From the reviews
I was in search of a school that my son could train at that reminded me of my school when I was younger. I wanted traditional Taekwondo and a school that didn’t make me feel like my wallet should be taken advantage of. I met Master Thompson with my son and immediately felt at home!
My daughter Kristin has been with Master Thompson for a very long time. My daughter suffers a lot with endometriosis, and has had a numerous amount of major surgeries. When she first met Master Thompson, she wasn't in the best of health.
Excellent old school Dojang. Master Thompson truly cares about his students and teaches with an individual approach ensuring proper growth and development. It’s so rare to find a Sensei that is as dedicated to teaching. We started at Victory where my son learned absolutely nothing and didn’t love attending.
My kids join Master Thompson’s teaching over 20 years ago. Tae Kwon Do have been a great discipline and great guidance thru the years, physically, and mentally keep them center. Master Thompson has always been a great example of perseverance, hard work, and. Always ready to help when needed.
New to taekwondo? Start at Thompson’s Taekwondo Academy of Martial Arts / Women's Fitness Kickboxing
Thompson’s Taekwondo Academy of Martial Arts / Women's Fitness Kickboxing 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 Thompson’s Taekwondo Academy of Martial Arts / Women's Fitness Kickboxing
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.
