"I
have practised Tae Kwon-Do before, will I be able to continue
training from my old belt?"
If
you have practiced ITF style Tae Kwon-Do before (this
would include patterns like Chon-Ji, Dan-Gun etc.) you
may be able to continue from your existing belt. Your
new instructor will be able to assess you and advise you
on the best way to continue your training. |

"I
have undertaken Martial Arts training in the past. Do
I have to start at beginner level?"
All Martial Arts have different syllabuses (although many
of the movements are somewhat similar). Having undertaken
a Martial Art before will be a great advantage to your
training in Tae Kwon-Do, but you will have to start from
white belt in order to learn the Tae Kwon-Do syllabus. |

"What
will I be doing during the classes?"
Depending on how your instructor assesses your ability,
you will be continuing your Tae Kwon-Do tuition and working
towards your next belt. |

"Do
I need a training suit?"
You will not need an official uniform until your
instructor has assessed you. Until such time you should
train in casual clothes (i.e. t-Shirt/tracksuit bottoms
etc). Please do not wear old uniform/Dobok from your previous
association unless otherwise permitted by your new instructor. |

|
"Do
I need insurance?"
Yes. As soon as your new instructor has assessed you,
you will need to purchase a licence. This is your
membership to the club, to WAKO GB (our insuring body) as well as a policy against accidental
injury and member to member liability. |

grading.
