Karate for Kids - Taekwondo USA is an official
member of the American Taekwondo Association. We are proud to be an accredited
member of the ATA family. With over 800 schools and 100,000 members, the ATA
is the world's largest centrally administered Martial Arts Organization. The
ATA was founded by Grand Master Haeng Ung Lee in 1969.
Our goal is to inspire our students with
dynamic Martial Arts spirit as we share with them the techniques of
Self-defense in Songahm Taekwondo. Songahm is our style of Taekwondo. The
Martial Arts spirit becomes a truly imdomitable weapon in confronting the
unwanted advances of an attacker, and in addition, the rigors of everyday
life. For the adult, it includes the confidence and determination to obtain
ones' goals. For the child, it provides the focus and concentration to excel
in school, and the courage to say "NO" to those who corrupt the principles
learned at home.

What is Taekwondo?
A Korean form of karate that has proven to be easy
to learn and to enjoy for children of all ages and athletic abilities
Taekwondo promotes.....
Self-confidence, which does
not come naturally for many children, often has to be developed over a
period
of time. As children accomplish new goals,
their confidence level increases. Children become more self confident
in karate because they progress individually at
their own pace and are not judged against others.
Self-defense can take many
forms. Many parents worry about their children being safe on the street, yet
on of
the real problems young adults face is their
ability to defend themselves against other kids. Karate teaches kids
to think instead of panicing in potentially
serious situations as well as how to react to threats from other kids.

A Parent's Questions.
When are classes scheduled?
See our schedule please!
How often should my children attend?
Initially, two times a week.
Does my child need anything other than a uniform to
start?
No.
Is it a good idea for Parents to watch class?
Our experience has proven that children learn more
readily and instructors teach
more effectively without large crowds. Although,
during tournaments, and other special
school activities, the public is encoiuraged to
attend.

I don't know if my child will stick with a long term
program.
