From the reviews
I am a Grandmother of a 9 year old who attends classes there. I am impressed with the consistency of the classes. I love the fact that school and home life are included in the decision to reward stripes on their belt! Very well run program!! Teaches many attributes so lost in society today.
Simply the best family-friendly and professional martial arts studio in Alamogordo. We have been attending for over 2 years and love everything about Overstreet. The owner passionately cares for his students, and his instructors are very friendly and personable.
I'm 53 years old, and take classes with my grandkids. We all love it, it teaches respect for others, responsibility, setting goals, and keeping them. It also teaches you how to treat people around you. Great taekwondo instructors, great atmosphere, all around great experience.
Great academy, especially for juniors and youth but also serious taekwondo for adults under the Tiger Rock brand. Friendly atmosphere.
New to taekwondo? Start at Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Alamogordo
Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Alamogordo 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 Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Alamogordo
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.
