For Children Starting Their Trial

A Familiar Face From the First Class.

For children, we take an extra step to make the first class comfortable. New students are partnered with a student mentor who welcomes them, helps them understand what is happening during class and stays with them throughout the experience.

This gives a new student someone familiar to follow and helps them feel included from the moment they step onto the floor.

Whenever possible, we prefer new students to begin on a Monday. Starting at the beginning of the week gives the student a more complete trial experience, helps establish a routine and makes it easier to begin building consistency.

A Good Fit in Both Directions

The Trial Is Also a Chance for Us to Get to Know You.

Blackhawk TaeKwonDo is built around respect, discipline, effort and a positive training environment. During the week, you or your child get to experience the school while the Masters also get to know the student.

Our goal is to create a place where students, families and the Masters can train together with the right attitude and expectations. That is why the trial is about more than simply trying a class. It gives everyone a chance to see whether the environment is the right fit.
