WELCOME TO
TAE PARK TAEKWONDO
at Journey Christian Church
The home of Traditional Taekwondo in Rochester, NY
UPDATE – PLEASE READ FIRST
- Starting 1/1/26 there are major changes to Journey Taekwondo.
- Classes will be completely free.
- Students need to try out for the class.
- In the past, 55% of all students quit at white belt. This is a huge issue when other students truly want to learn and progress, but over 1/2 of the students quit because it’s too hard. This takes a large toll on instructors that are volunteering their time.
- All students will have to go through a try-out in front of the black belt leadership to be selected as a brand new white belt.
- We will only allow 10 new white belts per quarter.
- There will be strict attendance requirements. You will only be allowed to miss 2 classes each session (13 weeks).
- In exchange for a free class, we expect students to be on time every week, in uniform every week, ready to work hard, and willing to clean up after class. Students are also expected to practice hard during the week.
- Students are to show respect to everyone in class. No horsing around. No talking back.
- If it seems a student has lost interest, or is not working to potential, instructors will speak with parents first, and then decide if TKD is right for the student.
- There is only one class/week. Thursday, 6:30 – 8:30. The calendar link is above.
- Journey Taekwondo instructors are all volunteer. We want you to become amazing black belts, but it is not an easy path. We will work you and work with you. We will teach you and demand excellence from you. This journey is both a journey of learning and doing. If this sounds like the kind of Taekwondo you are interested in, then contact me for the next try-out date.
