FREE  INTRODUCTORY  EVALUATION  LESSON

    Acceptance for enrollment at the Kang Do Won is conditional upon available openings on class rosters and a satisfactory evaluation during one of the following two Introductory Options. Only one of these options may be chosen before formal enrollment.

OPTION #1 - A prospective student may make an appointment to participate in one Free Introductory Lesson. A $25.00 commitment deposit is required to book the appointment and is refunded upon attendance.
 
OPTION #2 - A prospective student may purchase the $49.99 Special Introductory Package which includes a uniform and four (4) weeks of training (a savings of $115.00). This is a probationary enrollment.

   During both of these Introductory Options the prospective student is evaluated for the following two reasons... 1) to indicate whether or not that person has the potential to become a good student and derive benefit from the education and training, based on the key factors listed below... and 2) should any exist, to discuss the prospective student's medical concerns and whether or not they would have a negative impact upon his/her health and safety. The key factors evaluated for adults are personality, attitude and politeness. For children the key factors are attention span, comprehension ability and maturity, which are evaluated relative to the respective child's age. The candidate's physical/athletic abilities, or lack of, are irrelevant to the evaluation. The approximate minimum age requirement at the Kang Do Won is four years of age and there is no maximum.
