Description:	Martial Arts America has been around since 1985 in Central Iowa and now comes to the GCC in Grimes to teach you the disciplines involved in taekwondo. These classes allow families to take part together. They provide a positive atmosphere for everyone to improve their mind and their body. Stop in to watch a class because that is the best way for you to see what they will be doing and learning. The classes are taught so that as new people start they are with a black belt away from the rest of the class, but after a couple times they have learned all of the basics and they join the class. They will do the techniques right along with everyone else. The higher belts are instructed to do much the same techniques but they will add something to it, kick higher or double their techniques. Kids seem to learn better by watching and doing, rather then by listening, so it works quite well. Other Costs- -You do not need a uniform to start but if you plan on sticking with it to test and progress to higher belts, you will need to buy one. They are $49.00 and the instructor will pick it up and bring it to class. -The tests are every two months and the cost for that is $40. -As a yellow belt you will need to purchase sparring gear that runs around $69.00.
