From the reviews

Update: We have been together for five years, and during that time, a deep sense of trust has been built in entrusting our child’s journey here. To some, our Master may appear to be a strict teacher, but anyone who sees how our child has followed and respected him for these past five years will understand differently.

This is the best Taekwondo school. Master Kelly is a great coach. My daughter joined when she was 5 . She keeps learning. Master Kelly spends quality time with each student. They learn about sparring, different forms, principles of life. It will definitely help them to be a better and strong person.

Your first taekwondo class at Total Taekwondo

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.
