Questions
Why we choose not to publish class schedules online
In our martial arts studio, the safety and well-being of our students are our top priorities. To maintain a sense of exclusivity and confidentiality within our close-knit community, we have opted not to publish our class schedule online. This decision fosters a deeper level of trust and camaraderie among our members. Moreover, by keeping the schedule offline, we can customize our classes to better suit the individual needs and preferences of our students, ensuring each session is personalized and rewarding. We appreciate your understanding and support in our efforts to create a secure and inclusive space for everyone who enters our studio.
How are students evaluated for their belt promotions
Belt promotions are done through a structured evaluation process. Students are assessed based on a variety of criteria including their technical skills, knowledge of the art, attitude, and commitment to training, and attendance. At Fair Lawn Taekwondo, students must demonstrate proficiency in specific techniques and forms before they are eligible for a belt promotion. Promotions are a way to recognize and celebrate the progress and dedication of students as they advance in their martial arts journey. It is an exciting and rewarding moment for the student, parent and their instructor, marking a significant milestone in their training. Remember, progress in martial arts is not just about the color of your belt, but the growth and development you achieve along the way.
Why we schedule belt promotions during your child's session
The purpose of conducting belt promotions during the student's martial arts session is to boost their confidence, maintain motivation, set clear objectives, provide a sense of achievement, and foster a supportive training environment. This method enriches the Taekwondo classes, making them more meaningful and interactive.

The atmosphere is always filled with excitement and encouragement as fellow students, instructors, and family members cheer on the advancing student. It's a true celebration of hard work, dedication, and growth.
How to tie your Taekwondo belt
Tying your belt is an essential part of your training, and symbolizes your dedication and respect for the martial art. Not only does it keep your uniform in place, but it can also be a calming ritual to help you focus before practice. Follow our step-by-step guide to master the art of tying your taekwondo belt and embody the principles of discipline, perseverance, and respect.
Remember to wear your uniform and belt to every session. You'll receive a black stripe for attendance and a colored technique (form, kicking, and breaking) stripe for mastering a technique. To ensure your stripes remain intact, please avoid washing your belt.
Do you offer Taekwondo birthday parties
Certainly! Taekwondo-themed birthday parties can be a fantastic way to celebrate a special day with a unique twist. Guests can enjoy learning basic Taekwondo moves, playing fun games related to the martial art, and even break a real wooden board! In addition to the fun and excitement, your child will experience some of the important aspects of the martial arts including an increase in confidence, respect, coordination and fitness. All parties are 1.5 hours and are run by two of our professional staff members.
​
Are parents allowed to stay and watch their child's training session
Absolutely! While our martial art studio has a drop-off and a pick-up policy, you can always kindly inquire if you can observe your child's martial arts session. We understand that as a parent, you may want to see how your child is progressing and we fully support that. We have a designated viewing area in our manager's office during class time slots where parents and visitors are welcome to watch. Feel free to visit, relax, and enjoy watching your child learn and grow in their martial arts practice. Your presence and support mean a lot to us!
