The Imperial Dragon Difference!

Aside from the fact the Imperial Dragon Tang Soo Do is THE ONLY karate school Macaroni Kid will recommend because all three of our families are thrilled with our experience! Here is a guideline to help you choose the best school for your little dragon!

Questions you should ask before you start with any karate school!

Certified Instructors? Are classes taught by an adult Black Belt who has specific training in the correct teaching methodologies to optimize learning?

Other schools: NO.Many do not have a formal training program for instructors.

IDTSD: YES! All classes are taught by Adult Black Belt Instructors who have completed one year of instructor training plus at least 4 years of martial arts training.

Free Enrollment? Is there an enrollment or start up fee?

Other schools: No.In addition to a monthly tuition payment, most schools require an upfront “enrollment” fee.

IDTSD: YES! There is no start up fee to begin training at this studio.

No Long Term Contract?Are students required to sign a long term contract to start training?

Other Schools: No. Most schools require students to sign financial contracts which require students to pay even if they stop taking classes.

IDTSD: YES! Our teaching is our contract.We know if you value our teaching you will keep coming back.

No Test Fees? Are there additional fees charged each time the student tests for a new belt?

Other Schools: No. Many schools will charge an additional fee every 3-4 months.This can range in price from $35-$85 each test.

IDTSD: YES! We do not charge an extra fee for testing at our studio.

No Equipment to Start? Are students required to have a uniform and sparring equipment in order to start training?

IDTSD: YES! When the student is ready they may get their uniform and sparring gear.We suggest waiting until the student is fully committed to sticking with it, before making this investment.

Free Trial Program? Are students permitted to try a class for free to see if they are going to like the martial arts and they are comfortable with the instructors?

Other Schools: No. Most schools offer an introductory program that will cost between $30-$50.
