From the reviews
The best DoJo in the area. My daughter just achieved her yellow belt. Unlike other martial arts classes in the area, I feel that she has actually mastered skills to deserve this honor.
Scott is a phenomenal owner who is very kid oriented. He always makes sure everyone is included and accounted for! The instructors are also wonderful at balancing fun and teaching responsibility/respect. 10/10 would recommend for all levels and ages.
My son was initially struggling but now martial arts has become one of his daily activity and he loves it because all the Sensei in Bayakko have been dedicated to teach martial arts and discipline. They teach according to the age of student with more patience.
The instructors here provide a very positive growth environment for children as well as adults in their classes. Scott and Heather are very considerate and accommodating as the heads of this dojo. It is a pleasure to run classes out of this location and it provides everything needed for a variety of disciplines.
New to taekwondo? Start at THE BMA DOJO
THE BMA DOJO 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 THE BMA DOJO
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.
