FAQs
Can a young child take classes at your school?
Yes, we do allow children as young as 3 to enroll. However, we do ask children who are that young to be potty trained. Our classes for our youngest students last 40 minutes. Before you make a decision, we recommend you schedule a day for your child to come in and try a free trial class to see how they do. This way you can see if it is the right time for them to start taking a class. We ask that students wear comfortable clothing for their lessons. (e.g. sweatpants, and t-shirt)
Can the whole family take class?
Yes, and we actually encourage families to take class together. It creates a great learning experience for your children if the whole family is involved.
How many times a week does a student come out for classes?
We have a full range of class times to fit your schedule. We recommend students come atleast 2 times a week to fulfill their required number of classes for belt tests. We understand that sometimes other scheduling conflicts come up. In such instances, students may come make-up a class the following week.
What are the benefits of Tae Kwon Do?
For children and teens Tae Kwon Do can be a positive atmosphere for them to learn respect and self-confidence. It is also a good form of exercise in their physical development. For adults it can also be beneficial physically and mentally. Tae Kwon Do can also relieve stress from daily tasks.
Do I need to wait outside while my child taking a class?
Of course not. We have a waiting room specifically for our parents. There is a wide screen tv where you can watch your kids taking class. We even have a window in the back of the class where you can stand to watch your child as well.
This information can be found on the FAQ page on our website.
