From the reviews
Fantastic School!!!! Master Vinny is extremely patient and knows how to communication in a way that children instantly respond to. I highly suggest Team Raposa Taekwondo school to any mother or father who wants to protect his or her child from the dangers of every day life.
Team Raposa..., offers a phenomenal program in martial arts (Taekwondo) as well as boxing and Kickboxing. One of the best programs I have seem so far that caters to kids and adults...; you should check it out if you are looking for a place to learn self-defense and get into shape...
Very friendly and experience instructors, highly recommended! Sir Vinicius is great with kids, his teaching style motivates the students to better themselves rather than fear making mistakes.
Top notch, no nonsense instructors. COVID safe! Masks are required while in the facility and gym surfaces are sanitized after every class.
New to taekwondo? Start at Team Raposa Taekwondo & Boxing / Black-K
Team Raposa Taekwondo & Boxing / Black-K 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 Team Raposa Taekwondo & Boxing / Black-K
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.
