From the reviews
👍We chose Taecole Take Kwon Do and are glad we did. Our son enjoys coming and is getting better and more focused. I recommend Taecole and appreciate all the instructors. They are strong minded professionals and good with the children. Thank you Master Messina, Chris, Kelly, Parth and all the instructors.
We've known Master Messina from early on in her martial arts career- Her lifetime of dedication to TaeKwonDo and passion for youth instruction makes TaeCole the ideal place to send our kids. Looking forward to watching them grow here. This thing only goes up to 5 stars? It should go higher.
Absolutely love Taecole, my little has been here since she was three and it has really helped her grow in character and confidence. Summer camp was also very good and she's been asking to do it again next summer! Thank you to the entire crew for being a blessing to my daughter <3
Taecole Tae Kwon Do school is amazing!!! Master Messina and Miss Mimi have such a passion and love for Tae Kwon Do and they make it so much fun for the kids. They do so much more than just teach martial arts, they take care of the mind, body and spirit!
New to taekwondo? Start at Taecole Tae Kwon Do & Fitness - Karate & Martial Arts Classes
Taecole Tae Kwon Do & Fitness - Karate & Martial Arts Classes 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 Taecole Tae Kwon Do & Fitness - Karate & Martial Arts Classes
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. 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.
