Taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art. And what could the benefits of taekwondo for children possibly be in today’s world?  The potential benefits of taekwondo training for your kids are. . . . .

Quite simply–Massive!

And we see it first hand every day! Like physical fitness, weight control, increased concentration span, and learning respect for others, huge increases in childrens self confidence and self esteem. All while kids have fun.

It’s great to see fit children who are a healthy weight. Many of today’s children are overweight because they are inactive. Human bodies are built for exercise. And children are meant to exercise. To run. To jump. To get out of breath. One of the huge benefits of taekwondo for children is that the kids enjoy the physical exercise. They exercise their whole body–from head to toe. They gain physical fitness, and they want to keep coming back for more!

For young boys the tough physical training allows them to let off steam. They love kicking and punching under controlled conditions. But they also learn about self-control, and how taekwondo has to stay in the classroom. And what about taekwondo for girls? Being fit and healthy gives girls a positive body image. Learning to face confrontation and fear and powering through wooden boards develops self esteem and self confidence. And through this training, children in taekwondo get physically and mentally stronger, which helps them in daily life. And your children will learn from great role models–fit and healthy taekwondo instructors and senior belt students at the Asian Arts Center.
