FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What happens if I would like to do more
TAE KWON-DO?
Well it’s easy; all you have to
do is turn-up at any of these
classes just
wear loose comfortable clothing such as a tracksuit & tee shirt and
joint in.
But I'm not fit enough!
We all have to start some where, we
make no presumption on your current level of fitness, you will be asked
to work to your own potential, and what ever that might be we will
strive to make you a fitter, more flexible and more confident person
though exercise!
What's the age ranges?
We run classes specifically for
juniors, it is very difficult to generalise about the start age for
juniors, where you can get a 4 year old the play the violin and a 14
year old who can't tie their own shoe laces. We normally recommend a
round 7 years old is the youngest and we will not accept new students
who are over 70 years old, as they tend to slow the class down a bit!
So if you are between 7 and 70 you are eligible to train. All new
students are reviewed after 2 months to see if how they fit into the
class make-up. remember we have specific junior classes for
TAGB Tigers
Will everyone laugh at me?
Starting anything new can make you
fell a little self-conscious, it is a bit like riding a bike, you may
wobble around and fall of at the start but before too long it's easy and
fun
How do I get to become a black
belt?
If you train hard and listen to your
instructors getting a Black belt is a possibility, you’ll have to pass 8
separate grading over a minimum of 3 ½ years
What will is cost?
To start
with there is a two-week introductory period, which is free! After that
all you need do is meet the monthly training fees, which are currently
£16.00 per calendar month. That will entitle you to train on one night
only, should you wish to train both nights the cost is £26:00, which
also allows you to train anywhere else in the TAGB for no additional
cost! If members of the same family train together there are significant
reductions.
How often should I train?
It's up to you, some people just train
once a week, most train for both lessons and a few train all the lessons
available, it's up to you. the more often you train the more likely you
are to be able to best prepares for grading and tournaments
Will I get hurt?
Definitely not! Unlike kickboxing or
western boxing we practice a NON-CONTACT sport where the skilled use of
distance makes sure no one is injured in class.
"Tae Kwon-Do is a martial art and sport
that without the use of weapons teaches the practitioner techniques for
defence and offence. Regardless of age or sex, Tae Kwon-Do teaches the
practitioner to use his or her hands and feet in any defensive
situation."
