Does your young child
They struggle to maintain control of their movements and may be unintentionally destructive.
They find it difficult to focus on a task or to see it through to the end.
They have a hard time sharing their belongings and getting along with other kids.
Parenting young children is a real challenge.
You must balance their natural inquisitiveness and high energy with trying to teach them the basic skills they need for school and life.
Discipline, sharing, and self-control are all things they need to learn to be successful.
The ideal setting is one that’s got some structure but works with kids at their current developmental level. If they have fun while they’re learning, they’ll be more likely to retain those lessons and learn the skills they need.
Results and growth with every class!
Studying martial arts is ideal for young children. It provides them with an outlet for their energy. But, it also teaches them about respect, discipline, and other core values that will go with them beyond the dojo. Junior martial arts classes teach kids to control their movements and behavior, and they’ll learn social skills and interaction at the same time.
Studying Martial Arts Builds Physical Coordination and Control
Young children who learn martial arts find out quickly that each movement must be intentional. They learn to control their movements to the best of their ability.
They also practice hand-eye coordination and learn about their bodies. That means they’ll be less likely to be unintentionally destructive.
Young Martial Arts Students Learn How to Focus
Getting young kids to pay attention can feel like an impossible task. The structure of our martial arts classes shows kids the importance of focus and teaches them by having them apply it to easily-achievable tasks.
The focus they learn in the dojo is something they’ll take home – and into the classroom. That’s why kids who study martial arts tend to be good students, too.
Martial Arts Helps Kids Learn to Deal with Frustration
Martial arts instruction requires students to pursue goals to earn new belts. Young kids can easily become frustrated when they don’t get what they want, but studying martial arts helps them learn the power of persistence.
The physical activity in our classes also helps kids manage stress and anxiety by allowing them to burn it off in a safe and constructive way.
Kids Who Study Martial Arts Learn Good Sportsmanship
Losing is not anybody’s idea of fun, but we all need to learn how to accept a defeat gracefully and move on. We teach students that losing is part of life – and it’s what you do after you lose that tells people who you are.
Even though martial arts is an individual sport, we cultivate an environment of supportive teamwork where students root for one another.
First off, I would like you to know Taekwondo Works is a 5 plus, there is no doubt in my mind of that. I feel it is truly a privilege to have my children to be able to participate in this program for after-school and summer camp.
I have three boys that have all attended Taekwondo Works for the last few years and it was the best decision I have ever made for my children. I did a lot of research and read the bios of the instructors on their website prior to enrolling them and everything they say they will do for your child is the truth. They all are nationally ranked instructors and have the credentials needed to ensure our children get what they need physically and mentally. My children’s doctors always say “you are so strong and all muscle” what do you do? The response is always first I do taekwondo, wrestle and run a mile every day. The doctor is like WOW, says keep up what you are doing, eat what you are eating and keep that smile. A boost of confidence for sure.
We love taking our son here!! He has been working on his belt ranks for the past 2 years. It takes time and consistency, not just getting the children to black belt as soon as possible. Every child is different and they take their time to make sure they achieve their goals at their speed. The staff is fantastic, friendly and truly take care of the kids. This place is so much more than "just Taekwando" they have after school daycare program! Oh and they even have classes for 40+!
I love the patience and dedication that is given to the students here. I have seen such a big difference in my son’s confidence, as well as skills in only a months time. You can really tell the owner and instructors love what they do when they are teaching their classes. I would recommend this place to anyone!!!
Cannot recommend this highly enough. They are committed to helping each child in their own unique way. They are throughly invested in teaching each child how to succeed and become confident. They also teach their older and more advanced students that it is now their turn to help the younger students. Could not ask for a more amazing studio or people to entrust our children to!
