- Are free trial classes available in Maine?
- Many schools offer a free or discounted first class even when it isn't listed, so it's always worth asking. Check the school's site or call ahead.

- Do I need to be fit or flexible to start taekwondo?
- No. You can start with no fitness base and no experience — classes build your strength, flexibility, and coordination over time. You begin with the fundamentals — stances, blocks, kicks, and forms (poomsae) — at your own pace. Sparring (kyorugi) is introduced gradually with protective gear, and a good school never rushes beginners into it. Taekwondo is built on respect and discipline, so everyone trains at their own level.
