Question 1

What should I bring to my first class?

Plenty of water, any medication you may need and wear loose clothing you would wear for gym or PE.

Question 2

I don't have experience, do I have to be fit?

Accepted Answer

The main priority is the preservation and promotion of health. And Taekwon-Do is perfect for this. Regardless of the gender and age of the student, his skills and level of training, Taekwon-Do is an excellent basis for strengthening and preserving health.
However, if you do have any existing medical conditions, or sustain any injuries between classes, please ensure you inform the instructor BEFORE training commences.

Question 3

How safe is Taekwon-Do

Accepted Answer

Taekwon-Do is a full-contact martial art, yet the injury rate in taekwondo is kept to a minimum. Protective equipment, including shin and handguards, gloves, foot protection, groin protection, protector (protective vest), helmet, and mouth guard, allows you to conduct sports duels without the risk of serious injury.
 
The safety and comfort of our students is always a consideration and we do our utmost to protect their well-being. Martial Arts do have a level of contact and injuries can occur, our instructors are fully trained first aiders.
