From the reviews
I have been taking TaeKwonDo for a couple of months now. If I was ever asked about any regrets in my lifetime, taking this joyous and amazing journey certainly isn’t one. I can honestly say I’ve found a peers and practice for myself where I truly feel at home, and I believe I’m making good friends along the way, too.
My Daughter and i both take classes and it is great. Great for kids and adults. I recommend you at least try it, first class is free.
My 9 year old absolutely loves taking Taekwondo! Trent is a great instructor. He is very good with the kids!
Excellent program that both my kids attended for years. I can’t say enough good things about Trent and his studio!
New to taekwondo? Start at Trent Graham's Taekwondo Academy
Trent Graham's Taekwondo Academy 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 Trent Graham's 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.
