From the reviews
I have a son in the Jr classes. He has gained so much self disciple and respect not just for himself but for others. He looks forward to every class. Seeing what positive changes have come from my sons self esteem, confidence and want to do right I enrolled my 3yr old son in the little tigers class. He has so much fun!
I have studied martial arts on and off since I was a teenager (collectively for almost 15 years) and have studied at a number of schools. UKMA is one of the best that I have seen. The knowledge, skill, patience and commitment from the staff is top-notch.
Your first taekwondo class at United Korean 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.
