From the reviews
My son has been here for 6 years now and his next belt will be his black belt. Master Marlow has to be one of the best instructors I’ve ever seen. He is tough but kind on the kids. My son is turning 15 and it has been the best thing for his self esteem and confidence.
Our son has been attending the Richland studio probably for 3-4 years now. The instruction given by Master Roach and his band of instructors has been some of the best we’ve seen in the Tri cities. Thank you for giving the attention and dedication to not only our son but for every student that attends your classes.
My girls love the classes and I love the fact they are learning self defense. Master Marlow is really skilled and he is great at relating to the students of all ages. We checked out several schools before joining and we are really happy with our choice.
Fun place to train. Taught by a highly experienced Master with lots of patience to teach young kids and new adults at the same time. Totally recommend.
New to taekwondo? Start at Tri-Cities Taekwondo
Tri-Cities Taekwondo 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 Tri-Cities 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.
