Martial Arts Schools in Ridgeland

“Absolutely great place to train. Super welcoming environment with amazing coaches. I highly recommend checking them out.“

“My wife and I have been training here for the last 3 months. The instructors have been very thorough and quite knowledgeable. I have been thoroughly impressed with the depth of knowledge on display and the fact that there are quite frequently half a dozen or more black belts on the floor with the lower (Gup) ranks and most of those seem to be 4th Dan or higher master rank instructors. I have trained martial arts for the last 30 years and I find it exceedingly rare to find a school with that many experienced instructors to train with.“

“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.“
