ITF TAEKWONDO
Taekwondo is a modern Martial Art, founded in Korea in 1955 by General Choi Hong Hi.

Kids taekwondo
Taekwon-Do Kids is a modern program which has been developed by the ITF over the last 6 years to specifically benefit children as young as 3. As a family friendly martial art, Taekwon-Do has been widely recognised for the advantages it brings in terms of child development and behavioural improvement. This program has been especially designed to be interactive and engaging with the little ones and consists of teachings that go far beyond the art of defence and can instil qualities and skills that can easily benefit as they grow older.
It’s an ideal activity for children as it utilises the whole body and incorporates natural movement. Children will learn how to perceive and recognise potential threats that are all too common in today’s world and are taught how to deal with them appropriately. The TKD Program extends beyond self-defence to encompass the teaching of self-protection, important life skills and character education. Every parent’s paramount concern is their children’s safety, so we include safety orientated lessons that focus on topics such as dealing with bullies and strangers.
