Frequently Asked
Questions

Does Morrissette Martial Arts accept ESA funds?

What age can my child start martial arts?

Children can start as young as 3.5 years old in our Little Ninjas program. From there, students progress into Kids Taekwondo, then Teen & Adult classes as they grow.

What’s the difference between Taekwondo and Hapkido?
