Below we have tried to answer some
Frequently Asked Questions:
I’ve never done
a Martial Art before, so how do I know if it’s for me?
You don’t know until you try, that’s why we
offer free lessons to help you decide.
I’m not
very fit/flexible so will I be able to join in?
Taekwon-Do training builds over time, so as
your fitness improves so do the challenges of the class.
How many
Instructors are there?
At GTI Swindon Taekwondo we have 3 qualified
Instructors and 2 qualified assistant Instructors. All Instructors are CRB checked
and are first aid qualified, we also have public liability insurance.
How often
can I train?
To start with classes are one hour, twice per
week at the Haydon Centre.
What
equipment will I need to train?
To start with you will need just a pair of track
suit bottoms and a T-shirt. Once you have decided to join you will get your
training Suit (Dobuk). After three to six months you will then need to purchase
sparring safety equipment.
Is it
dangerous?
Any Martial Art has risks, but we have
trained instructors and have carried out health and safety risk assessments, as
a result Taekwon-do is a low risk activity.
Do I have
to sign a contract or Direct Debit mandate?
We do not use a contract based fee system;
fees are paid monthly by cheque. We want you to train because you like to and
not because you are financially committed to.
Is there a joining fee?
You pay a joining fee of £75 which includes a
suit (Dobuk) with a white belt, a Licence (including annual Insurance cover)
and one months training, you will thereafter
pay a monthly fee to train. Family reductions apply.
What ages do you teach?
Students aged 9 and over will be
considered on an individual basis, there is no upper age limit as everybody has
different capabilities.
When can I
grade?
We hold coloured belt gradings every 3
months.
When can I come along?
New students are
welcome at the Haydon Centre every Monday at
Can we train with our children?
Taekwon-Do is a great
family activity, but parents be warned children often pick techniques up
quicker than you so they might surpass you to start with.
