Frequently Asked Questions
Is Taekwondo safe for young children?
Absolutely! Our classes are designed specifically for children with safety as the top priority. We use age-appropriate techniques and never teach dangerous moves to young children.
What if my child is shy or lacks confidence?
Perfect! Taekwondo is excellent for building confidence. We create a supportive, non-competitive environment where every child can succeed at their own pace.
Do children spar or fight?
No contact sparring for children under 10. Older children may do light, controlled sparring with full protective equipment when they're ready and with parent permission.
How long before my child gets their first belt?
Most children earn their first belt (white to yellow) within 2-3 months of regular attendance. The exact timeline depends on the individual child's progress.
What if my child doesn't like it?
No problem! The first week is completely free with no obligation. If your child doesn't enjoy it, there's no commitment to continue.
Can parents watch the classes?
Yes! Parents are welcome to watch from our viewing area. We find that children often perform better when they know their parents are watching proudly.
