Fantastic family friendly atmosphere. Everyone is welcoming and loves Master Lewis and all the instructors. My child loves it and has learned and grown so much.
Master Corey Lewis and his staff are like a family. They listen to the students and their families. Always a positive atmosphere. Encouraging you every step of the way. I highly recommend Sun Yi's Academy of Tae Kwon Do to everyone in our community. Everyone is welcome there.
Self defense class was free, empowering, surprisingly easy (there are stairs to get up to the studio so you know), and I highly recommend it. Extremely friendly and relatable staff. Body positive. Excellent organization.
An amazing community with great instructors. If you seek learning martial arts and learning to improve yourself on and off the mat, you won't find a better place.
Your first taekwondo class at Sun Yi's Academy Of Tae Kwon 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.
