From the reviews
Bring my 6 years old son here for summer session and he love it here, the instructor seem to work really well with kids, I can also see drastic different in discipline in kids within a week or two. Not easy task for twenty to thirty 4 to 6 years old kids
The Best Class to learn Self Defense! The instructors are incredible! You learn so much in 1 class! I've been doing this for around 2 years and I haven't disliked any part of it!
It's a wonderful place for your children to learn self defense here. The owner and staffs are wonderful. They make it fun yet structured.
This is the best martial arts school in the area. The instructors care when teaching young kids and are all enthusiastic. It’s a very personal experience. We love it here.
New to taekwondo? Start at Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Baton Rouge
Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Baton Rouge 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 Baton Rouge
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.
