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.

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.

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

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.

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.

No.

You'll need to purchase your uniform and eventually you'll have to become a member of the TTA to be eligible to test. It's $30 for a year-long membership and the uniform is also $30. They last quite some time though, so you shouldn't have to buy more than one.

Most people sign up for the year, which is $80 a month.

You'll need a uniform and you'll need to get a student membership set up at the Academy. Sparring pads and all that comes later.

It translates to the "way of the fist and foot."

If you test every time and pass, you can get to 1st Dan black belt in about 2 years. However, it takes about 10 years to become a certified instructor and longer to achieve the rank of Master.

Not really... no.

No. There are 5 primary styles of taekwondo. Chung do kwan style taekwondo (what we teach) was made specifically for the battlefield. It was created during wartime and remains the style that is taught in the Korean military and police force today.
