TOP 5 REASONS TO ENROL YOUR CHILD IN TO OUR TAE KWON-DO “CUBS CLASSES” Physical Fitness Tae Kwon-Do is a very good source of exercise. The children are educated at a very early age that exercise should be a positive enjoyment, not a punishment for bad behaviour. The activities are energetic and exciting which encourages both boys and girls to participate. Regular training will improve cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, balance, strength and overall energy levels. Life Skills The target-setting skills in the syllabus provide attainable goals. Unlike team sports when sometimes children feel if they “under achieve” they are letting the whole team down. Tae Kwon-Do is a physical activity which can provide individual character development. This includes discipline, self-control, patience, respect and good manners, eye contact, public speaking, courage, etc. Gradual interaction within the group improves social and leadership skills. This can progress to joining one of our demonstration teams or perhaps deciding to enter the sport of Tae Kwon-Do - competitions. Acquiring the pattern of success through their experiences in Tae Kwon-Do, at a young age, will help children succeed in their adult ambitions. Our patient Instructors teach, guide and supervise, not forgetting, of course, the best type of learning happens when a lesson in fun! Self-Defence Self defence is the most obvious reason that comes to mind for joining the class. Stranger Danger is a serious subject integrated in to class. While teaching self-defence techniques the emphasis is always about personal responsibility, avoidance tactics and “how and why not to hit”. How ones actions effect others and teaching reasonable force and offering choices when it comes to self-defence. Behaviour Issues Good rules of behaviour in class are enforced and a code of conduct is issued to all student within the first few weeks. Patient, experienced Instructors, together with a structured class is a great aid to improving attention span and listening skills. Tae Kwon-Do is a supplement to a child’s education. The positive re-enforcement in goal setting skills improves behaviour and these accomplishments develop a positive self-image which can lead to academic and athletic success. Children want structure and they crave discipline, making them feel secure in school, in the class room and in public settings. They find this structure and discipline in Tae Kwon-Do training and the ability to discipline themselves. Safe + Social + Out of School Activity If children are going to practice “what they see on television” then why not let them be guided by a qualified martial arts Instructor. The unique characteristic of Tae Kwon-Do are the 5 tenets. (*see highlighted green below) These tenets are a learning aid for Instructors and student a alike and go hand-in-hand with the oath of Tae Kwon-Do which all students learn and recite regularly in the junior classes The building blocks of our system are themes, including: * Courtesy/ Integrity/Self Control/Perseverance/Indomitable Spirit/Confidence/Friendship/Self Awareness/ Self-Esteem/Dedication/Self-Improvement/ Respect/Goals and achievements. The class is a friendly social setting where children can meet other like-minded boys and girls from all walks of life. 75% of students start on their own and go on to make new friends. _______________________________________________________________________________________ THE T.A.G.B.
