From the reviews

I am the owner of a local new dojo not too far from Humble Warrior taekwondo school here in Rio Rancho. I must say that Ms Donna, the head instructor and owner is absolutely incredible.

★★★★★ — Shorei, Jul 2019

My daughter loves martial arts, especially Taekwondo. Ever since we moved back from Califronia to New Mexico, she was interested in getting back into it again. We couldn't have found a better place. This dojo has activated such dedication that I have never seen before om her.

★★★★★ — Desi, Jan 2025

Upon calling and questions with Ms Donna, she answered right away and was inviting. So My wife and I decided to attend the adult class on Wednesday and was impressed with the dojang. It was very clean and the training was excellent. I am new to Taekwon-do but will certainly be joining.

★★★★★ — Dustin, Sep 2020

We love humble warrior. I love seeing my kid improve and grow not just physically but mentally as well. Even at home I think my kid is becoming more disciplined and responsible each day. Wonderful instructors. Nice place. Inviting community.

New to kickboxing? Start at Humble Warrior Taekwon-Do

Humble Warrior Taekwon-Do comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first kickboxing class at Humble Warrior Taekwon-Do

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
