Frequently Asked Questions
How do I enroll myself or my child in classes?

What is the class schedule for my student?
The class schedule for all students can be found under the schedule tab. Please pay close attention to the start and end times of each class in addition to any additional requirements that may need to be met in order to attend a class. Some classes are age restricted and some require special equipment to attend. Students should arrive before the scheduled start time of the class. Students who are late by 15 minutes or more will not be permitted to join the current class. Students are not limited to the number of classes they can take per day or week as long as the student meets the class requirements shown on the schedule.
Is there an age requirement?
For students that are 3-6 years old, we would first need to see how the student is able to behave in class by allowing them to have a test class at no cost to you. Potential students must be able to follow basic instructions and not be a distraction to the class. If the student is unable to follow directions or ends up misbehaving, they will not be accepted into our classes. Other than that, there is no age requirement. We welcome children, teens, adults, and families!

How often do students test to promote to the next rank?
Qualified students are given the option of promotion testing once every three months. Participating in the promotion test does not guarantee promotion, as students must meet the evaluation criteria that is set for each promotion test.
How long does it take to reach black belt?
Assuming a student passes every quarterly promotion test, achieving first degree black belt typically takes around three years. Students that reach black belt will be officially certified through Kukkiwon, the Taekwondo Headquarters located in South Korea. Students receive an authentic certificate recognizing them as an official black belt. This certification is sometimes required to enter high level tournaments as a black belt.
On the journey to black belt, students develop exceptional interpersonal skills, confidence, discipline, focus, and self defense skills. Students also make positive and long lasting relationships with the instructors and students around them.
