Why FamTKD Plus?
Here are some answers to our most common questions:
- What is Taekwondo and how does it differ from other martial arts?
Taekwondo emphasizes kicking and legwork in self defense and training, making it ideal for developing coordination and confidence in younger students, and helping adults maintain physical fitness. While our program basics are built on taekwondo kicking and drills, we continue to integrate movements and ideas from all the arts.
- What age can children begin training?
In our experience, it's best to start children after age four, when they can remember and repeat a basic series of instructions.
- Do martial arts increase agression?
No! In fact, we've found that ongoing training can significantly aid children and young adults who may be experiencing elevated emotional states. Our school provides a strong, supportive environment and disciplined instruction to keep students constantly engaged.
- Can I take classes with my child?
Absolutely! We strongly encourage families to practice the arts together. Families can attend either child or adult classes in addition to our scheduled family classes.
- Is it safe to learn?
We are committed to a program that teaches useable self-defense in a manner that minimizes blunt physical contact. Students work step-by-step with instructors, developing confidence and understanding of the underlying concepts. We're proud of an outstanding safety record.
- What if I'm out of shape/injured?
The majority of our program can be adapted for people with physical disabilities (injuries, etc), and you'll always be around a group of encouraging, supportive students. Our belt system allows students to develop at their appropriate pace.
