Thinking about starting Taekwondo at Legacy Martial Arts? Here are answers to the questions families in Wausau ask us most. Reach out anytime if yours isn't covered.
Yes. New students can try a free Introductory Class before committing to anything. Kids intro classes run Monday and Wednesday evenings, and there is an adult intro class on the same nights. Just pick a time on our booking form and we'll take it from there.
Taekwondo is a Korean martial art known for its fast, powerful kicks, along with strikes, blocks, forms, and sparring. Training builds flexibility, balance, coordination, and self-defense skills, and it puts a strong emphasis on respect, discipline, and self-control both in and out of class.
Our kids Taekwondo program is for ages 6 to 13. Students 14 and older join the adult program. Classes are grouped by age and rank, so your child trains alongside students at a similar stage and gets plenty of personal attention from our instructors.
Not at all. Most of our students started with zero martial arts experience, including adults in their 50s. Our instructors demonstrate every technique step by step, and you work at your own pace. Fitness and flexibility come with training, not before it.
Wear comfortable athletic clothes you can move and kick in, like a t-shirt and athletic pants or shorts. Taekwondo is trained barefoot, so no special shoes are needed. Bring a water bottle and arrive a few minutes early so we can welcome you and show you around.
Absolutely. Many of our members are families where kids, parents, and even grandparents all train. Kids and adults have their own classes, plus some all-ages classes like forms and weapons, so the whole family can share the Taekwondo journey together.
Our instructors treat students like family. Every class has multiple instructors on the floor, so each student gets real attention and coaching. We teach more than kicks, focusing on respect, integrity, focus, and confidence that carry over into school, work, and home.
