Looking into a TKD School

[armanox]

There's a TKD school that I'm looking into near where I go to college. I was wondering what kind of stuff I should look for in a TKD school to judge them. Any advice?

It depends really on what you want to get out of your training. Most likely they will do some kicking, and some stretching. If they are sport oriented, you will get to do a lot of target drills and timing drills to improve the sparring side. A more traditional school may focus on forms and one-steps.

Meet with the instructor, and ask him some questions relating to these matters.

Personally, I have enjoyed my time in TKD, and I think you will, too, if the school is good.

I agree with Mr bushido and also would like to add one thing.

Black Belts, take a good, long-hard, look at them. This can tell you pretty much everything about a particular school (imo).

I agree with this. Also, make sure you can attend a class that has predominantly mid to older teens and adults. Try to avoid classes where the adults are training with young children.
