Reviews
My daughter does it and I honestly think it’s amazing and my daughter loves it and I think if you or your kids wanna do taekwondo they should start here.
This place is the best! The instructor is hands down the best! I wouldn't want my kids to learn from anyone else.
In high school and college I was in great shape. As an adult it is much more difficult. For adults oh, this is the most incredible workout you can get. The place is well run and inspires you to push yourself far beyond what you can do on your own.
Love love love. The instructors are amazing and wonderful with the kids. Best place to go with little one for taekwondo.
Awesome place instructors are awesome with the kids highly recommend
Frequently Asked Questions
IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?
Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at North Branch Martial Arts & Fitness. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.
DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?
No experience necessary! North Branch Martial Arts & Fitness welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?
For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?
Most students at North Branch Martial Arts & Fitness train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.
DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?
We primarily serve adult students. Please contact us directly to ask about availability for younger students — we're happy to point you in the right direction.
