Childrens Program (Ages 4 and Up)
Taekwondo Makes Children Smarter
Studies have shown that when children participate in physical activities such as Taekwondo at a young age, they tend to perform better in school than those who do not. The students who are physically active have higher IQs, perform better in social environments, receive better school grades, and have greater self esteem
Fun and Exciting Learning Activities
Our children's program is designed to improve your child's fitness, teach them self defense, build self-discipline, learn self-control, increase self-confidence, and develop a proper sense of values and personality. Our exceptionally qualified and energetic instructors make getting in shape fun and exciting, and your child will look forward to coming to class.
Self-Discipline and Self-Esteem for Your Child
Taekwondo emphasizes moral development. Children learn respect for themselves and others, heighten concentration, and increase self-discipline and self-restraint. The self-discipline that develops as a result of learning and practicing Taekwondo carries over into other areas of the child's life. School grades often improve as your child learns to focus on objectives and work toward achievment. The self-discipline and self-respect which Taekwondo develops can provide your child with the skills and mindset necessary to resist peer pressure.
Family Program
Bring Family Closer Together
Our family program provides a great opportunity for a family to spend quality time together while learning new skills and getting in shape. Training side by side, helping each other practice and learn new techniques, and sharing goals, makes family members naturally closer.
Family Fitness
These days, children spend more time indoors watching television, playing video games, and going online using computers. As you hear often, the lack of activity in children today results in child obesity problems. As a concerned parent, you always worry about your child's health and try to make your children more involved in physical activites. Taekwondo provides excellent exercises for both children and adults to get in shape. Taekwondo combines the best of many different physical activites. As a parent, you can set an example for your children about the importance of regular exercise by learning Taekwondo together.
