Programs Offered at Swan Hills Tae Kwon Do Club	Schedule
We offer four programs: The formal program will be tested by our club's senior instructor, Mr. John Hestermann. This testing progression will enable students to progress through the color belts and on through the ranks of black belts. It will also allow you to compete in any of the martial art tournaments which are held throughout the year. This program is highly recommended for all students.
The informal program has been developed for those individuals who are joining Tae Kwon Do just for the skills, exercise and really have no desire to advance to become a black belt, or compete. The test will be done in an informal, relaxed setting by the club's instructor (no pressure). You will be recognized at our club for your rank, but will not be able to compete in tournaments.
The Martial Arts Workout has been developed for people who just want to get into shape. It has been set up so ALL fitness levels can join in and not feel uncomfortable. We work on helping people regain their flexibility, build stamina and strength. By doing this you can't help but lose weight and feel good about yourself. This is a workout class and is kept very informal.
We also train in the ways of other martial arts. Some of these are the ITF variations of Tae Kwon Do, other styles of self defense, and now and again we will train with weapons (adult students only). We are of the belief that the more styles and techniques we can learn. over and above Tae Kwon Do, the better martial artist we become.
