Not at all! Most likely the opposite. We focus on having complete control over your mind and your body. Part of controlling your mind is controlling your emotions. For example, aggression is an emotion that often stems from anger, jealousy, and hate. These emotions generally stem from a lack of confidence and control. Our classes help our students build both confidence and control.

For kids class, we start them at 7, but we also have classes for anybody age 4 and older. (sometimes 3 with evaluation)

Yes, we offer family discounts, but it changes depending on the program, so please call us or make an evaluation/consultation appointment for a personal consultation session to find out what programs work best for you and your family.

We find that 2-3 classes per week are an excellent balance for most members. However, you can add additional days to your schedule as well.

We do have set days for classes, however, if your schedule does not allow that, please contact us, and we can work something out for your situation. Also, as long as there is space in a class, members are more than welcome to make up classes on off days, but priority is given to students who have that class as a scheduled day.

To ensure we deliver our students the skills and benefits we promise, we have strict requirements for our belts compared to most other martial arts schools. This also ensures we can keep our classes as safe as possible. However, if you have a belt from another school, we will let you test with us privately to the point where you fit in our curriculum or until you reach your current belt. This is a very case-by-case thing, so don't hesitate to get in touch with us to discuss your specific situation.

Tae Kwon Do is a physical activity, and like any physical activity, there is a risk of injury. However, we put a significant focus on safety. We have decades of experience teaching martial arts properly and safely. So while there is always a risk, you can be confident that your safety is the number one priority.

No, sparring is not required. Anybody who does not wish to participate in the sparring elements will always have alternate activities. However, we believe that sparring and putting your skills to actual use is hugely beneficial to increasing your self-defense skills. It also maximizes your confidence and personal growth, so it is encouraged that students consider it. There is a vast difference between controlled training sparring and the more intense competitive sparring you might be familiar with. We would be happy to talk with you about our sparring and how we can safely and systematically introduce you to it. Still, in the end, if it's not for you, that is entirely alright and understandable.
