TAE KWON DO FAQ.

Q, Do I need to be fit to start?
A, No all the training is targeted to work to the individuals own level of fitness, this method will help you progress quickly and soon after starting Tae Kwon Do you will see personal improvements in fitness and flexibility.

Q, Will I need a suit to start?
A, No I don’t push my students into buying suits(doboks) until I’m sure they are going to stay about 10 weeks into the classes.

Q, What do I wear if not a suit?
A, Something loose you can move about in, tracksuit, jogging bottoms or shorts and a T-shirt will be fine.

Q, Do I have to pay a membership fee?

Q, What age can I train at?
A, You can start from about 7 years of age up, my youngest student is 6 and my oldest is 58.

Q, Will I get hurt when I fight or do self defence moves?
A, No all the sparring is semi contact in Tae Kwon Do which means the kicks and punches are pulled to make them safe, all the self defence moves are strictly controlled as they are very effective.

Q, How much will it cost and how often do I need to train?
A, £4.00 a lesson, or a monthly fee of £25 this allows you to train at any of my 2 clubs 4 nights a week. To get the most from Tae Kwon Do you should train 2 times per week.
