The Grade System
Much like other martial arts, in Taekwon-do belts are used to represent yout grade. The first belt is your white belt- this is your starting point in Taekwon-do. With each new belt comes a new pattern, new floorwork and many other new things to learn. The belt order is as follows: white, yellow tag, yellow, green tag, green, blue tag, blue, red tag, red, black tag and then there are 9 blackbelt degrees.

DOS & DON'TS
Tolley Taekwon-Do Guidelines
1) Arrive 10-15 minutes early to class: We have a lot to prepare for before each and every class. Make sure you arrive early to give yourself enough time to get belts and equipment ready. Or maybe to have a quick chat!
2) No jewellery or beauty accessories during class: These can seriously injure someone. Please make sure to take off everything besides what is required.
3) No fighting or horse-playing during class: The studio is for serious training only.
