Sparring
Ho Sin Sul (Self Defense: awareness training, and self defense against grabs and holds using take-downs, throws, etc)

JR. WARRIOR PROGRAM (AGES 5-10)

$65 per 3 month season (family discounts available)

A wonderful introduction to martial arts for kids 5-10 years old.

Using a play- and games-based approach, we teach young children:

Life Skills: Listening, self-reliance, teamwork, organization, leadership, and responsibility
Cognitive Skills: Memory, concentration
Taekwon-do Moral Culture: kindness, respect, self control, courtesy, honesty
Physical skills: Fitness, coordination, gross motor development, introductory taekwon-do techniques
Body safety (including dangerous people, bullying, emergencies, and assertiveness)

The overall goal of this program is to provide a developmentally-appropriate and fun introduction to martial arts for young children, while also giving them practical life skills and the ability to evaluate potentially dangerous situations and make age-appropriate decisions. We use games like "Simon Says" and "Follow the Leader" to help children sharpen their listening skills, self control, and more! The program is designed to take up to 2 years, depending on the child.

We do NOT engage in traditional contact sparring during the Warrior class. Non-contact "tag" or "capture the flag" type games are used to teach the self control that will be needed for sparring once they reach the appropriate age.

Testing: Students will be automatically promoted to the next "Jr. Stripe level" each season but are invited to demonstrate their abilities at our Saturday testing at the end of the season, which is followed by a pizza party and awards. Students wishing to participate must be in uniform. The testing fee is $20 for Jr. Warriors (helps to cover the cost of facility rental and pizza for the student and his/her family.)

Students will graduate with a yellow belt, ready to take on the challenges of our traditional class.

*Kids under the age of 7 must have a parent or guardian present during class (either as an observer or helper).
