From the reviews

I work with children for a living and I can tell you that the patience and care you get from the instructors is unmatched. My child was very nervous and cried the first couple classes. Ms. Sarah went out of her way to make sure that he felt comfortable and was enjoying the class.

★★★★★ — Tyra, Jan 2026

Has been about 7 months since my last review, daughter has been going for about 10 months now. Still feel this is a solid program with lots of learning and training options/opportunities.

★★★★★ — Schawn, Aug 2018

My boys ages 5 and 8 are enjoying attending classes at Troy Martial Arts. They are getting great exercise, social interaction and structure, as well as learning to defend themselves. We notice them gaining confidence also.

★★★★★ — Scott, Sep 2020

I was very lucky when I stumbled upon Troy Martial Arts. I came from another Tae Kwon Do martial arts school out of state. I spent quite some time looking for a great family-oriented school in this area. Troy Martial Arts has exceeded my expectation of a great school!

New to taekwondo? Start at Troy Martial Arts

Troy Martial Arts 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 Troy Martial Arts

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.
