A TKD FAQ

Kids often ask a lot of questions

Yep, that’s right. We wrote a list of random FAQ questions that we receive all the time. We remember when we were earlier in our training and one of us kept asking our instructors questions. So many questions. (To their credit, our instructors answered all of them.) Here are some of the ones he asked!

Where Did Tae Kwon Do Start?

Tae Kwon Do started in South Korea in the 1940s and 50s. Though one of our instructors, who is trained as a historian, got quite frustrated and said “it’s not that simple! It’s never that simple!”

When Does an Instructor’s Training End?

Never! In fact, our instructors still train by themselves, with each other, or even under another school!

What Books Do Tae Kwon Do Teachers Read?

Well one of us has recently been reading Ready Player One, The Art of War, and Mark Bittman’s cookbook!

What Age Can a Person do Tae Kwon Do?

Well, it depends on the school, but some go as low as 3 years old. If you’re worried that you might be too old for Tae Kwon Do, don’t worry! Our instructors have colleagues who have retired from their career and still train!

Families often train together!

Can A Disabled Person Do Tae Kwon Do?

Absolutely! In fact, most instructors have worked with students with all kinds of disabilities from autism, to ADHD, to mobility issues!

As a side note, one of our instructors is disabled himself, and he has won many an award.

Can a Tae Kwon Do Person Learn How To Use A Sword?

Sure! Tae Kwon Do Schools often offer sword classes as part of their curriculum. As a result, Some of our instructors have training in swords as well as nunchucks, staffs, and even throwing knives!

Hope these helped answer some of your questions!
