From the reviews
Mrs Kristin does a wonderful job teaching the kids taekwondo and is patient, helpful and kind! She teaches them christian traits as well as taekwondo forms. We are thankful for that! She has done a great job with our son! Also the staff there are nice and helpful!
Absolutely love this place, I'm still very new to the sport but instructors and classmates are all super kind and accommodating to the level I'm at. Come join me in the adult class on Tuesday and Thursdays!
My son has been training with Mrs. Kristen and for over 5 years. Signing him up for Tae Kwon Do has been the best decision we ever made for discipline , self defense, physical fitness, and so much more!!!
My son started last year as a way to keep his body moving and help control his impulsiveness. In the short time he has been attending, his focus at home and school have improved and even his listening skills have improved! He is also happier and more confident than he has ever been!

New to taekwondo? Start at Trailblazers Taekwondo Academy
Trailblazers Taekwondo Academy 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 Trailblazers Taekwondo Academy
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.
