For the purpose of purchasing family pool passes, or receiving a family discount for the Tae Kwon Do program, a family is defined as all immediate family members residing at the same street address. This would include children of divorced parents who have joint custody, stepchildren, and foster children. Babysitters, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and ex-spouses are not considered immediate family members unless they appear on the same federal income tax return.

Typo, Errors, (oops) We Goofed From time-to time, there may be a change in times or days from printing dates to the actual activity date or an error in days, times, fees, etc., in the brochure. If so, the staff will take every step to correct the situation in a timely and efficient manner. Thank you for your patience and understanding should these situations arises.

Resident/Non-Resident Policy A resident is any person who lives within the city limits of Norwalk.

This is not to be confused with the school district. City and School District boundaries are not the same. Even though your mailing address is Norwalk, this does not necessarily mean you are a city resident. See the map for boundaries. Most programs/classes have different fees for residents and nonresidents.

City of Norwalk residents make a significant contribution to the financing and operation of the Norwalk Parks and Recreation Department through city property taxes. These taxes are paid whether or not individuals participate in programs or use facilities.

To ensure equality, non-residents (those living outside the Norwalk city limits) will be charged a non-resident fee in addition to the program or facility fee.

Norwalk Family Taekwondo Maria Boden is the new head instructor of the school which is under new ownership, and offers programs for ages 5 through adults. The classes are separated by rank (beginners and advanced) and students meet twice a week. Class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays, at Oviatt gym (6pm start) or Multi-purpose room (7pm start). Times will vary depending on location due to school activities.

We also offer our Little Dragon program designed for children ages 5 to 7. Little Dragons meet twice a week. This program is run concurrently with the beginning class.

All programs consist of hand and foot techniques, forms, selfdefense, and 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.
