★★★★★ — Malcolm, Dec 2018

This place has been so welcoming and positive from the day we walked in! Every staff member my family has dealt with has been warm, knowledgable, and friendly. I am SO glad we took a chance and enrolled our daughter because her confidence has increased tremendously, her strength and stamina is through the roof, and…

I have been training here for half a year and have had only amazing experiences. Within the time I have been training here I have noticed that it is always clean and I have never heard any foul language from my instructors.

I’m 35 and both me and my 6 year old son take lessons at Zachary Martial Arts. This place has a wonderful atmosphere. Mr. Cloonan is a great instructor and he is excellent with the kids. They offer multiple class times throughout the week and are continuing to offer more class times for those with busy schedules.

Your first taekwondo class at Zachary 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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
