From the reviews
My son has been attending SMA after school program and Summer camp for the past 4 years. I cannot begin to express how much this program has saved me!! As a single Mom finding an affordable and safe place to leave your child can be nerve racking!! However SMA has been in for us since my son has been in preschool!!
I came to Success Martial Arts from another martial arts school and I was quickly joined into the SMA family! Even when I was extremely discouraged to change martial arts schools, all the instructors were welcoming and encouraging me to get right back into training.
The team at Success Martial Arts have been an incredible resource for us. Our sons have been in the AM, PM and summer programs for 5 years. In that time, my sons have developed in great young men. They treat our boys like their own and the respect is mutual. My wife and I could not have imagined a better program.
My children have been attending classes at SMA for over a year now. We have seen tremendous growth especially with their confidence. The instructors are amazing, they are always very positive and super supportive. We have recommended this program to many friends and family members.
New to taekwondo? Start at Success Martial Arts
Success 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 Success 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.
