Question 1

How much does your program cost?

Accepted Answer

We are all about transparency at Trinity Martial Arts!  Our goal is to run an honest business, never trapping anyone in a program or charging excessive fees.  We truly believe we have the best program in the area for the best price and do not feel the need to hide our pricing.

Our Little Ninjas program is $130, and our Kids and Adult Martial Arts Programs are $160.  All programs include unlimited training (meaning you can come as much as you'd like, whenever you'd like), no contracts, no registration fees, and no color belt testing fees.

We also offer family discounts if more than one family member is enrolled.   All programs are set up under a 12-month billing agreement.  That being said, we understand that life happens, so the agreement can be canceled at any time, for any reason, with no fee or long-term notice given.   You are never locked into a contract!

Question 2

At what age can my child begin training?

Accepted Answer

At Trinity Martial Arts, children can start training at age three in our Little Ninjas Program.  This program is created with little ones in mind, focusing on learning Karate basics, character development, and gaining listening skills.

We also have a great children's martial arts program for students ages five through twelve, and a teen and adult program for students age thirteen and beyond!

Question 3

​Are your instructors certified?

Accepted Answer

All of our instructors are trained and certified under an overseeing Tang Soo Do association that helps ensure we are teaching the highest level of quality martial arts in our classes.  Our instructors meet quarterly for staff trainings to ensure we are providing the highest level of instruction, precaution, and care from instructor to student.  We also conduct background checks on every staff member.

Question 4

What style of Martial Arts do you teach?

Accepted Answer

At Trinity Martial Arts, we pride ourselves on being a perfect blend of sport karate, traditional martial arts, and practical self-defense. That being said, our approach to teaching these subjects is rooted in Tang Soo Do, a traditional Korean style.

Question 5

How do you ensure the safety of your students?

Accepted Answer

Safety is our #1 priority!  We can't run a successful Tang Soo Do school without the trust of our parents and the safety of our students.

At Trinity, all of our instructors and office staff are background checked and cleared.  We have cameras throughout our studio, recording all activity in case something needs to be reviewed or checked in on.  Our safety policy does not allow any instructor to be left alone with a child...even for a private lesson.  Finally, we encourage and love for parents to stay and watch their child in class, with ample seating and a wide-open viewing area.

Question 6

Do you compete in tournaments?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!  While our focus is not on high-stakes, international competition, Trinity is connected with many tournament hosts across the tri-state area.  We are constantly vetting new tournament opportunities for our students to make sure we are supporting competition that is fair and friendly.  In addition to attending competitions, Trinity Martial Arts hosts its own large invitational tournament every year.

Question 7

How often should my child be training?​

Accepted Answer

While all our program options allow for unlimited training and classes are offered 6 days a week, we recommend that students attend class at least 2-3x per week to make steady progress toward their goals.  That being said, we do understand that every family's schedule is a little different, and have many students who attend only 1-2x per week.  On the other hand, we have many students who are training 5-6x a week.  We welcome all of these students and their families and do our best to tailor their training to fit their attendance.

Question 8

What if my child or I have no martial arts experience?

Accepted Answer

No worries!  Everyone was a beginner at some point!  We welcome students of any age, experience level, and ability.  Our instructors are trained to work with every student to meet their goals and needs.

Question 9

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

Located in Hopewell Junction in the Heritage Square Plaza, we are conveniently right off of the Taconic, making martial arts training accessible for our families in Hopewell, Lagrange, East Fishkill, Beekman, Pleasant Valley, Fishkill, Poughquag, Wappingers Falls, Beacon, and even Newburgh.
