From the reviews
Our 8-year-old started studying with Scott in April. He loves it, going five days a week! In that short time, he has not only progressed in his Taekwondo skills, but he has also become a much more confident young man. This spills over into so much of his life!
My family has been active at VTA for 15 years 😀 Mr. Scott is a man of integrity and an awesome instructor/coach ! He is great with kids and adults alike. At VTA we are not only challenged physically but mentally as well with studies of martial arts history and anatomy worked into classes.
My boys started here 7 years ago. This school has taught them about discipline, integrity, and perseverance along with many other things. The school is like an extended family for athletes and their families.
This place is amazing! Our almost 6 year old son started attending 3 months ago. Scott is not only a very talented instructor, but he also has a special way of communicating with kids. He is enthusiastic and clever in keeping the kids attention.
Your first taekwondo class at Vancouver 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.
