Our school starts children as young as five years old and recommend once per week until the student becomes old enough to handle more classes. Students that are seven years and older should be training two or more times per week.

We hold tests on a quarterly basis: March, June, September, and December. Students are only sent to test if they have learned the requisite material and have progressed in skill. Younger students may require more time before qualifying; the testing curriculum is the same for all ages. In most cases, the typical testing cycle for students is two or three times per year and every six to nine months at red belt.

A majority of the class time is spent on teaching or reinforcing the techniques that each student is responsible for, not games or horseplay. Our goal is to develop physical strength, confidence, and courage in all of our students.

AmKor Karate is not a franchise, our instructors have trained under the founder for decades before being allowed to open an AmKor school. There are no contracts, gimmicks, or pay-to-join clubs. Our schools are internationally recognized as strong competitors and expert authorities in Tang Soo Do. Dues are only required for monthly tuition and grading tests, there are no hidden fees.
