Taught safely with traditional values, Tae Kwon Do will help your child develop their physical coordination along with their concentration skills. Much more than learning the basic physical skills to defend themselves, Tae Kwon Do will help in all aspects of life - teaching respect for all things, giving them the positive influence and self confidence they will need to be successful at anything they do. Of course it is lot of fun to learn, and a good workout for our youth! Brand new students start out with the rank of "White Belt" and will work towards higher ranks (also indicated by color) which is designed to help them with goal setting and obtain a sense of self achievement. A higher rank in Tae Kwon Do demonstrates a level of maturity and personal responsibility in the student.
