Martial Arts Schools in Ridgeland

“Friends referred me to Black Sails and I’m so happy they did. The owner and instructors are awesome. They get to know each student’s skill level so they can teach at the right level for everyone and so when it’s time for drilling or sparring they can pair people up who will challenge each other safely. They are skilled teachers, and always put safety first. I’ve trained at many other gyms over the years where I’ve gotten injuries so I appreciate having really good training here without feeling like I’m going to get mangled lol
In addition the gym is a great space and it’s CLEAN. Love it!“

“I trained there for 16 years. Great school with excellent instructors. They should be, I was one of their instructors. ?“

“While looking for a way to improve my son's focus, gross motor skills, and all around athleticism, we tried talking with several instructors in martial arts classes. None were as open, receptive, and ready to give honest feedback as Mr. Chris Shoemaker, the current owner of Ridgeland Taekwondo.

Now we've been in classes for almost 6 months and there are no regrets in the decision to put the journey in his hands. There is a tangible care given to each student in their progress by Mr. Shoemaker and his black belt instructors.

If you're looking for a baby-sitting belt factory handing out participation trophies, you're going to become disenamoured by the process of hard work (but with plenty of fun... it should also be fun!), practice, and your child earning his or her place. But if you're looking to shape your child's future for the better with the discipline and sport of Taekwondo, you won't regret bringing your child to Ridgeland Tawkwondo.“
