There is no upper age limit—we welcome kids, teens, and adults of all ages. For our general classes in Casino, Lismore, and Coraki, we find children around 5 years and older are usually ready to follow instructions and enjoy the session. If you have a younger child, our Coraki branch runs a dedicated Kids Starter class specifically tailored for 4 to 7-year-olds. Feel free to chat with the instructor if you're unsure whether your child is ready. 

Most clubs only offer a single free lesson before asking you to sign up. With our unlimited free trial, you or your children can attend as many classes as you need to be 100% sure Rhee Taekwondo is the right fit. Most people feel ready to join after one or two sessions, but there is never any pressure—when you're ready, just let the instructor know and we'll walk you through it. 

No booking is needed. You are always welcome to just turn up at your local Casino, Coraki, or Lismore hall on a training night. If you'd like to let us know you're coming or ask a few questions beforehand, you can send through a quick trial form or give us a call—otherwise, simply arrive about 15 minutes before class starts to say hello to the instructor. 

Yes, we are a registered NSW Active Kids provider.

Yes, we ask all trial students (or a parent/guardian) to complete a quick registration and insurance waiver before stepping onto the floor. Don't let the paperwork worry you—our classes are strictly controlled and supervised closely by experienced instructors to keep everyone safe. 

Nothing to get started—you get an unlimited, no-obligation free trial across our training centres so you or your child can experience Rhee Taekwondo before deciding. Once you decide to join, we keep things simple with a single training fee and no lock-in contracts. We also offer family discounts when multiple household members train together, and all belt gradings right up to Black Belt are included in your monthly fee. 

Yes, official members wear the traditional white Rhee Taekwondo uniform (dobok). However, there is zero rush to buy one when you start—just wear loose, comfortable clothes like a t-shirt and trackpants or shorts for your free trial classes, and your instructor will help sort out a uniform once you decide to join. 

We encourage students to train twice a week if they can, as regular practice helps build muscle memory, fitness, and confidence faster. That said, we know family schedules get busy—attending at least once a week is plenty to make steady progress at your own pace. 

Absolutely. Your membership covers training at any of our Northern Rivers dojangs—so if you normally train in Casino and miss a night, you're welcome to jump into a session in Coraki or Lismore at no extra cost. Better yet, because Rhee Taekwondo has centres right across Australia, you can keep training wherever you travel or if you ever move interstate. 

Safety is always our top priority. Every session is structured, controlled, and closely supervised by qualified instructors who hold NSW Working With Children Checks. Beginners are eased into techniques gradually at their own fitness level, keeping the risk of injury very low. 

No. Rhee Taekwondo is a traditional, non-competitive martial art—we do not enter tournaments, fight for trophies, or encourage ego on the floor. While students practise controlled sparring to build timing and self-defence skills, everyone progresses at their own pace in a supportive, team-minded environment. 

While Karate originated in Japan and Taekwondo originated in Korea, both are traditional stand-up martial arts focused on discipline, respect, and self-defence. Rhee Taekwondo is well known for its dynamic kicking, hand techniques, fitness, and strictly non-competitive family environment making it a great fit for anyone looking for martial arts or karate-style classes in Casino, Lismore, or Coraki.
