UNIFORMS
|
Uniforms are not required for new beginners during the early weeks of training. However, in order to test, all students are required to have an official Mission Martial Arts uniform.
Student uniforms are available for purchase any time at the Mission Gym location, and by scheduled try-on at our branch locations.
During the warmer months, a uniform t-shirt is available for purchase to wear as the uniform top to class. Full uniforms (not t-shirts) are required for all rank testing events. There are certain rules regarding proper dress for martial arts training. Be sure to check out the Uniform Rules, a quick video on How to Tie a Taekwondo Belt, and other useful resources on our Student Handbook page. |

At the end of every 2 month training session we offer optional rank testing events. At these events, students who are fully prepared to test have the opportunity to earn their next belt.
Minimum Requirements:
All testing takes place at the main school (Mission Gym) located in Middletown. Be sure to mark our scheduled Rank Test dates on your personal calendar. Taekwondo students are allowed only 1 pre-approved make-up test. Past certain ranks, no make up tests are available. There are no make-up tests for Tiny Tigers. See your instructor for more details. A full uniform is required for testing. Testing Fees
Test dates are on our calendar, always up to date and available at missionmartialarts.net/calendar. Test applications can be submitted online at missionmartialarts.net/test. Check the calendar for application deadlines. Dates will also be shared in regular email communications. |
Life Skills Curriculum
Mission Martial Arts is passionate about teaching valuable life skills along with practical martial arts skills.
One way we do this is with our Golden Words program. Each month our junior students (ages 12 and under) have an opportunity to earn a gold stripe on their belt by showing they have demonstrated our Golden Word in class and at home.
Look for a new Golden Words card in class each month.

EXTRA CLASSES
|
FREE ADD-ON
All Taekwondo* students registered in a regular weekly class at either the Mission Gym or Hurstbourne locations are allowed 1 FREE extra class each calendar month. The extra class can be used as a make-up or for additional training. Look for classes with the 'add-on" label on the calendar to see your options. |
EXTRA ADD-ONs
Add-on classes are a quick, affordable way to add on single classes for a make-up or just some extra training. Look for classes with the 'add-on' label on the calendar to see the options. |
SUPER SATURDAYS
Super Saturday events are monthly activities with reserved space, each supporting a fun theme and offering 3-4 hours of group training. These events fill up quickly. Registration is quick and easy. Select 'SuperSaturday' from the Events tab. |
*Tiny Tigers do not have official make-up classes. Occasionally a pre-planned make-up will be offered due to school closures.
