Got questions? We have answers.
Do I have to be in shape to start?
Absolutely not! Our classes are designed for all fitness levels. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced athlete, our instructors will meet you where you are and help you progress at your own pace. Many of our students started with no prior martial arts or fitness experience.
Can I come watch a class before joining?
Of course! We encourage prospective students and parents to visit our dojo and observe a class before signing up. This gives you a chance to see our teaching style, meet our instructors, and ask any questions you may have. Better yet, sign up for a complimentary lesson and experience it firsthand!
Am I too old to start martial arts?
Age is just a number! We welcome students from ages 4 to 94. Tang Soo Do is a martial art that can be adapted to any age and fitness level. Many of our adult students began training later in life and have found incredible benefits in fitness, stress relief, and self-confidence.
