The program is designed to give the children a mild introduction to the martial arts, self-discipline, and respect while building confidence and an “I can do” attitude.  Children will work on coordination, balance, and simple self defense techniques.  Emphasis will be put on physical fitness and mental focus using various drills and games. 

Classes will consist of basic Tae Kwon Do techniques and forms.  Emphasis is placed on the martial arts learned not to be used to bully or intimidate, but for self defense only.
