How do I find the right Martial Arts School?

 First, understand that not all martial arts schools are the same. 
You should identify what you would like to gain from your training.

            • Physical Fitness
            • Spiritual Connection to Your Body
            • Self Defense
            • Stress Relief
            • Confidence
            • Mental Challenge
            • Flexibility
            • A Personal Goal 

Once you know what you are looking to gain, you should know a little
about the style of martial arts that will suit your needs.

Kung fu: fighting/forms with animal movements.

Tai Chi: gaining power through inner peace.

Judo: Throwing / leverage style.

Karate: Empty handed combat style.

Aikido: Using your opponent’s energy against them.

Jujitsu: The gentle art of manipulation.

Tae Kwon Do: The art of kicking and punching. 
Known as the most popular style in the world today.


 What should I expect from myself as a student?

Your mental approach to class will have a large impact on you as
a martial artist.
A student with a negative approach tends to “second guess”
why the instructor requires a specific drill. This attitude becomes an obstacle
that may cause a student to become frustrated or to put only a small
percentage of power into his/her techniques.

A positive student will follow his/her instructor proudly, focused on
self-improvement and mental growth. The trust the student should have
is the belief that the instructor shares the same goal as the student. 


How old does my child have to be to take class?

We offer classes for Pee Wees starting at age three. The age at which your
child can begin regular junior classes will depend on his or her level of ability. Usually kids do not start in the junior program until five-years-old.


Can you be too old to take TKD?

There is no age that is too old to train. This being said, we do advise
students to consult a doctor before starting training if concerned about
health risks. The instructors will also be able to help you more with
this topic when you come in for your first class.


Do you offer classes for learning impaired/disabled children?

We currently do not offer any special classes for learning disabled children.
If your child has ADD or AD/HD, our regular classes can be the perfect fit to
help him or her get focused. If we can not help your child, then we suggest the InSPIRE program. Please see their website for more information. www.inspireinstitute.com

We also currently offer private lessons for learning disabled children,
but a situation-specific prognosis must be discussed with our instructors.
We are currently not able to accommodate severely disabled children.


What are your prices?

To find out more information on our prices we urge you to try out our a free class. This will give you the chance to evaluate our instructors, the facility, and the quality of our classes. We offer a number of different membership options

Do you offer classes other than TKD?

For the beginner student we only offer the regular Tae Kwon Do classes.
Once the student has accomplished a more advanced level of training we incorporate weapons and techniques from a variety of different styles.
