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 reprimanded.

We strive to create an environment where 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 1,350 square feet of professional 1-inch thick martial arts mats by Zebra Mats, Inc. This enables the students to train like professionals with minimal risk of injury and maximum results.

Protective Gear

Protective gear is required for sparring. The gear is foam-dipped rubber and 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.
