Tae Kwon Do Tots Program - Ages 4 to 6 At North Austin Tae Kwon Do, our TKD tots program is second to none. We teach our students using a basic philosophy of positive reinforcement to build Self Esteem, Confidence, Discipline, Positive Attitude and Values. Our unique method of training is fun and is designed to:
The Tae Kwon Do Tots Program is martial arts skills development program that focuses on "8 essential skills":
The children learn martial arts skills in the context of these "8 essential skills". The program goes far beyond mere kicking and punching. Academic achievement, physical conditioning and peer interaction are emphasized as well as life skill development such as dealing with bullies and stranger awareness are taught. Promotion tests are offered every 3 months and are announced in advance. In order to test for their next belt, students must have good attendance, and permission from both the instructor and their parents. Testing requirements are freely available.
"Train the mind as well as the body?"
Our family discovered North Austin Tae Kwon Do when my 7 year old son enrolled at the urging of a friend. Now, 6 months later, my 4 year old daughter and I are devoted students as well. I have seen my children thrive under the guidance of Master Thomas and Jo Kyo Chad. They have gained self-confidence, self-discipline, and athleticism while having fun. I have been equally satisfied with my own experience. Like most women, I have tried in the past to meet my fitness needs by joining a gym, only to find the programs impersonal and uninspiring. Thanks to NATKD I have finally found a fantastic way to stay fit both mentally and physically. Being a student of the martial arts has been a truly empowering experience --- it has increased my strength, balance, flexibility, and focus. The program at North Austin TKD continues to hold my interest by constantly providing new challenges, and the comprehensive curriculum is able to meet the needs of students of all ages and abilities. Anyone who is looking for an activity that will engage both mind and body will not be disappointed by the classes at North Austin Tae Kwon Do! - Laura Herrick & Family, Adult, Child and Tots Students. |

Many
parents are enrolling kids in martial-arts classes hoping they will
learn discipline and self-defense and get a healthy workout. But a new
study suggests Western methods for teaching martial arts may make kids
more aggressive than savvy. Reason: Many courses ignore the ancient
philosophy and just teach body moves.
