NORWALK FAMILY TAE KWON DO
Michael Wagenknecht is the head instructor of the
school and offers programs for ages five through adults.
The classes are separated by rank (beginners and ad-
vanced) and students meet twice a week. Class meets
Tuesdays and Thursdays, at Oviatt Elementary. Begin-
ners meet from 6:00-6:45 p.m. and advanced students
meet from 6:45 to 7:30 p.m.
We also offer a Little Dragon program designed for
children ages five to seven. Little Dragons meet twice a
week. This program is run concurrently with the begin-
ning class. Maximum number of students in the Little
Dragon program is 20, so register early.
All programs consist of hand and foot techniques,
forms, self-defense, lessons and instructions on topics
such as respect, self-discipline and perseverance.
Competition is also available for those students who
are interested. Competition teaches sportsmanship,
gives confidence and allows the students to use the skills
they have learned in class.
Families are strongly encouraged to join and train
together. We found that the kids learn better when one
or both of their parents/guardians are learning along-
side of them in class. For more information, see
www.NorwalkTKD.com. Cost per session: Little Drag-
ons (twice a week): Norwalk resident, $46; Non-resi-
dent, $53; Family Tae Kwon Do (ages 8 and above), First
family member: Norwalk resident, $57.50, Non-resident,
$66.25; Second and third family members: Norwalk resi-
dent, $28.75 each, Non-resident, $33.25 each; Maximum
family fee: Norwalk resident, $115; Non-resident,
$132.25. Cost of testing for belts and competition is ex-
tra.
