Frequently Asked Questions
What style of martial arts do you teach?
We teach Kukkiwon (WTF) Taekwondo, combining both Olympic sport and traditional elements, as well as no-contact kickboxing classes. We also incorporate self defense skills, gymnastics, yoga, and weapons into our Taekwondo classes (for advanced students) to make sure that our students are receiving the greatest physical and mental benefits.
How young can I start my child?
We find that 4 years old is usually a good age to begin martial arts training. In fact, we even offer a Little Dragons class that is designed specifically for preschool aged children! Since every child is different, we recommend any child from 3 1/2 to 6 years old start with our Introductory Program so we can help determine if your child is ready for our program, as well as which class would be most appropriate.
Will martial arts make my child violent?
Absolutely not! Our program stresses the importance of treating others with respect, developing self control, and using non-violent conflict solving. In addition, we teach appropriate responses to self defense scenarios ranging from name calling to physical intimidation to even abduction attempts by an adult stranger. Reviewing appropriate responses and drilling non-violent solutions is a part of every self defense segment.
Is your program safe?
Absolutely! Our instructors are experts at safely introducing our students to new techniques as they become ready. Our facilities are fully matted and well monitored. We also have additional matting for self defense and gymnastic training and students are required to wear the appropriate safety gear for any sparring training.
How long does it take the average person to get a Black Belt?
The answer is simple: the AVERAGE person doesn't get a Black Belt. Only those special people who remain dedicated to their training and never give up when things become difficult will reach the Black Belt level. However, Black Belt is attainable for anyone regardless of age, gender, or limitations. The first step is to get started!
