New Students
Beginning your Martial Arts training is very simple.
Imitating those around you while following instructions is the fastest and easiest way to start learning the basics of the movements and how to control your own muscles and body. This can be a little disorientating for the new student, however, everyone seems to get in synch with the curriculum within a few classes.
We have discovered that instructing a beginning student in a slow step-by-step fashion is not only boring, it isn't the best way to train. Tae Kwon Do is an art that requires the student to learn about themselves as well as the moves or skills being taught.
Once you progress beyond the basics, and the material becomes more demanding, then we become methodical and distinct in our training methods.
No students will laugh or joke about another student's abilities or mistakes because everyone in your class was taught the same way. All the students know that everyone learns differently and at different speeds, and everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. Your fellow students want only for you to master each skill as quickly as possible
- Complete and turn in your registration
