From the reviews

The instructors at this location are more than instructors they are like a family. They teach discipline and structure. They reward the students when they do good and discipline them when they are not doing well such as push ups or horse stance. It takes a village to raise children and they are big part of the village.

My son Layton has been attending Hapkido for a few weeks. He's been so excited to go weekly , that he's set timers around the entire house so he's on time. This is a way of good time management skills. The coaches there are free spirited and lively with the kids, making it fun and exciting to learn. Ms.

★★★★★ — Christal, Nov 2019

My son has been here for almost 2 years now. And seeing the love and dedication the instructors give I also decided to join the Hapkido family. Master Foor and Instructor Avila are absolutely amazing! They are so kind and understanding and motivate the students to be the best versions of themselves!

★★★★★ — Zaara, Aug 2020

Choe’s HapKiDo is a gem for the community. I found them by chance three years ago when my then special needs toddler was recommended a martial arts program by his therapist. They welcomed him so warmly in the Little Ninjas program.

Your first Karate class at Choe's HapKiDo Martial Arts, Karate, Kickboxing Duluth GA

Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects 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, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, 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.
