Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
This is very often the first question people ask, but it should be the last because you must first know what you are buying, the quality of instruction, the certification of the Instructors, and to choose the options that are best for your budget. At Blue Kight Taekwondo, I make training affordable for EVERYONE, and I refuse to let the cost be an obstacle that prevents someone from joining our program. Your tuition cost will be discussed in person once you choose your training option, and I will make it affordable for you. That's my guarantee! So, let's meet, and take the first step on a new and positive journey.
At many Martial Art schools... yes! But NOT at Blue Knight Taekwondo. Most other schools advertise cheap tuition (you usually get what you pay for - "cheap" quality), but then they add on fees for uniforms, patches, gym bags, sparring gear, and expensive belt test fees. At Blue Knight Taekwondo, you pay a Registration Fee and Tuition for each 11-week semester. All uniforms & supplies are provided at no extra cost, and there are no color belt test fees. Once we agree upon the tuition option that fits your budget, you can pay in full (cash or check) at the start of each semester, or arrange any number of smaller payments throughout the semester.
We accept students starting at the age of 5 (or 4 if they will turn 5 during their first semester. Adults train separate from children (except parents training with their kids), and there is no age limit. You are never too old to start Taekwondo training, but don't keep putting it off and making excuses. The time to start is now! The sooner the better for you. Children (boys & girls) benefit at an early age from positive reinforcement of discipline, self control, respect, mental focus, good learning habits, and fun training with other children in safe environment. Adults (men & women) can benefit from healthy exercise, enjoyable interaction training with other adults, focus, confidence, balance, coordination, developing good, positive habits while eliminating negative, bad habits, and learning effective self defense. Everyone works at their own pace, pushing yourself hard, but only doing what you can, when can, and improving gradually. Much older students are not required to kick high or fly through the air. You learn self defense that YOU can actually do in real-life if attacked. Training is adapted to the individual, including those with physical, mental, or emotional challenges.
Yes! All of our Instructors are certified Black Belts through the United States Chung Do Kwan Association (www.uscdka.com), and are required to pass a background check upon first becoming a Black Belt, and repeat background checks for each advancement in Degree of the Black Belt. Instructor certification is separate from Black Belt rank, and also requires a background check for all adult leaders beginning at Associate Instructor, to Instructor, Sr. Instructor, Master Instructor and Grandmaster levels. Each Instructor upgrade requires another background check conducted by the USCDKA under the direction of its President, & Kwanjangnim (Association Dean), Sr. Grandmaster Brenda J. Sell, 9th Degree Black Belt, Kukkiwon & World Chung Do Kwan Association.
