What is TaeKwonDo and how is it different from other martial arts?
|
|
The martial arts were developed thousands of years ago as forms of self defense. Karate originated in Japan and Kung Fu came from China. TaeKwonDo is native to Korea. In terms of techniques, TaeKwonDo emphasizes kicks more than other martial arts, making it ideal for improving your child’s balance, flexibility, and endurance. Literally translated, ‘Tae’ means foot, ‘Kwon’ means hand, and ‘Do’ means art or the way of life.

|

Yes we do. We have two kinds of tuition discounts. One is a Family Program where discount is applied to a family with more than one member joining together. Second is a Corporate Program where the discount is offered to the corporate employees with numbers of employees signing up in our program together. For more information, please contact our facility at (503) 682‑2318.

|
Can I transfer my belt from another school?
|
|
Yes. At LMAA, we acknowledge the training you have in TKD and will try to meet the same level of training you carried over. In most cases, Master Lee will observe your skill and knowledge and discuss with you on what level will work for you. If the belt rank order is different in some cases, he will find the same level belt for you.
|
|
How often can I test?
|
|
We have four Belt Tests in a year, on a quarterly basis, in March, June, September, and in December. Taking the Belt Test is just as important as the regular TKD classes and required to pass in order to move onto the next level of TKD. If you plan to take the Belt Test every time, then you can test four times a year. However, if you decide not to take the test, it is still no problem. You can always test on the next one coming in three months. Do keep in mind that, we have Make-Up Test available for those with schedule conflicts that cause you to miss the regular belt test day. Prior discussion with Master Lee is required.
