From the reviews
We have been so pleased with our experience at USK. From the moment we walked in, Master Amy & Mister Howie both showed kindness, and thoughtfulness towards my daughter. They encourage her and help her to work towards her goals of getting her next belt!
I don’t know why Google took my review down I did several years ago but I’ll try again. My son attended US-K for over 7 years. He participated in their after school program, Summer camp and other programs they offered.
USK Martial Arts is a wonderful school. USK is not only a martial art school, but teaches a way of life that builds respect, confidence and discipline. My daughter has been going here for the past 1 year and she simply loves this school. The instructors are great and friendly.
My girls and I began taking classes at USK Fort Mill in January. They came highly recommended and they have not dissapointed. Master Amy and Mister Howie are top notch instructors and more importantly, top notch people. Both of our girls have shown tremendous improvement in their behavior both at home and at school.
New to taekwondo? Start at USK Martial Arts Fort Mill
USK Martial Arts Fort Mill 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 USK Martial Arts Fort Mill
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.
