KIDS can benefit from traditional TKD classes in many ways:

  • Valuable self-defense skills to keep them safe
  • Learning when it is right to use physical self-defense and when it is not right
  • Great traditional values like discipline, respect, value for tradition, to lead others, to be helpful without having to be asked, the list goes on and on.

Kids BENEFIT in many ways, but they love coming to class because it's FUN.

ADULTS come to train in martial arts for many reasons: self-defense, fitness, flexibility, finishing a goal you set for yourself long ago...any reason is a good one.

FAMILIES

The family that kicks together sticks together.

When kids and their parents are in class together it brings them closer. Many kids are amazed to see their parents in a situation where they don't already know everything. They love learning with their parents and sharing a common interest. I have also seen adults grow to appreciate their kids' courage and unique strengths in new ways.

People of all ages bring something special to the classes: kids bring their humor and sense of play, teens bring physical agility and emerging philosophical understanding, adults bring life experience, great questions and serious focus.
