Our
Children's Tae Kwon Do program is split into three series:
the beginners, the intermediates, and the advanced. After
the completion of the final series the student will earn
the rank of 1st Degree Black Belt- a very high honor and
accomplishment for anyone at any age. Each series requires
successful completion of each level of training. To complete
each level, 5 portions of curriculum have to be mastered.
These 5 portions include the following:
Traditional
material- this includes basic martial art moves,
self-defense, and katas. The material is set up in a
rotating curriculum so that only one of the above is
required to test at each level.
Dynamic
performance- this portion of the curriculum challenges the
student’s skills and abilities in a way that increases their
performance and intensity of their martial arts education.
Out of all of the portions of the curriculum, this portion
was meant to excite the spectators.
Sport
training- this includes the competitive application of their
martial arts training in a controlled manner. This portion
of the training is the most fun for the students, especially
as their skills get better.
Physical
development- it is the most sustainable part of anyone’s
health to maintain physical fitness. The sooner a child
learns the benefits of fitness, the better chance it will
stick with them throughout their adulthood.
Mental
development- a wise martial artist is the best martial
artist. When a student understands the importance of morals
and values, their confidence and attitude shift to a very
positive outlook.
From these 5
portions of the Children's Tae Kwon Do curriculum, we are
capable of establishing and refining physical, social,
emotional, and intellectual excellence. The best part about
this program, besides the many benefits, is that it is
extremely fun. The curriculum is challenging enough not to
be boring, and at the same time is not overly challenging so
students don’t get discouraged.  |
