First Class Checklist

Your child's first Taekwondo class is a trial — no equipment, no uniform required. Here's everything you need:

What to Wear

  • Jogging pants and a white t-shirt
  • No shoes needed on the mat — bare feet only
  • Hair tied back if long
  • No jewelry, watches, or earrings during training

What to Bring

  • A bottle of water (labeled with your child's name)
  • Any medical information the instructor should know (asthma inhaler, allergies)

What to Leave at Home

  • ✗ Shoes (removed before stepping on the mat)
  • ✗ Food (no eating during class)
  • ✗ Phones and tablets (distraction-free zone for students)

For Parents

  • Arrive 5–10 minutes early
  • You're welcome to watch from the viewing area
  • Bring questions — our coaches love talking to parents after class

After the Trial

If your child wants to enroll, our team will walk you through uniform options, schedule, and fees at the front desk. If they need another visit, that's completely fine — the trial is always free.
