Little Tigers

Our curriculum includes basic motions, kicking, breaking, and forms to develop their gross and fine motor skills, build physical strength, and create healthy exercise habits for life. We also put a high emphasis on teaching the core values of taekwondo, respect, humility, perserverance, self control, and indomitable spirit.

This program is developed especially for young students, ages 4-6 years old. This is an important stage of their life when they build the foundation of their personality and character. Experienced taekwondo instructors lead Little Tigers using various tools and equipments like cones, obstacles, and targets so they can begin to understand the fundamental principles of movement, body’s center, and balance.

Teens and Adults

Teens

Grandmaster Ahn has worked with teenagers of all levels, from beginners to members of the Korean National Team. The curriculum is designed to get students to think about and practice everything in deeper detail. Students will learn principles about how to use their natural body mechanics to maximize power. As their knowledge deepens, they will be able to practice more advanced taekwondo skills to improve their confidence and concentration.

The adult curriculum focuses on the fundamental theory of taekwondo. Everything stems from balance. Students will learn to use their body center and their center axis to create and maintain balance. Through poomsea forms students will apply balance, timing, and breathing to maximize their innate power.

The taekwondo for kids program is offered for students from 6 to 11 years old. At this age, students are growing rapidly, both mentally and physicaly. In order to keep learning and growing, kids need to face and overcome various challanges in their lives.
