Before you begin
Your questions, answered
From your first lesson to your next belt. Find the information you need.
Is it safe for my child to learn Taekwondo?
Yes, Taekwondo is very suitable for kids due to its flexible and adaptable methodologies, meaning that it will not unnecessarily force and strain your children, but will rather train them slowly so that they enjoy the training sessions.
In addition to safety being our top priority, all our coaches are also First Aid with CPR+AED certified. Of course, there are always risks associated when participating in any sports like soccer, basketball, or cycling. However, serious accidents are an extremely rare occurrence in martial arts.
Where can I order the Taekwondo uniform?
You may order the Taekwondo uniform via our Product Order Form.
Singapore Taekwondo Federation regulations require students to only wear "approved" uniforms during trainings, events, and exams. The uniform that we carry and provide is JCAlicu (approved by STF).
How long does it take to achieve the Black Belt?
On average, it usually takes 3-4 years for a student to achieve their first Black Belt (1st Dan).
What are the different belt colours in Taekwondo? (Belt Progression)
Is there a test that students must attend?
Yes, students will be required to go for the Promotion Tests known as "Gradings". Gradings are held quarterly (every 3 months) by the Singapore Taekwondo Federation. Gradings are used to gauge the student's progression in the sport and provide them with the opportunity to achieve a higher belt level.
Students will be required to perform their Poomsae (pattern), a Technique Demonstration (kicking) and complete rounds of Kyorugi (sparring) with another student (for Green Belts & above only).
Note: Gradings are optional to attend. Students will only be required to go for Gradings if they want/are ready to obtain the next belt level.
Will there still be lessons during the holidays?
Lessons will continue as per usual during the school holidays.
However, there will no lessons if it coincides with a Public Holiday (e.g. National Day, Christmas Day etc.).
What happens to the lesson if it rains?
Depending on the location (sheltered vs unsheltered) and severity of the bad weather, lessons may or may not be cancelled. The coaches will update everyone accordingly in the class WhatsApp group. There will be no charges for cancelled lessons.
Raining Before Lesson:
Lessons will resume as per normal if it is just raining slightly. If there is no shelter at the usual class location, coaches will update the alternative location in the class WhatsApp group in advance.
Raining Halfway During Lesson (for unsheltered location only):
Coaches will move the students to the nearest sheltered location and update the class WhatsApp group accordingly.
What to wear/bring for the free trial class?
Ensure that your child is in sports attire and bring along a water bottle.
What if my child learn Taekwondo with another club before?
Your child can continue from their previous belt level but they will have to obtain the Grading Card from their previous club.
