What age can my child start?
Little Tigers takes students from age 3. Children Taekwondo runs 5–12, and Taekwondo Kombat is 12 and up — there is no upper age limit. Adults are welcome and we have them on the mat.
Does my child need any experience?
None. Every program starts from the very beginning, and most students walk in having never thrown a kick. The instructor takes new students through the basics from their first class.
What does it cost to start?
The first month is $75, and the uniform is included when you enroll. That is a full month of classes — not a single trial lesson — so you can see whether it fits before deciding anything.
What is tuition after the first month?
It depends on the program and how many days a week you train. Taekwondo is $200 for three days a week, $175 for two, or $150 for one. Little Tigers is $175 a month and Women's Kickboxing is $150. The tuition page has the full breakdown.
Are there contracts?
No. Nothing to sign that locks you in, and no cancellation fee. If you need to stop, tell us before your next billing date and that is the end of it. We would rather earn the next month than trap anyone into it.
What should we wear to the first class?
Comfortable athletic clothes and bare feet. You will get your official dobok (uniform) when you enroll.
How often is testing, and what does it cost?
Belt graduations are held every three months and the testing fee is $82. To graduate, a student needs all 6 stripes for their current belt and a minimum of 12 classes. Your instructor decides when a student is ready and issues the invitation — nobody tests just because the date came around. Family and friends are welcome to watch.
What are the stripes on my child's belt?
Stripes mark progress between belts. There are 6 stripes per belt, awarded in class as your child demonstrates each part of the curriculum for their rank — forms, technique, terminology and conduct. All six have to be earned before graduating to the next belt, so you can always see how far along they are without waiting for graduation day.
How long does a black belt take?
Following our belt ladder, about four years of consistent training. Each rank has its own time at rank and its own requirements — you can see the whole path on the belts page. A rank here reflects real growth in technique and character, so it takes as long as it takes.
Is taekwondo safe for children?
Yes. Protective gear is required for all sparring, drills are matched to the age group, and everything on the mat is supervised. Tell us about any medical condition or injury before the first class so we can teach around it.
Can parents watch class?
Always. Parents are welcome to sit and observe. We only ask that coaching from the sideline is left to the instructor.

Do you pick up from school?
Yes, in Belle Glade. We collect from local schools Monday through Friday and run until 6:00 PM — homework help, activity, and mat time, with the Taekwondo class itself at 3:30–4:30 PM on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Spots are limited by how many children we can safely transport, so call early in the term. See After School Taekwondo.
What happens when school is closed?
We run camps at $150 a week with a field trip every day, and single holiday days at $50 for things like teacher planning days. Your child does not need to be enrolled in classes to come. See camps.
Do you have anything for adults?
Two things. Taekwondo Kombat is our 12-and-up program, and Women's Kickboxing runs twice a week at $150 a month, open to all ages with no experience needed.
Who certifies your black belts?
Black belt ranks are registered through Kukkiwon, the world headquarters of Taekwondo, so the rank is recognised internationally. Our curriculum descends from the Moo Duk Kwan lineage, and the school carries an endorsement from FEMEXTKD, Mexico's national Taekwondo federation. See affiliations.
