The Taekwon-do classes are structured to provide students with 15-20 minutes of warm-up exercises. Following warm-up, students are divided into belt levels to begin work with patterns, or Korean forms (tuls). Patterns assist students with stances, blocks, punches, focusing, concentration and speed. Self-defense and point sparring are also part of the Unified Taekwon-Do curriculum. Hand releases, block attacks, and various kicking techniques teach the students how to protect themselves and/or flee to safety in dangerous or unexpected situations. At Unified Taekwon-Do, students may choose from several programs: 12 months or 18 months 3 years, each payable on a monthly tuition schedule. We also offer seasonal short-term and trial programs for all ages. Specialized martial arts equipment is required to ensure safety in all aspects of student training. One example within the class structure that requires specific equipment is traditional point sparring. Students practice point sparring in the classroom and in tournament competition, and must wear protective head, hand, and foot gear for individual safety. All necessary martial arts equipment, uniforms, and paraphernalia are ordered, stocked, and sold at the school for immediate and convenient purchase by parents and students. |
