Much better than early days where white belts were being equiped full body regardless.

It is really tough to wear everything while training. It is really hot when you are in open air court. But it does serve as a training.

Training just restart, but the number of convid climb again. We might need to stop training again soon.

Hello Parents
Can I check what are the things we need to purchase for classes held in CC? Uniform, guard, shoes? Can I know the estimated cost?

At which stage does kids start to spar? Thank you.

The coach will advise when you enroll for classes, typically its uniform.
Some CC classes will require shoes, depends on the ground they practice on.
Guards are only if they are contact sparring which should not start until maybe couple belts later.
Uniform from $60- 100 plus depending on brand, some places ( not CC) offer free uniform when registering for classes for x number of classes

Add on to Sob7
Guards are required when your kid/s are green belt onward. Without guards, your kid will not be able to join the sparring class.

Most of the coaches would prefer you to buy TKD equipment from them, as it is one of their incomes.

Other than the TKD uniform and Belt, you might need to pay for their TKD badge and sew on the name for the uniform.

As for Guards, you will need Groin Guard, Shin Guard, a Forearm Protector, and a Body Gear. Some clubs will need you to buy Head Gear, Clove Protector and In Step Guard, Equipement bag, and Target.

If you practice TKD on rough ground, they will recommend you to buy TKD shoes. If not, it is not necessary. In a centralized grading, you cannot wear any shoe for the safety of your sparring partner.

Oh wow, I am paying for my 2 girls at $45 each for 3 months term at 90 min per lesson (typically 2hrs to 3hr) weekly.

Of cos, no air con and no floor mat. It's open air HDB badminton court.

The training classes held inside CC, do they still limit to maximum 10 students, per class ?

My club will restart this coming Saturday with max of 25 per class include coaches. It really depends on the space that your CC has.

Since ActiveSG and Gov.sg said can have outdoor classes subjected to safe distancing, wear masks and class size cap;

Q1. Are TKD classes in CC/RC still on-going?
Q2. Would you send your kids if instructors can fulfill the 3 requirements?

Now we are waiting for the reopening. As for me, I will go for it.

Not really, been to a few national comp and some clubs do not supply ref even though they suppose to.From understanding there are refs for hire.That's why ref courses are quite full.

My club has not able to join any national competition under STF due to we do not have register referees under our club.

You may start training and volunteer to be their referee.[/quote]Hi Bravotiger,

It is easier said than done. Unless your club have enough of Black Belt who have the same idea as you are, it is impossible to have people be trained as a referee. Not mentioning volunteer to be a referee.

Lolx.

RC/CC can join competition, in fact there is a PA/STF competition that is only open to CC/RC/PA affiliates.
What I see is that the level and intensity of training is different for RC/CC classes vs private classes (most not all) so for competition the private schools tend to fare better.
Like I said, depends on what is your expectation

In order to join National Competition, it depends greatly on the club. To my understanding, the club will need to have a few active referees who serve STF actively.

My coach just brings the price up from $50 for 3 months/1 term to $80 for 3 months/1 term at 60 min per lesson.

Same, no air con and no floor mat. It's open air CC Basketball court.

60 min is barely warmed up. My daughter's lesson typically between 120 to 180 min, longest being 3.5 hours per session.[/quote]Old man Iike me, I can go from 0 -100 in 15 mins. lolx...
Anything beyond 2 hours, it is not productive to a old man like me.

35% include rental and admin works. that the reason why the class in CC and RC have bigger class.

Is Poomsae Coach course hard to clear? Once pass, can start looking for instructor job?

For my point of view Poomsae Coach course isn't hard, but u need to understand all the step of each poomsae up to taebak, basic stance, punch and blocks and accuracy / presentation of poomsae and how poomsae referee judge.
For Instructor job is very subjective of individual school, if their looking for poomsae coach only, that should be enough. however if you are intend to proceed further Korugi coach is essential aka SG-COACH level 1 (Techinal) . As this cert SG-COACH level 1 is issue by Sport Singapore.[/quote]Add on to Bravotiger information, Coaching Sessions for Taekwondo Assistant Coaches:[list][/list]School Sports Partnership (SSP) – Weekdays only.

Hi, may i ask if there are any good TKD courses for kids 5-6 years old in the east? More for my kid to have fun. Tks.

Sorry to rain on your parade.

If you plan to let your kid have some fun, I will not recommend TKD as it is a discipline martial arts.
