Kids Programs - Challenging and Rewarding
Taekwondo is an excellent martial art for kids. The dynamic nature of Taekwondo is fantastic for getting kids motivated and moving - developing essential gross motor skills.
Taekwondo covers so many areas of physical development, striking, blocking, moving, jumping, fitness, strength and conditioning, flexibility. We also work on mental skills involved in martial arts training, helping kids learn new skills and develop self confidence. At Southern Stars Taekwondo we uphold the traditional tenets of Taekwondo - Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control and Indomitable Spirit.
Our program is designed to be challenging and rewarding. We cater for kids of all skill levels, we aim to give genuine praise for genuine progress. Children at an intermediate level and higher have the option to attend advanced classes, and we also offer competition specific training for those interested Olympic style Taekwondo fighting.
