Kids Progressive TaeKwon-Do
In our kids TaeKwon-Do classes your child will get the most qualified & experienced instruction available in a safe & fun environment. Our kids TaeKwon-Do programme is open to children between 8 & 13 years of age.
The main thing that separates our kids classes from most of the other classes available is our emphasis on addressing positive life skills in every lesson. We work hard to instil the Tenets of TaeKwon-Do in our Juniors- Courtesy, Integrity, Persevearance, Self Control & Indomitable Spirit- in a way that they can understand.
Where some 'other' local TaeKwon-Do classes are happy to take children from 4 years old through to adults of 40, we split all our classes up into age specific groups. 4 - 8 year olds go in a special programme called Little Ninjas, simply because most children of this age are quite honestly just simply too young for TaeKwon-Do. At that age their nervous system hasn't developed enough to be able to perform the techniques properly, & they just don't get the best out of it & very often get board & drift away from it. Any instructor who has young children of that age doing TaeKwon-Do is quite simply just a belt factory! Adults should in our view NOT be in with children. Firstly, children need to be taught in a different manner to adults. Secondly adults & kids need to be taught slightly different methods for them both to get the most out of training. Third, though the instructor MAY have an enhanced disclosure the other adults training in the class don't- do you really know the adult next to your child isn't a sex offender? In our Junior TaeKwon-Do class your child doesn't just kick a football around for half an hour, & then do a few patterns or a bit of sparring & get graded whether they are ready or not. In our class your child gets good fitness training, a variety of skill building games & sometimes even CardioKickboxing. They get trained in TaeKwon-Do, but also learn elements of other martial arts so they are a well rounded & knowledgable martial artist. They get REAL training in personal safety & self defence by one of the worlds leading experts. They get anti bullying training & learn how to avoid becoming a victim to bullies. NOWHERE ELSE offers so much to their students in the normal class.
Of course there is also the fact that rather than being in some church hall, or even a council sports centre, your child will be training in a fully equipped martial arts centre with access to punchbags, pads & all the equipment that will help your child to excel in their training.
Your childs instructor was THE FIRST TaeKwon-Do blackbelt produced in Angus. He has taught TaeKwon-Do in Angus since 1987, & is one of the most widely qualified instructors in the UK. Mark Davies is the LOCAL instructor of TaeKwon-Do in Arbroath. He has been featured on GMTV, Reporting Scotland, North Tonight & several radio stations; & offers the HIGHEST STANDARD of tuition.
TaeKwon-Do is a very exciting Martial Art, which will develop excellent motor skills & mental focus in your child.
We do not just teach children kicking & punching! We try to develop well rounded individuals who recognise the importance of education in their lives, & who will resist negative influences more easily. Mark is the sole regional instructor for the 'Winning Without Fighting' anti bullying system, & 'Esteem Team' self esteem course. Our students get taught skillsfrom both of these courses in their normal training.
The grading system in our TaeKwon-Do teaches your child to set & attain goals, & shows them that there is a reward for hard work & study. Students grade on average every 3 - 4 months.
All in all, your child will have a great time, & at the same time will be learning skills & attributes that no other class can give them.
