From the reviews
We love this Dojo!! It is the perfect balance of fun and discipline. All of the instructors truly care about their students and really individualize the class for every one. My son has a physcial disablity and this has given him so much confidence.
What a great place with a welcoming and super professional and fun vibe. My daughter was traveling to a tournament and we stopped in for a few practices to keep her training and in shape. Master Torres, his son and the other students were so welcoming and nice to us "out-of-towners".
Our 3 children are currently attending Taekwondo Wellness. Since they have started, they have been able to acquire a balanced Taekwondo curriculum. Not only are they learning physical skills, they are also learning social and emotional skills. We are incredibly grateful to Master Torres and his staff of coaches.
When my son starting going here he could barely sit still for two seconds. Since attending he is able to meditate for two minutes and has improved focus in school. I would recommend TKD Wellness to anyone who has a child with a lot of energy looking to improve their overall wellbeing.
New to taekwondo? Start at Taekwondo Wellness: Martial Arts & Fitness Classes For Kids, Teens & Adults
Taekwondo Wellness: Martial Arts & Fitness Classes For Kids, Teens & Adults comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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 Taekwondo Wellness: Martial Arts & Fitness Classes For Kids, Teens & Adults
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.
