For the best results, how often each week should I bring my children to class?
Twice weekly classes will be good to maintain and slowly build in skills and abilities; however if you come to three classes each week, you will see much quicker improvements along with better retention of previous lessons.
Which style or type of Tae Kwan Do is taught here?
There are two international Tae Kwan Do federations; ITF and WTF. There are no differences between them, save the fact that they are two different organizations. Both are good. Both offer the same high quality and lead to the same results. The only real difference is their headquarters location.
How long should it normally take to be promoted from one belt to another, and then through to a black belt?
Students attending classes two to three times per week should be able to rapidly progress through the first few belts within a couple of months. As the student progresses, each belt level becomes a little more challenging to achieve, requiring around six months of instruction per level increase. It will take approximately two years for a student to achieve the first level of the black belt.
Should students participate in tournaments?
Absolutely. It is an excellent way of showing support for their club. It also exposes the student to style differences taught by other masters and to recognize and thwart them. Also, participating in demonstrations is also an excellent way for the student to show a willingness to help the club (Dojo) grow by attracting the attention of newcomers interested in bettering themselves.
