TKD for Kids

Student Eligibility

Each and every student must be evaluated before enrollment consideration. This evaluation takes into consideration a number of factors before establishing eligibility. The student’s attention skills, listening skills, and enthusiasm are taken into consideration. In addition, parental enthusiasm and support are also considered. It is important to note, that martial arts training is a personal development program that teaches life-skill development. Therefore, it is not for everyone. Students or parents looking for a playground type activity or no structured program need not apply. Only serious students will be considered.

Class Schedules

We recommend that students attend classes two to three classes a week. This schedule creates a repetition pattern that helps students advance along our core curriculum at a comfortable pace. Class times are 40-45 minutes in length. In addition, private tutoring is available for students who miss class time or who need extra help.

Program Benefits

Students learn a number of benefits in our program. Discipline, self confidence, self esteem, and improved academic standing are just a few of the many benefits students achieve. In addition, other benefits are accomplished through our training they include;

Role Model Development

Students in our program develop social skills with other students who are interested in achieving the same goals. Since parents are concerned about role models, you can be assured that all students here at So's Taekwondo School are encouraged and supported by their parents as well. During the course of your child’s study here, you will meet them and feel comfortable regarding your child’s social interaction with other students. In addition, our instructors here at So's Taekwondo School maintain a strict code of ethics and display exemplary behavior themselves.

Academic Development

Student’s academic progress is closely monitored here at So's Taekwondo School. Students are required to turn in a copy of their report card to the head instructor. We work closely with all school systems and parents in an effort to help students achieve better grades. In addition, we are proud to have our own honor roll for the Students. Students who achieve honor roll status with us are rewarded through various incentive programs offered by the school.

Personal Development

By placing students in the right environment, their true learning potential can be realized. Our belt promotion curriculum combines goal orientation with other learning dynamics to help develop their character. We know that students who feel good about themselves lead healthier, happier lives. This process happens repeatedly through belt promotions and recognition.

Character Development

Our students learn values and attributes related to strong moral character. Qualities make up character. Our students learn discipline, courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self control, and indomitable spirit. These are the five tenets of Tae Kwon Do. We focus on the development of these qualities repetitively. Without question, students must learn these fundamental qualities early on in life in order to develop strong values. A well rounded child will ultimately have development in all of these areas.

Physical Development

Physical Development is a critical component to the development of any child. Martial Arts is an activity which also enhances physical development. Strength, coordination, flexibility, and balance are just a few of the benefits they will receive. Most important of which is the art of self defense, in which the student will become confident of their own physical ability. This will make him/her an unlikely target for aggressive or “bully” type children. It is very important that a child feel secure with their own natural survival instincts.

Children with Learning Challenges

Behavioral specialists, as well as child psychologists all agree that Martial Arts programs help the development of children with ADD or ADHD as well as other discipline challenges. Because children are required to pay close attention to the program in order to comprehend, these various learning challenges are met head on by ongoing training. Students who have these challenges perform extremely well because of the learning environment. The reason for this is the personalized attention.

Parental Involvement

As a parent considering this program, the key element is your motivation. Unfortunately, children at a young age do not know what is good for them. It is the parent’s responsibility to seek and find the right type of developmental programs for their children. Martial arts training provides the edge in many areas of a child’s development. You as a parent, will get to see what we do for your child right in front of your eyes. We believe that your effort and our effort together create a winning combination.

The Next Step

The next step is to arrange for an evaluation for the child. Contact the Program Director or make an appointment. Remember, we require both parents there for evaluation (in the case of a single parent, the custodial parent.)

How Do I Know My Child Is Ready?

We will be able to determine the child’s eligibility through our evaluation process. Keep in mind 90% of their success will be related to your support and determination about the program. What is important to you will become important to the child.
