CLASSES
Intro to Martial Arts (Ages 6+) This class is designed provide an introduction to students who are new to martial arts. It offers a fun and supportive environment where instructors work with students to improve balance, coordination, and focus, while learning Taekwondo skills and developing physical fitness. Students learn basic kicks, blocks, and strikes through a combination of traditional forms and drills, as well as a variety of fun games. Once students progress to a sufficient level (typically orange belt) they are invited to move to the Youth Taekwondo Class.
Youth Taekwondo (Ages 11+ or Instructor Permission) This class is for students looking to take Taekwondo to the next level. Students learn more advanced techniques through traditional forms and controlled-contact sparring focused on body-control and defensive tactics. Improve physical fitness, coordination, and focus as you work toward your world recognized blackbelt. Beginning and Intermediate students may also attend the Intro to Taekwondo class which serves as a great warm-up for the Youth Class and reinforces basic techniques. Advanced students who have achieved a sufficiently high rank will be invited to train with the Adult Taekwondo class. Younger students with previous martial arts experience should contact an instructor at the Northfield Dojang to see which class is best for them.
Adult Taekwondo (16+) This class is designed for adults of all levels of experience. Students work to build confidence, develop core-strength, and improve physical fitness with Taekwondo. From beginner through advanced with a curriculum that works toward a world recognized blackbelt, students learn traditional forms and drills as well as defensive tactics, progressing to application of techniques through controlled-contact sparring. Students enrolled in the adult class may also attend the Youth Class or Intro class if desired. Higher rank youth students may also be invited to train at the same time as this class as they approach testing for their blackbelt.
