FAQS

What age do I need to be to start training in Taekwondo?

Our taekwondo program offers all ages 4+, from beginners to experienced competitors. We offer a variety of classes and programs to meet the needs of everyone, including children's classes.

Do I need to be in good shape to start training in Taekwondo?

No, you do not need to be in good shape to start training in Taekwondo. Our instructors will help you get in shape at your own pace. Taekwondo is a great way to get in shape and learn self-defense at the same time.

What's the difference between Songahm Taekwondo & other martial arts?

The Songahm curriculum is about much more than physical talent.  It’s about personal development of the mind and body.  To say it is merely “self-defense” would take away from the valuable ideas and philosophies that are deeply rooted in this art. Each instructor has been certified based on 50 years of tradition and research development with over 1 million students trained worldwide.
