From the reviews
We are new to the area and was looking to get my son (4yrs) into martial arts. My son is extremely shy around people he is unfamiliar with and takes some time to break the ice with other kids. Master Urrutias was just excellent in getting my son comfortable with himself and comfortable with learning during class times.
I have two kids that attend Urrutias TKD academy. I really appreciate how Master Carlos Urrutias has become a great role model to my kids. Master Urrutias does a great job teaching not just my kids but all the students how to be responsible, not just in the academy but at school and at home.
I have two kids attending Urrutia's Taekwondo. We originally had planned to come for a month but my kids have now been attending this academy for three years, going on four. Both of my kids really love this place. Master Urrutia has helped them reach their black belt goal and has helped them developed many skills.
As a parent of a Urrutias Taekwondo student I would love to share my expierience. I started bringing my daughter since she was 3 and 1/2 years old. She is now 7 and 1st Dan Black Belt. Our journey has not only been fun, but educational. Martial arts it's not only a sport, it's more! Master Carlos Urrutias is the best!
New to taekwondo? Start at Urrutia’s Taekwondo Academy
Urrutia’s Taekwondo Academy 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 Urrutia’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.
