We train students in Taekwondo and group them together according to their age and martial arts experience, not ability. Those who quickly master their skills progress to the next belt level; whereas students who need more time or adaptive equipment, receive the necessary attention required to master their skills. Students have the option to take classes two times a week and one weekly sparring class, or one class a week and one weekly sparring class. Belt testing will be held every two months. Sanctioned USA Tournaments will also be offered and are recommended for students.

To ensure a successful experience for all students at Break the Barriers, a student may be transferred to a class that is more beneficial to them at the discretion of the Director.
