I believe that Taekwondo and Martial Arts is one of the best things you can do for your child or children.
Here is a list of reasons why:
- Taekwondo teaches children how to physically protect themselves against attackers
- Through the physically training and conditioning children become stronger and more fit
- Children become more flexible through the practice of all the stretches that Taekwondo students do
- As Taekwondo is an art that has a large variety of different skills not common in other activities the student becomes more coordinated
- Students become more confidence in themselves and their abilities as they learn and achieve new skills and techniques that they never had before
- Children make new friends with their fellow classmates which is normally outside of their normal elementary school environment
- Leadership skills are developed and flourished when the students help each other to get better
- Children learn to work as a team as they have to work cooperatively with each other to further improve upon their skills and learning
- Goal setting is learned as students look forward to progressing in rank levels as they know they have to learn certain requirements to be able to advance
- Often times children will learn various life skills they may not get in other common activities
- Taekwondo is exercise and training with a purpose for children
- Taekwondo offers many different ways to compete if a child is interested in competing
- Children are exposed to important life concepts such as respect, courtesy, perseverance, loyalty, self control, and etc,.
- Children learn to face difficult challenges and how they can overcome anything they put their minds too
- And it’s a fun thing for them to do!!! 🙂
