Etiquette
Etiquette is an essential spirit in Taekwon-Do training. Although the tenets of
Taekwon-do and the Student Oath form the basis of etiquette for the Takeown-do practitioner,
there is much more – it is a code of ethical behavior and respect for our fellow
man. The Takeown-do practitioner should display proper etiquette in and out of the
school. Within the school, students should follow the school rules.

Uniforms and Gear
All students should train in a uniform. Official school uniforms cost as $30. We recommend that
each student purchase two uniforms since we train twice a week.
Southbury Taekwon-do takes safety very seriously
so before any student can spare, they must put on protective gear such as gloves and a helmet. We strongly recommend students purchase
gear for their personal use.
All students should have a uniform, mouth guard, head gear, gloves, foot pads, and male students should
have groin protection. Chest and shin protection is optional.
