Club Policies

Please be aware that the club policies are there to help with the smooth running of a fast growing club.

Bearing that in mind there needs to be flexibility built into the system to accommodate changes and as yet unforeseen circumstances.

In other words, the club's policies may be added to, or changed, or exceptions made from time to time due to current circumstances.

Dojang Rules.

Hello parents and members. Please help your club out by abiding by the dojang rules.

  • Please keep the noise to a minimum when coming up and down the stairs to and from training.
  • All offices upstairs (adjacent to the dojang) are strictly out of bounds.
  • The upstairs toilets are also out of bounds - please use the main toilets downstairs adjacent to the squash courts.
  • The "Kids Space" area in the dojang is only to be used when waiting for another family member who is currently training. It is not to be used by members between classes. No food or drink is to be taken into this area. Please tidy up after yourself or your children when finished.

Thank You

 Sparring and Competition

 Sparring Classes:

These are high performance training sessions. Anyone may attend (except Little Ninjas) although it is recommended that beginners have some experience in their general class first.

Dragon's will receive a "Team Dragons" badge to be sewn onto their dobok once they have competed at a tournament. Competition is not compulsory.

Only members attending Sparring Classes may be selected to participate in a sparring tournament.

Sparring Attendance

 The very nature of our sport requires us to be extremely fit, skilled and confident. The sparring attendance requirement is designed to ensure that you or your child can perform to the level required to be competitive at tournaments.

 Sparring competitors are required to attend sparring classes at least once a week if they wish to compete at any given tournament.  

Poomse Classes

The Poomse classes are for members who either wish to compete at a tournament or wish to gain advancement for their grading. Attendance is optional and the class is open to all members except Little Ninjas.

Only people attending this class may compete at tournaments although exceptions can be made in exceptional circumstances ie: If it is impossible for you to make the class and you have a high enough skill level to compete. 

Eligibility to participate at tournaments is not an automatic process. You must be selected by the Poomse instructor in order to compete.

Dragon's will receive a "Team Dragons" badge to be sewn onto their dobok once they have competed at a tournament.

 Refer a friend program

  $1000 cash will be given away at the Trophy Presentation / End of Year Function in November to one lucky Team Taekwondo Member.

For every Team Member that refers a friend to the club, a ticket will be allocated in their name to go into the draw for $1000 cash.

Conditions Apply:

The member that has been referred must join Team Taekwondo.

The "refer a friend programme" does not include immediate family members such as mums, dads, life partners, brothers or sisters, although we will recognise family members such as cousins, uncles, aunties, nieces' and nephews.

Grading Requirements

Team Taekwondo gradings are held 4 times a year, toward the end of each school term.

To be eligible to grade members must first collect all of their relevant coloured stripes pertaining to the skills they have acquired.

Prior to the grading, the grading advice will be made available on the website. This grading advice must be followed correctly including handing in all relevant and completed material, along with the payment, by the due date. No grading applications can be accepted after the due date.

Applicants will be tested on the verbal terminology at the time of handing in their completed grading application. The written terminology requirements need not be completed for applicants 6 years and under.

Little Ninjas:

Little Ninjas, although having stripes awarded to them during the term, do not grade. When a Little Ninja consistently shows a maturity for grading throughout the term, they will be offered a position in the white belt junior class and grade from that class.
