From the reviews
I was raised on TaeKwonDo and Pka.Kickboxing I moved tk vegas and all I could find is mma or kids playing around TaeKwonDo getting belts every 2 months makes me think come on parents fo you really think you can get Black Belt in 3 or 4 years but I will not say anything but after going to every dojo disappointed I was…
I have been to many dojos trying to find best instruction for my kids i have found many that just play like ninjas and play swords seems silly because where is the discipline and self defense but after meeting and watching master thompson I know finally I have found a real dojo and the school I very big with much room…
What sets Thompson’s Taekwondo apart is that it’s about much more than kicks, punches, and earning belts. Master Thompson genuinely cares about each student and works hard to build confidence, discipline, respect, perseverance, and character.
Master Thompson has many years of experience teaching all ages and experience levels. I've been with him for over 3 years now and can attest that he takes great care to instruct both at a class and individual level. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn martial arts.
New to taekwondo? Start at Thompson's Taekwondo/ Women's Fitness Kickboxing
Thompson's Taekwondo/ 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/ 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.
