FAQ

  • How many classes per week can I do?
    We encourage you to do 3 - 4 classes per week. At least 2 classes for maximum physical and mindset results. You can train at our centres for one inclusive monthly or term fee.
  • Do you have any other programs for adults?
    Our current 12+ program is High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), which includes martial arts and functional strength exercises. Suitable for ages 12+ and adult groups. We will soon be opening up subjects specifically for adults.
  • Can I organise a private lesson?
    Yes, JK Taekwondo private lessons are very popular. You can work one-on-one with a private instructor to hone a difficult skill, achieve a specific goal or just catch up on a class. Please contact Christopher Chong for details.
  • Do you have social events?
    Yes, of course. Our social events are never compulsory, but always fun. From dress-up days to open nights, we’re always happy to see you. Our Birthday Party is open for all the members.
  • As a beginner, will I have sore muscles?
    Yes, this is likely. Your body is communicating to you that it needs exercise and conditioning. Body strength and toning are lost through inactivity. Similarly, exercise strengthens and tones your muscles.
  • What should I do to lessen the pain of sore muscles?
    Don’t skip class! Get the blood circulating in your muscles with simple stretching and light taekwondo conditioning. As your muscles become stronger they’ll adapt to strenuous activity.
  • What should I eat before and after training to become a healthier athlete?
    Eat ‘living waters and live foods’. That is, foods high in water content such as fruit and vegetables. These are quickly absorbed by the body, require little energy to digest (which saves that energy for training) and convert quickly to usable energy. The water content helps with hydration before and after training.
  • How long will it take to get my black belt?
    With consistent practise, it should take you about two-and-a-half years or 10 cycles to reach your black belt.
  • Will I lose weight doing taekwondo?
    Yes, very likely. Proper nutrition and exercise will reduce body fat and tone your muscles. If weight loss isn’t your goal, speak to us about tailoring a diet and exercise program to bulk up rather than slim down.
  • How can I improve my health and energy right now?
    Practise ‘power breathing’. Breathe in to the count of 1, hold for 4 counts, and slowly release the breath to the count of 2. It really is as easy as breathing! Just remember the ratio of 1:4:2.
  • I don’t want my child getting into fights. Won’t martial arts make them want to fight?
    No. Martial arts has its roots in self-defense, but we teach children that violence is not the answer to their problems.
  • My child hates sports – won’t they hate martial arts too?
    Some kids who come to us are resistant at first, but martial arts instruction is both fun and active. Many kids think that martial artists are cool and that can help them stick with it even if it’s hard at first.
  • Can martial arts help my child have faith in their abilities?
    Yes. Kids who study martial arts learn that hard and persistent work pays off. Each small success helps children believe in themselves and have faith they can achieve their next goal.
  • My child isn’t physically coordinated. Will they get hurt?
    No. Our instructors are experienced working with children of all abilities and ages. Your child will learn at a pace that is comfortable for them, and in environment that puts their physical safety first.
  • What skills will my child learn to help themselves do better in school?
    Martial arts training teaches focus, discipline, self-control, and respect. These traits help children let go of petty grievances and learn to pay attention to the things that are most important to their future success.
