The classes they run
“My children, one boy age 9, one girl age 11, were hesitant to try this, but were looking for a place to encourage physical activity, self-confidence, and focus.”
“We have one in the Little Dragons, and two in the Leadership group (both of which were previously in the Little Dragons), and all three absolutely love it.”
“They also incorporate staff and stick work, along with occasional forms training, which adds some variety to the curriculum.”
“Master Dragon took him aside and worked with him briefly one on one and when he came back to the group he was calm and ready to participate.”
“They spend a lot of time teaching self defense to prepare students to react quickly if they were ever in a situation where it was needed.”
Other martial arts here
“We have had our daughter in karate for almost 2 years now.”
“There is very little ground grappling, so if Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or grappling-based training is your priority, this probably isn’t the right fit.”
“They spend a lot of time teaching self defense to prepare students to react quickly if they were ever in a situation where it was needed.”
What students say
“My son takes private lessons with Master Dragon. He’s been absolutely amazing with teaching my son skills he can use in martial arts, but also in life.”
“When a problem arises, they always think it through and find an answer that works for both them and the family.”
“They also incorporate staff and stick work, along with occasional forms training, which adds some variety to the curriculum.”
“In just two and a half months, I’ve seen incredible growth in my daughter. She has become more determined, focused, and disciplined.”
“Dragon and Master Hawk will definitely make you feel like family.”
“My children, one boy age 9, one girl age 11, were hesitant to try this, but were looking for a place to encourage physical activity, self-confidence, and focus.”
From the reviews
Master Hawk and Master Dragon are amazing instructors. Our son was kind of shy and reserved before beginning the little dragons class. When he first started classes he would sometimes throw tantrums and acted as though he didn't want to come.
My son absolutely loves it here. The father/son instructors are no nonsense but nurturing. They focus on the kids being self-sufficient and confident.
My children, one boy age 9, one girl age 11, were hesitant to try this, but were looking for a place to encourage physical activity, self-confidence, and focus. We have now been enrolled for a year and do not plan on stopping. My kids are showing more self-confidence, plus their strength and coordination has increased.
We have had our daughter in karate for almost 2 years now. The first year or so we were at a different school and while it was good it doesn't match the energy and dedication that sun Martial arts has brought to the lessons. Every lesson is very fast paced, focused and with little down time.
Your first taekwondo class at Sun 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.
