Description
Frequently Asked Questions 1.) How soon can I start? Right away, you can signup for your first class today, and be well on your way to a black belt tomorrow. 2.) When do you start new students? We start new students daily. All of our programs are ongoing and are designed to incorporate new students at any time. 3.) How young do you accept students? Our Tiny Tiger Program accommodates preschool aged children as young as 4. 4.) What if I am not happy with the martial art school I am currently enrolled in, can I transfer my current rank? We encourage anyone who is not satisfied with their current martial arts school to first speak with their instructor(s) about their concerns before considering a transfer. Since Songahmn Taekwondo is a different style of martial art, we usually cannot accept ranks from other martial arts. Though the basic techniques may sometimes be similar, the forms and philosophical teachings are not. However, whether you are currently training or have trained in the past, we are willing to evaluate your skill and determine the best place in our rank system for you. 5.) Do you have testings and do I have to pay for them? Yes, we have testing and rank promotion ceremonies. Testing is an important part of training. Testing prepares you for the next rank and gives you confidence towards the goal of Black Belt. There is a minimal charge to pay for Belts and National Rank Certificates. We test every 2 months. This is optional, not mandatory. We teach on an individual basis, and every student might not be ready to test every 2 months. 6.) Who teaches the classes? We have a highly trained staff with Nationally Certified Instructors and Certified Trainers. They must complete teaching clinics and seminars to constantly upgrade their teaching skills and abilities. They must also CPR Certified. 7.) Do you compete at Tournaments? We do. The ATA has a very exciting tournament schedule. We feel tournament competition gives great experience to the students and helps to improve their skills, but it is not required that you compete in tournaments. Some people do not like competition and we understand that. 8.) Why choose Songahm Taekwondo? It's simple. Here at Gravert’s ATA Black Belt Academy we strive to give you everything a martial art should provide. You will reach your goals, feel a sense of accomplishment, improve, and most importantly it will be fun! 9.) Where are you located? We are located at 901 E Kimberly Rd (Old Town Mall) in Davenport. 10.) What are your hours? Our hours vary depending on our classes. Monday - Thursday evenings our school is open for classes from 4:45 pm until 9 pm. Friday evenings our school is open for classes from 4:45 pm to 8 pm. On Saturdays our hours are from 8 am until noon and for special events. Other times are available by appointment. 11.) How much does it cost to take classes? We have several programs available to meet various budget and scheduling needs. The program that is best for you depends upon your goals, schedule and budget, we ask that you schedule a free introductory class. After your introduction we will be better able to determine which program will work best for you. 12.) Do I have to make an appointment? Not at all. We welcome anyone that may be interested to come by at any time. However, in order to schedule a time for you to participate in an introductory class, and to give you the time and attention you deserve, an appointment is encouraged. 13.) Will I be hassled into signing-up during my visit? Not at all. We believe Songahm Taekwondo is for everyone and we are confident that our programs speak for themselves. During your visit you will be given a tour of our facility, meet our instructor, and participate one of our exciting classes. You will also have the opportunity to speak with an instructor about the details of our programs and we will be happy to answer all of your questions during your visit as well.
