How often should I attend class ?Students may attend once a week, but in order to progress to higher rankings, a minimum of twice a week is required in order to qualify for exams.
How large are the classes ?Weekday class sizes are usually small on Thursday evenings held at the British School of Brussels facilities at Tervuren. The weekend classes are a little larger but still of a good size to be family orientated.
What happens if I miss a class ?Students progress at their own pace so if a class is missed, it's usually not a problem. Please note that fees are paid on a monthly basis after the introductory lesson and are not refunded for missed classes.
How old must I be to start Tae Kwon Do ?Students as young as 5½ years can start classes. Every student progresses at their own pace.
What is the difference between Karate and Tae Kwon Do ?Tae Kwon Do does actually emanate from a Japanese style of Karate called Shotokan as the founder of Tae Kwon Do was himself a black belt in Shotokan.
Is any special equipment required ?A comfortable training suit or gym wear can be worn for the first lessons. A dobok (uniform for Tae Kwon Do) should be purchased within one month of joining the Club. For other equipment, this will be discussed with the instructor depending on how the student progresses. There isn’t a big requirement for purchases with Tae Kwon Do as compared to other sports.
Do I need a medical exam before joining ?A medical exam is important if you're not sure of your health condition, or if you've not trained for some time. Students with heart problems shouldn’t train, and other medical problems should be brought to the instructor’s attention. |
