From the reviews
This school is far more than a place to learn a beautiful discipline, to us if FAMILY! A very inclusive school that not only the Instructors works well with special needs students also the rest of the community embraces each and everyone of them.
I can't say enough good things about Oriental Sport Center! We walked into a new establishment 6 years ago just to "check it out" and we never left! What started out as a 3 day trial turned into 6+ years of fun, friendship, and family.
I enrolled my 12 yr old grandson at the turn of the year and he is always excited to come to class. He is learning so fast and is eager to rise up in rank. Thank you Jose and all at OSC for all that your doing for him. 2 thumbs up 👍👍 to all the staff
Strike Force Tae-Kwon-Do is amazing! They are great with the kids, especially the little ones. I highly recommend this place! They teach the kids values and discipline.
New to taekwondo? Start at Strike Force TaeKwon Do
Strike Force TaeKwon Do 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 Strike Force TaeKwon 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.
