Safety Precautions

We are often asked by concerned parents and prospective students,
"Is Taekwondo safe?" 
Yes, when you work at it! 
We work at safety in every class and at every event!

Since techniques become more sophisticated, students must show proficiency in their current material before progressing to learning new, and more complicated material. Further, the basic tenants of honor and respect for others are reinforced in all of our classes. Respecting others reinforces the safety taught. Aggressive behavior is disallowed in our classes, and competitions. Instances are severly repremanded.

We strive to create an envirnment were children, women, and men can grow in their skills and enjoyment of Taekwondo.

Be sure to let the instructor know if you are uncomfortable
with any exercise or aspect of class.

To protect our students we have installed over 1,000 sq ft of 3/4 inch thick foam floor.  This allows students to train with minimal risk of injury.

Protective Gear

• Protective gear is required for sparing. The gear includes a padded helmet, padded boots and padded gloves. A molded mouth piece is also required.
• Males are required to wear a protective cup.
• Women are encouraged to wear a padded chest protector.

If you have questions about safety that we haven't answered above we encourage you to come observe a class.   We feel certain that you will be pleased with what you observe.
