** Do you want to train with weapons? ** In order for you to begin working with weapons, you must demonstrate self control at home, school, and in taekwondo class. The decision to work with the weapons is made by the student, parents, and the instructors. // Please see an instructor for more information and pricing details! // ||

** What are those star things? **  Students can participate in the Karate for Kids Program. In this program, students earn stars by “acting like a black belt” outside of taekwondo class. This includes getting good grades, demonstrating courtesy and respect, and by attending taekwondo events beyond classes. Parents determine actions that are “star worthy.” Stars are then placed on a V-Patch, which is worn on the left side of the student’s uniform. For every 25 stars, the student earns another patch!
