What students say
“It's a wonderful place with a loving and welcoming group of people.”
“Teaches self respect, respect for others, discipline, and so much more!”
From the reviews
A small-town gem hidden in rural Southern Indiana. A class steep in meaning, traditions, and relationships. This school is so much more than your avarage martial arts studio or club. (This coming from an artist of 20 years.
Excellent place to be. Family oriented. Teaches self respect, respect for others, discipline, and so much more!!
What a wonderful experience! We went and watched our son and grandson in their class. Highly enjoyable. Looking forward to going back.
Wonderful place, I'd give more than 5 stars if I could! Everyone is always welcome here. I always leave in a better mood!
New to taekwondo? Start at Traditional Ways Tae Kwon Do
Traditional Ways Tae Kwon Do comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Traditional Ways Tae Kwon Do
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.
