The colored belt exams are open for family and friends to attend and watch.
Back to Top Can a student fail their test? No. If a student continues to try, preservers, then she/he will never fail. She/He may not complete all the requirements t the time of their test, but re-tests are always offered a week later on material missed for colored belts and a month later for black belts. Tae Kwon Do is not about failing, but about succeeding. Instructors will see that each student can succeed no matter what it takes. In the gym, four letter words like "can't" and "don't" are replaced with "can" and "do".

Why learn Korean terminology? Korean is the universal language of Tae Kwon Do. Instructors from Korea naturally issue commands and conduct their classes and training in Korean. Learning Korean terminology prepares students for participation in competitions and tournaments, as all commands are given in Korean.
For the students, it is fun and a intellectual challenge to learn and use words in another language.
Learning Korean is also crucial to know in the event that other Masters, Grand Masters or even the Great Grand Master should make a visit to our gym.
