Amazing Master Schmidt! He is a shining example of a great teacher and role model for kids. Their program really cares about skill building, safety and life lessons. I strongly recommend TMAC!

★★★★★ — Eric, Sep 2017

This is a great place where kids not only learn just karate but they are also taught to properly use self defense and that is important for everyone to know. These Instructors have helped us out tremendously by surrounding our daughter with structure and discipline.

★★★★★ — Danielle, Aug 2015

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I read many reviews, and most people say this place is great for kids — which is absolutely true. But I also want to say this is an amazing place for adults and older people as well. Training here is not just about self-defense.

★★★★★ — Sijo, May 2026

TMAC is a professional, caring and fun place to have my son learn Tang Soo Do. In the last year that my son has been here, I haven't seen the same class twice! They really do work hard at keeping the kids class new and exciting, all while teaching them respect and patience.

Your first taekwondo class at TMAC Martial Arts & Ninja-Kid Warrior

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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
