Why do we offer martial arts classes for pre-schoolers?

Warrior Taekwon-Do offers Taekwon-Do classes for kids as young as 3 years old because our quality pre-schooler programs are designed with pre-schoolers and their life and developmental stage in mind. Participating in fun exercise helps kids to stay in good health and build good habits for the future.

Sessions involve a wide range of activities, skills and topics which help kids to develop their confidence and self-esteem, physical and mental skills, fitness, motor skills and discipline and learn to stay safe and navigate difficult situations.

Classes are varied each session and include fitness, pad work, games, interactive play, Taekwon-Do skills and child-relevant self defence. They are also a lot of fun!

Kids develop:

• Attention span

• Discipline
  
• Concentration
• Co-ordination
  
• Fitness
  
• Listening Skills
• Memory
• Respect
• Teamwork
• Self defence
  

These are all important skills to develop as kids prepare for school. 

We also teach pre-schoolers how to stay safe through drills and activities that cover:

• Stranger awareness

• Dealing with bullying
• Unsafe secrets
• Peer pressure
• Road safety
• and more.
  

There are also opportunities to earn certificates, badges and belt stripes which encourages goal setting and rewards a child’s effort, attitude and progress.

Taekwon-Do has strong values which we teach all of our members.  The tenets of Taekwon-Do are:

• Courtesy – being polite

• Integrity – being honest
• Perseverance – not giving up when things get hard

• Self control – being in control of your self
• Indomitable spirit – doing the right thing even when it is hard
  

We believe these values are good not just for Taekwon-Do, but also for life.

Our pre-schooler classes are taken by qualified and experienced pre-school instructor, Jacky Geurts (1st degree black belt). Jacky loves teaching kids and is an experienced children’s educator across a range of disciplines including drama, theatre, acrobatics and of course – Taekwon-Do! She is a certified Taekwon-Do instructor, TKD Kubz instructor, Kiwi Sport instructor and has a current first aid certificate.
