Question 1

What the difference between Sun Yi's Academy and other schools?

Accepted Answer

The style we teach better prepares you to successfully defend your self in a threatening situation.

If you are training for they Olympics, then this is not the best style to choose. If you are training for health, to learn self defense, or anything along those lines, then this is what you're looking for.

Question 2

How often do I need to attend class?

Accepted Answer

You can attend as many classes as you wants as long as you are eligible. If you want to progress, you should attend two class a week at a minimum.

Question 3

How often can I test?

Accepted Answer

Lower rank testing takes place roughly every 2 months. Black belt testings depend on your rank.

Question 4

Is there a Trial Program for Traditional Taekwondo?

Unfortunately, there is not. This is because the first 2-3 weeks consist of Orientation. Any trial program would be almost over by the time you get to a traditional class.

Question 5

What makes the Hays school unique?

Accepted Answer

We have been privileged to have trained with a lot of law enforcement over the years and have instructors who have had to put their skills to use in real life. We know what works and what doesn't.

Question 6

What are the ages?

Accepted Answer

Little Lions is for ages 4-9.

Traditional Taekwondo is for ages 9 and up. The oldest student in Sun Yi's Academy is over 80... so you're not too old.

Question 7

Do you do tournaments?

Accepted Answer

As often as we can, yes. We're currently trying to host more Open Tournaments here in Hays as well.

Question 8

Do you teach weapons?

Accepted Answer

No. Any taekwondo school that claims to be "traditional" and teaches weapons is not a traditional school. Not that there's anything wrong with weapons training, it's just not the 'way of the fist and foot.'
