From the reviews
This class is absolutely amazing! My son was so apprehensive about taking a martial arts class but master Michelle does a fantastic job with taking time with her kids and making sure the adjust and understands but still holds them accountable.
Out of all the greatness involved in Tucker’s Tae Kwon Do, the one thing I recommend is Master Michelle White herself. Her dedication, passion, and commitment to each and every student is non-describable.
An AMAZING school to learn traditional Tae Kwon Do. Classes for all belts and ages offered. If you are looking for a family friendly yet well discipline school this is a wonderful balance of the two!!!
Wow - this studio provides a high energy workout that will make you strong, skillled and confident! My son is a black belt who has studied under Master Michelle at Tucker's Tae Kwon Do for several years. He loves training under Master Michelle's guidance and has developed so much more with her.
New to taekwondo? Start at Tucker's Tae Kwon Do
Tucker's Tae Kwon Do 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 Tucker's 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.
