From the reviews
The instructors at Dojang are exceptional, taking the time to ensure every student receives individual attention. Both instructors and assistants are incredibly patient and work wonderfully with all children, including those with special or additional needs. The adult classes are equally impressive.
Excellent place to take your kids to learn self defense and self confidence. Amazing group of instructors love watching my girls get the interactions with different people as they learn a skill!
My son is becoming more outgoing and loves his dojang team! So glad to have found a new family!!!
Our two daughters, 5 and 6, train at The Dojang, and the growth we’ve seen in them has been incredible. The discipline they’ve developed at such a young age has translated far beyond the mat. They listen better. They carry themselves with more confidence. They take correction without melting down.
New to taekwondo? Start at The Dojang Martial Arts & Fitness
The Dojang Martial Arts & Fitness 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 The Dojang Martial Arts & Fitness
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.
