Many people ask about how to get started. In fact, it couldn't be simpler!
Where / When Can I Start? At any National Tae Kwon-Do training centre, simply by turning up and talking to the instructor. Check out the Timetables And Locations page, to find the class that's right for you. If possible, try to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early, so that your instructor can fill out the necessary paperwork.
What Do I Need To Know? All of our classes are barefoot. Our classes are non-contact. You don't need any martial arts experience to start. We have men, women and children from many different walks of life, fitness levels and ages training with us. You will get a great workout, and will burn more calories than aerobics. Most importantly, you will have fun!
What Do I Bring? You need to bring yourself, some comfortable clothes (t-shirt, shorts or trackpants etc.), a towel and a bottle of water to any of our classes.
Who Do I See? Talk to the instructor, who will set you up with a training card and your week free trial.
How Does The Free Trial Work?For the next week, train at any National Tae Kwon-Do Gold Coast training centre for free.
What Happens Next?After your week free trial, you are welcome to continue for $12 per class (pay as you train), or you can pay by the calendar month for the low price of $60, which entitles you to train as many times as you want at any of our 16 training centres on the Gold Coast within that calendar month.
How Do I Become A Member?When you are ready to become a member, see any of our friendly instructors or assistants, who will help you fill out the National Tae Kwon-Do Membership Forms, and measure you up for your National Tae Kwon-Do uniform and optional training shirt.
How Often Can I Train? As often as you'd like. We would recommend you at least train one day a week as a beginner, but many of our members choose to train as much as possible. It's positively addictive!
Who will I train with? Children have different self defense needs to teens and adults. For this reason, we run specialised children classes, as well as teen and adult classes. Children up to 11 years of age train in the childrens class, and 12 years and older train in the adults class. In class, you will often be partnered with someone of similar size and ability to yourself.
Can I invite a friend? Yes, in fact we encourage it! A familiar face such as a family member, friend or work colleague training with you can motivate you to stay the course and reach your personal goals.
I've still got questions. Who can I talk to for more information? Contact Chief Instructor Gavin Salter on 07 5527 7156 or 0423 349 742, or email at instructorgavin@nationaltaekwondo.net, who is more than happy to answer all of your questions, and to book you in for your week of free classes.
