Questions
What families ask first
How old does a student have to be?
Students can join from age 5 and stay through 15. Little class is for ages 5 to 7, kids' class for ages 8 to 12, and the teen class for ages 13 to 15.
Why does the teen class meet on its own?
Teens work at their own pace and with partners their own size, so they have their own class time, their own drills and their own place on the mat.
Can I watch a class?
Yes. Families can watch any class from the bench along the wall. For belt tests, please stay seated and quiet and keep the flash off.
What do we wear to the first class?
A plain t-shirt and loose pants. We lend a uniform for that visit. No jewelry, hair tied back and shoes off at the mat.
What is a class like?
Students line up by belt color, bow in and warm up, then practice stances, blocks, kicks and a form. Partner drills are on pads, and class ends with a bow out.
How do belts work?
A student tests for the next belt when the instructor sees the skills.
How does tuition work, and how do I stop?
Tuition depends on the class and how many days a week a student attends. Enrollment runs month to month, with written notice 30 days ahead.
What happens if we miss a class?
A missed class can be made up in another class for the same age group and belt color in the same session. Tell the front desk ahead.
Do you run camps on school breaks?
Yes. Camp weeks fall on winter, spring and fall breaks and in the summer, with a week for teens. Register for one week or several.
Where are classes held?
In a gym we rent on Aversboro Road. Mats are down when the first class arrives, and the bench along the wall is for families.
