Finding Your Perfect Kick: How to Choose a Taekwondo School

June 2, 2024

So, you're interested in taekwondo for your kids? That's an excellent choice! It's a fantastic way to build strength, discipline, and self-confidence. 

But with so many schools out there, how do you pick the right one? Here are some key things to consider (and why Universal Taekwondo was our choice!):

Know Your Goals: What are you hoping to get out of taekwondo? Is it self-defense, fitness, or competition? Different schools may have a stronger emphasis on certain areas.

School Credentials:  Look for a school affiliated with a reputable taekwondo organization. This ensures they follow safety guidelines and maintain a certain standard of teaching.

Instructor Expertise: The instructor is key! Observe a class. Are they qualified, patient, and good at explaining techniques? Do they prioritize safety and student well-being?

Class Atmosphere: Is the environment positive and encouraging? Are students respectful and focused during class? Does it feel like a good fit for you?

Cost and Commitment: Ask about class fees, contracts, and uniform costs. Consider how often you can realistically attend classes.

Take a Trial Class: Most schools offer introductory classes. This is your chance to experience the teaching style and see if you enjoy the environment.

Talk to Others: Chat with current students and parents. Their experiences can be invaluable in helping you decide.
