial arts and self defense. Master Stevens and his various instructors are all highly competent and excel in training their students.
Highly recommend Stevens Family TKD! The Master, instructors and staff always make you feel welcome. They take the time needed to communicate with the student/parents as each student is working toward the next rank. My family has been attending SFTKD for the last 6 years.
New to taekwondo? Start at Stevens Family TaeKwonDo
Stevens Family TaeKwonDo 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 Stevens Family TaeKwonDo
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.
