Children and Tae Kwon Do
Our specially designed programme teaches children core values such as discipline and respect, both for themselves and others. By starting at an early age, they will develop positive habits to last a lifetime. Our system of training is based on inner development and self-expression; the emphasis on concentration, goal setting and self control sets Tae Kwon Do apart from other disciplines.
In Tae Kwon Do children stretch and exercise nearly every muscle group in their bodies, this aspect alone distinguishes the sport from most others. Motor skill development, co-ordination, flexibility and self-awareness are the basics of the physical training. We believe in bringing out the best in children and have designed our classes to be entertaining and informative.
The benefits of Tae Kwon Do
Confidence Children who acquire self confidence at an early age are far more likely to succeed in their adult ambitions. Tae Kwon Do is an ideal way of instilling confidence in children, at the same time emphasising the importance of respect and discipline.
Fitness The government has recently expressed concern about lack of exercise and consequent increases in levels of childhood obesity. Participation in Tae Kwon Do offers an ideal opportunity for improving fitness and physical activity.
Self Defence In these days of increasing violence and bullying, Tae Kwon Do offers children an opportunity for learning about self defence and protecting themselves.
Respect Respect, courtesy and self discipline are part of everyday lessons in our martial art.
Achievement Lessons are structured towards the progressive achievement of a series of coloured belts, giving children a clear system of goals. Fun Above all, classes are designed to be enjoyable and make learning fun.
