Vu’s Martial Arts FAQ
Straight answers.
What families and new students ask most often before stepping onto the floor.
How are classes divided by rank?
There are separate beginner, intermediate and advanced classes, one deputy-belt class, and a class reserved for black belts. Master Vu assesses each group and chooses the instruction they need at that point.
Who teaches the classes?
Master Vu teaches most classes. If he cannot teach, a trusted instructor steps in — either someone he trained or someone he has known for years and trusts to lead safely.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. Choose month-to-month with 30 days’ notice to cancel, or pay six months in full for a discount. The paid-in-full option is non-refundable.
Does VMA compete in tournaments?
Yes. The school competes regionally, nationally and internationally. The team recently returned from the European Open and is preparing for its next international tournament in 2027. Competition is optional.
How long does it take to earn a black belt?
Promotion is based on readiness and consistent training. Reaching black belt typically takes 3½ to 4 years.
How often do students test?
Testing runs on a 6–8 week cycle. Students test when Master Vu determines they are ready.
How many classes a week should I take?
Taekwondo students may attend up to three classes weekly, with two required at minimum. Wing Chun meets two days per week.
Is Vu’s Martial Arts a Christian school?
Master Vu is a Christian, and his faith in Christ shapes how he teaches: respect, humility, discipline and service come first, the sport second. Students of every background are welcome.
If I trained at another school, where do I start?
Schedule an evaluation with Master Vu. He will assess your skill and experience, then determine where you fit in the school’s class structure.
